Lame 3.99.5: "%%%%%" instead of "*****" in VBR "bar graph"
Sometimes, when LAME converts .WAV tracks to MP3 via VBR, the "bar graph" in the verbose output will show some "%%%%%%" symbols.
So, instead of this:
Frame | CPU time/estim | REAL time/estim | play/CPU | ETA
4000/4046 (99%)| 0:11/ 0:11| 0:11/ 0:11| 8.6168x| 0:00
32 [ 0]
40 [ 1] *
48 [ 0]
56 [ 5] *
64 [ 10] *
80 [ 19] *
96 [ 50] **
112 [ 427] *************
128 [ 741] **********************
160 [2331] ********************************************************************
192 [ 397] ************
224 [ 19] *
256 [ 0]
320 [ 0]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
kbps MS % long switch short %
150.8 100.0 96.9 1.8 1.4
...it will show this:
Frame | CPU time/estim | REAL time/estim | play/CPU | ETA
4000/4046 (99%)| 0:11/ 0:11| 0:11/ 0:11| 8.6168x| 0:00

I have been trying to search to find out what this means, but I guess I can't figure out what to search for, as most web and forum search engines don't like "%%%%%".
Can anyone explain what this means?
