Hello everyone, I was just browsing through some video capturing websites/forums and saw some people complain that there was no lossless codec available to encode audio in AVI files. I thought that FLAC would have one but it doesn't seem to be the case. As it's a popular demand (now that hard drives are inexpensive, people can record hours of video/audio without any loss and then compress to their preferred format) I thought I could/should help on this one. I'm currently working on the ACM version of LAME (MP3 encoder) and since the code architecture is ready I think it would be quite easy/fast to do the same job on FLAC. I saw on the website that the ACM was a work in progress, but have seen no other mention anywhere else. So if someone is working on that I'm ready to help, otherwise I'm ready to start it. Also I could provide the necessary .dsw and .dsp to compile FLAC in Visual Studio (and which may use the Intel Compiler which is much more efficient on that kind of subject). cya

That's not fully true. My project only contains DirectShow filters for playback and for compression. (Sidenote: for testing you should either download the snapshot zip package or compile from source. I haven't made a release with installer yet, because I'm currently rewriting my Ogg filters (with Vorbis, FLAC and Video support) and I want that done before I make a new release.) Daniel Souza announced to create an ACM driver in the past. Perhaps you should make a search in the mailinglist archives. Regards, Ingo

I'll have a deeper look (even if it's not CVS).> Daniel Souza announced to create an ACM driver in the past.
