I have a bunch of m4a files that I want to convert to mp3 vbr, average 192kpbs.
Command looks like this:
ffmpeg -hide_banner -i input.m4a -q:a 192 oput.mp3
I end up with something with an average bitrate of 62kbps. How does this q:a option actually work? The manual is very sparse there.

I solved this one. For lame, it expects one of 0-9 as parameters for audio quality. So by passing 1 to -q:a I got the result I wanted.
