Summary: Assembly Encoding Differences

Initial Comment:
I have found what appear to be encoding errors using lame 3.84.4.
My source file is Anam.waw which was ripped from a reference CD
using EAC. I got exactly the same file using different machines.

I used the command lines shown below to convert the .wav to .mp3.
These give different results on different machines. The only
difference in the parameters is the use of assembly. That should
be transparent to the results. All command lines should result in
identical output files.

Test machines 1 and 3 are Intel and give the same results. Test
machine 1 is very old and runs Windows 2000. Test machine 3 is
fairly new and runs Windows XP. Test machine 3 is an Athelon and
runs Windows XP.

Output files of the same length are identical. I also used MP3
Checker to validate the output files. All output files passed
validation in this test.

However, I was lead to this by output files which failed validation
and found that the difference was the use of assembly. Since I
don't remember the exact parameters or source files I used for
that I can't give repeatable examples for that. However, this
should suffice to illustrate the differences in encoding that
result from using different assembly options.

Command lines:

   lame -q 0 -V 0 -b 64 -B 320 -t --noasm mmx --noasm 3dnow --noasm sse Anam.wav Anam-0.mp3
   lame -q 0 -V 0 -b 64 -B 320 -t --noasm mmx --noasm 3dnow             Anam.wav Anam-1.mp3
   lame -q 0 -V 0 -b 64 -B 320 -t --noasm mmx               --noasm sse Anam.wav Anam-2.mp3

   lame -q 0 -V 0 -b 64 -B 320 -t                                       Anam.wav Anam-7.mp3

Message:

I have replicated this problem using 3.99.5. The size of the .mp3 files
are
slightly different, presumably due to the changes to the .mp3 encoding
algorithm. Using exactly the same command lines, here are the current
results
for Test.1 and Test.2.

Test.1 Output Directory

7,230,062 Anam-0.mp3
7,229,957 Anam-1.mp3
7,230,062 Anam-2.mp3
7,229,957 Anam-3.mp3
7,230,062 Anam-4.mp3
7,229,957 Anam-5.mp3
7,230,062 Anam-6.mp3
7,229,957 Anam-7.mp3

Test.2 Output Directory

7,230,062 Anam-0.mp3
7,229,957 Anam-1.mp3
7,230,055 Anam-2.mp3
7,229,957 Anam-3.mp3
7,230,062 Anam-4.mp3
7,229,957 Anam-5.mp3
7,230,055 Anam-6.mp3
7,229,957 Anam-7.mp3
