see I always wondered about the truth to that.
My understanding is that there is a bit of an algorithm that analyzes the "non human" frequencies and removes those while saving the remainder under whatever format "translation" output you desire (mp3 etc..)
I figured if all the garbage is removed already it would just basically go "well I couldn't really remove anything but uh, here you go"
the only time what you said could apply is if they were going from a lower quality bitrate to a higher quality bitrate.
like 128 converted to 320 would be completely and utterly pointless as the data that represents the difference was already removed.
oh well
