Subject:Stream Info - batch processing to create *.rm files

I use SF to batch process wav's or mp3's into Real Audio
files. I am encoding to multi-rate (28, 56 and Corporate
LAN). Here comes the tricky part:

When I open one of these rm files in REAL MEDIA EDITOR
(part of REAL PRODUCER) after it's been converted using the
SF batch converter with the above setting and click on
STREAM INFO, it comes back with the following:

Stream 0: Audio: bitrate=20000, preroll=2320, sampling
rate=11025, codec='20 Kbps Stereo Music'
Stream 1: Audio: bitrate=16230, preroll=2224, sampling
rate=22050, codec='16 Kbps Music'
Stream 2: Audio: bitrate=11043, preroll=2040, sampling
rate=11025, codec='11 Kbps Music'
Stream 3: Audio: bitrate=32460, preroll=1946, sampling
rate=22050, codec='32 Kbps Stereo Music'
Stream 4: Audio: bitrate=96695, preroll=2070, sampling
rate=44100, codec='96 Kbps Stereo Music'
Stream 5: Audio: bitrate=64695, preroll=1840, sampling
rate=44100, codec='64 Kbps Stereo Music'
Stream 6: Audio: bitrate=44137, preroll=1856, sampling
rate=22050, codec='44 Kbps Stereo Music'
Stream 7: Audio: bitrate=20000, preroll=2320, sampling
rate=11025, codec='20 Kbps Stereo Music'
Stream 8: Audio: bitrate=20000, preroll=2320, sampling
rate=11025, codec='20 Kbps Stereo Music'

Notice that the last bit of that - the Kbps line is stacked
as 20, 16, 11, 32, 96, 64, 44, 20, 20. The way this is
stacked it will not work correctly on our server. I have
to re-open each file individually in REAL MEDIA EDITOR and
re-save the files. After I resave them, the STREAM INFO
reads like this (just the end numbers): 20, 20, 20, 16, 11,
32, 96, 64, 44. The full details of the stream info are:

Stream 0: Audio: bitrate=20000, preroll=2320, sampling
rate=11025, codec='20 Kbps Stereo Music'
Stream 1: Audio: bitrate=20000, preroll=2320, sampling
rate=11025, codec='20 Kbps Stereo Music'
Stream 2: Audio: bitrate=20000, preroll=2320, sampling
rate=11025, codec='20 Kbps Stereo Music'
Stream 3: Audio: bitrate=16230, preroll=2224, sampling
rate=22050, codec='16 Kbps Music'
Stream 4: Audio: bitrate=11043, preroll=2040, sampling
rate=11025, codec='11 Kbps Music'
Stream 5: Audio: bitrate=32460, preroll=1946, sampling
rate=22050, codec='32 Kbps Stereo Music'
Stream 6: Audio: bitrate=96695, preroll=2070, sampling
rate=44100, codec='96 Kbps Stereo Music'
Stream 7: Audio: bitrate=64695, preroll=1840, sampling
rate=44100, codec='64 Kbps Stereo Music'
Stream 8: Audio: bitrate=44137, preroll=1856, sampling
rate=22050, codec='44 Kbps Stereo Music'


Is there a way to set sound forge batch processor so that
the stream info is consistent with what Real Producer
outputs????

Thank you!!
