[Flac-dev] Can a libFLAC encoder be initialize and called from inside a libFLAC decoder callback?
I am getting large, corrupted native FLAC files when trying to call the
encoder from inside the decoder. The metadata in the output file is OK.
Is initializing and calling an encoder from inside a libFLAC decoder write
callback supported? The encoder is initialized on the first write callback.
Environment is Win 7 Ult, 64-bit, VS 2008, libFLAC 1.2.1.
Here is some context. The static callback calls the instance callback.
Encoder is initialized on line with "m_HaveEncoder =
InitializeEncoder();".
Samples are submitted to the encoder on line with "FLAC__bool OK
FLAC__stream_encoder_process(m_Encoder, Buffer, Blocksize);".
I have a version that decodes to a WAV file and then re-encodes the WAV
file, but would like to avoid all that I/O.
Regards.
David

[Flac-dev] Can a libFLAC encoder be initialize and called from inside a libFLAC decoder callback?
Have you tried decoding to memory, and encoding from that memory? This technique would avoid file I/O. If you are reluctant to allocate enough memory for the full file (and why not, with a 64-bit system?), then you could implement a FIFO. You would need a semaphore to keep track of the decoder's progress, and multithreaded coding. The decoder would pause, whenever the FIFO gets full, until the encoder empties out the samples so far. It's also possible that you have made a mistake in InitializeEncoder () where the new file format does not match the incoming Buffer blocks.

[Flac-dev] Can a libFLAC encoder be initialize and called from inside a libFLAC decoder callback?
Thanks for the tip, Brian. I did have a version that does everything in memory, but only had enough memory to get six threads going. (Although my system has 16GB, I have not taken the time to create 64-bit libraries for wxWidgets, TagLib, libFLAC, etc.) Based on the direction you are pointing me in, I assume that encoding from within the decoder is not permitted. I really like your idea of the FIFO, and will probably go in that direction. What do you think of implementing the FIFO via a pipe? That might simplify the implementation. Thanks for the advice. Kindest regards to you and the flac-dev community.

[Flac-dev] Can a libFLAC encoder be initialize and called from inside a libFLAC decoder callback?
As is evident from the code snippet below, I was initializing the encoder on
every write callback. Once I fixed that it worked.
So, the encoder can be initialized and called from within a decoder
callback.
My apologies to the group for this post. I should have caught this before
posting.
