Hi, I just started using FLAC and am very impressed. However I have run into a problem with the current (and other) Windows executables. If I encode with a higher compression level (say 7 or 8) I stand a high probability of BSODing or just plain rebooting. Strangely enough this behavious seems to go away if I use the default 5 compression level. Has anyone else had problems like this and is there a known fix (other than encoding at lower compression). So far this is true for 1.1.0 and 1.0.4 (the only 2 I have tried) on Win2K cheers, andy c

That's actually what I thought at first since userland programs *shouldn't* be able to do this. I guess maybe the higher settings just push the system more than usual and expose hw problems (i.e. RAM). I'll check the RAM integrity tonight... cheers, andy c
