Nick -
You are right on the mark!
I downloaded WMP 7.1 and the the coding algorithms appeared. By my
calculations, an 800 MB CD will tolerate about 4.6KB/second. Allowing for
an extra hour and 740 MB CD's, anything that records at or below 4KB/s
should be fine.
Not having a station at home, I am playing on of my daughter's CD's on my
wife's PC to generate something to record. The highest performance Mono
setting sounds pretty good and generates 3.9KB/sec. I presume that radio
audio will be OK with even slower sampling.
If only Writelog (more specifically my soundboard) could mix the mic and
line in, it would be really cool
Thanks for your help

Hi Tom:
You may have to install Windows Media Player 7.1 to get the MPEG 3
Compression format available to choose from Writelog.
Here, I am using 32 kBit/s 11,025 3 Kb/s MPEG-3 format option. File for
one hour of recorded audio is 14 Mb in size. For the entire contest it
comes up to 672 Mb. It should fit on 80 minute CD.

I am planning to record the WW SSB contest using Writelog and I have been
searching the archives for tips.
Some people (W2UP, K3WW) have mentioned using MPEG level 3 which could
record the entire contest in under 400MB. This has the added benefit of
fitting on a CD for more permanent archive. However, I do not have an MPEG
choice under Writelog for compression options. Is this a function of
Writelog or the sound card I am using?
Assuming that I cannot use MPEG, what other settings have other people used
successfully that could fit in 800MB. This is about 4KB/sec
I have tried a few and one of the Microsoft ADPCM options sounded best for
4KB/Sec. I suppose another option is to record it with high quality and try
to compress it afterwards with software but I suspect that will be a long
job.
Thanks for your help,
