Hi Jim
Thank you for your questions.
How long does it take to transform a source file into a new destination file?
As requantization is not compete decoding plus encoding, a processing is a few times faster than real time.
Unfortunately at the present moment the Requantizing SDK does not support VBR to CBR conversion, though we was going to implement this feature some time ago. So contact us if you really need it and we discuss its implementation.
