Hi, I am attempting to use flac to encode 96k/24-bit broadcast wav (BWF) files. BWFs are wav files with some extra meta-data chunks, and is the favoured archival format for many institutions around the world. These files are encoded successfully by flac, however the resulting flac file is not playable on all flac players - it plays successfully in foobar2000 but is si...

Hi Justin, I have a suggestion, but it may not be very convenient. You could try converting the 24/96 BWF to AIFF, and then use flac to compress the 24/96 AIFF. There is no difference in audio quality between the FLAC file generated from BWF (WAV) vs. AIFF, so perhaps this extra step will solve your problem in the short term. Sorry I haven't used BWF or WAV very frequently, but 24/96 AIFF...

I have successfully installed coda in R, and I am also able to read output from a Bugs run into coda. When I try to plots from CODA Output Analysis Menu, I do however _get_ problems: CODA Output Analysis Menu ************************* 1:Plots 2:Statistics 3:List/Change Options 4:Return to Main Menu Selection: 1 Error: "missing" illegal use of missing Quitting CODA....

I have exactly the same problem. I encoded a BWF file to flac and then then decoded back to wav, using --keep-foreign-metadata, and I ended up with a bit-perfect copy of the original BWF. So I was fairly confident that the flac encoding is working correctly, the problem definitely appears to be with the flac players. Unfortunately it seems that...

Hello, I'm attempting to convert fairly large WAV files (90 - 800 MB each) using flac but the files do not work after the encoding. (The play fine in wav format) Command I'm using: flac --verify -8 file.wav Attempting to run the file with either flac123 or the default player for Ubuntu (Movie Player?) results in the extremely terse messages: Default Player: "An Error Occurred:

Hi all, Currently I'm looking for users of the --keep-foreign-metadata feature of FLAC. There has been some improvement of this feature in FLAC 1.4.0. Since 2007 there has been a warning in FLAC that --keep-foreign-metadata is a new feature. I think removal of this warning is long overdue, but there are still some issues surrounding it. So, if there are users of this feature on the mailing

So some research and experimentation I think I found the problem, but I'm not sure how to go about fixing it. If I import one of the wav files into Audacity then export them as "16 bit PCM" then they encode to flac and play fine. The files bitrates are currently at 24. If I export them from audacity as a 24 or 32 (anything higher than 16), flac fails on me. With a bitrate of 24, the

Hello all, how can LDAP Expansion being debugged? I need to see which LDAP Query is sent to the LDAP server and which Result is sent by the Server. Best regards, Thomas.

RF64 support sure would be nice, but it wouldn't really help to do this "instead of" CAF. For one thing, Logic Studio Pro does not seem to support RF64, because the manual states that WAVE and BWF are limited to 4 GB. CAF may be a format which lacks universal support, but RF64 is also very limited in usefulness. Treating either one as a substitute for the other is not going to help. Personally, I'd welcome support for either or both. With an open- source project like this, I...

...e same data, some more efficient than others. FLAC ensures that the exact same audio samples will reach your playback device, while merely using less disk space (or network bandwidth) to represent the same data. The whole point of FLAC is that it is lossless. WAV files allow metadata, too. BWF (Broadcast Wave File) requires even more metadata types than WAV. FLAC can preserve this metadata, but is perhaps not the most efficient way to store some metadata. What sorts of metadata do you need in the audio file? As for uncompressed, all audio file formats except RAW have some amount...

...corresponds to the "wall clock" UTC at time of recording. The article proposes 2 methods (with working Perl code) to embed the time as in-band noise in the audio. One method (LSB stealing) requires lossless encoding; the other is audible but can survive lossy encoding. I'm sure that BWF supports timecode (SMPTE or compatible) as out-of-band data, and I assumed that FLAC also had some support for this. Was I wrong? -- -Dec. --- (no microsoft products were used to create this message)

Thanks for all the responses to my question. I think I can use shntool hash option for my project I did not find in the shntool documentation or flac documentation that the hash or st5 always would match the flac fingerprint. But at least in a couple tests I did they matched. And I found some more comments around the internet indicating they were the same. -----Original Message----- From:

Hi all, i'd like to ask what the best options are for safe 24bit 96kHz archiving. Currently i'm only using -8 but there are also some other options like block size etc. Can anyone suggest? Also i'd like to ask whether a no-lax 192kHz mode is planned in flac, seems like 192kHz isn't directly supported although flac can compress such rate in lax mode. My last question - is there

I thought that an uncompressed FLAC file provides better sound quality than a compressed FLAC file.
