similar to: flac hardware recoder

Hello, my name is Christopher Timko. I am currently a Senior at the University of Arkansas majoring in computer engineering. As part of our graduation requirements, we must complete a design project. Students are encouraged to chose open source technology, since a network of development exists for most of these ideas. I have decided to investigate the feasibility of creating a hardware

Dear list, > Which "output file" are you referring to?? Also, your question is incompletely specified, because you do not qualify whether the input is the same when you expect the output to be the same. My question is the following: For any encoding option (e.g. -5, default), does the flac encoder produce the same byte-for-byte output regardless of the CPU? Regards, Fernando

> PS: Here is the answer of David Bryant, the developer of WavPack: "The WavPack codec is hardware independent; the standard "C" encoder will produce the same byte-for-byte output regardless of the CPU it is running on (assuming a properly working C compiler, of course)." The same is true of flac, as long as you're using the same version of the encoder, right? The same

I don't see any problem with taking innovation as far as is practical and saying "it's finished, no more updates". I'm not expecting FLAC or cdparanoia to be able to integrate with FaceHugger, or even to be able to query track titles online. If I want to

For example the amount of buffering required in the decoder. If I understand the flac format correctly, all decoders must support block sizes upto 65535 samples (ie 256k of decoded stereo

i was wondering how one would go about approaching hardware manufacturers to support flac. i get the sense that in the case of phatnoise, one of their devs already knew about flac and took the initiative (although if this isn't the case, please correct me). but how would you go about asking say, apple, to add flac support to the ipod? the ipod can already play a number of formats,

I have used FLAC and FLAC Frontend on my windows XP machine for years but I cannot get it to run on my Windows 7 64bit machine for some reason. I have installed FLAC.exe and FLAC Frontend and I can load the .wav files into the Frontend and when I click on encode I get the command line screen for about two seconds and then it disappears and that's as far as I can get. I don't get any error

Microsoft officially confirmed on Friday that it is working on adding Vorbis and FLAC support on its music and entertainment "project" dubbed Zune, which includes hardware and software products that offer users on-the-go access to music and entertainment. "Under the Zune brand, we will deliver Vorbis and FLAC support on our family of hardware and software products, the first of

Dear list, We are investigating about some state-of-the-art lossless audio codecs and their performance in terms of? rate and compression ratio. Therefore, it is very important to us to know whether a codec is hardware independent, i.e. if it produces the same output file regardless of the hardware. Could you please tell me whether FLAC is hardware independent? Thank you very much in advance.

FLAC is a format which guarantees lossless data preservation. FLAC does not guarantee a specific or consistent compression ratio. If you are looking for a guarantee that the compression ratio is repeatable, then you are looking in the wrong place. While it is probably true that the same executable will produce the same FLAC file from the same source file on different PCs, I'm not

My name is christopher timko. I am a senior in computer engineering doing work on a hardware implimentation of flac. I was curious if someone could help me by pointing me to section of code i need to be looking at for the pc version of flac. Unfortunatly, i am not that accoustomed to looking at full c projects, so i am kind of lost here. I found the encode function in the main routine

Sure, basics :) Again, I'm meaning in regard to about bugs, docs, porting and nits. > If I want to do freedb

I'd like to announce the first public demo of a hardware FLAC decoder that I and three of my colleagues have been working on over the past 8 months. This project has been developed as part of the University of Waterloo's Fourth Year Design Project requirement for undergrad students in Electrical & Computer Engineering. Our decoder has been implemented in VHDL and is currently

Oh I don't doubt the basics, red book is red book and bits are identically replicable and re rippable bits. But just as I said, there

I'm using flac-1.2.1 and visual studio 2010 on windows xp sp3 and I want to compress raw CDDA with the stream encoder to a file. But I just can't get the flac encoder to work, the encoder always returns an error enc.get_state() == "FLAC__STREAM_ENCODER_VERIFY_MISMATCH_IN_AUDIO_DATA" get_verify_decoder_state() == "FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_READ_FRAME" this is the code I

Has anyone had any luck getting flac frontend to work with windows 7 64 bit? No matter what I try I cannot get flac to work even running it with administrator privileges. I never had a problem using fiac on my old windows XP 32 bit system. Thanks, gene -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Harry, I wrote a little command line utility for this in C# - the lib it uses is a little overkill for the task but it does work. As Josh noted there is no compression gain, so I wouldn't bother unless you have FLAC's encoded with older versions. I also think Josh said there's a .BAT file out there that does the same thing. Here's the file:
