Thanks for the interest, Michael. I don't use Ogg, so I'm a little wary that standard FLAC would be left out of any Ogg Frog implementation. But I say that mostly out of ignorance. I have noticed that there seem to be two worlds for FLAC, inside Ogg and outside. It's important to be aware of the fact that many hardware devices support the FLAC format directly, without the

Do you have a source on the CoreAudio quality thing? I'd be very interested in reading more about that. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/flac-dev/attachments/20150719/f37ce5e8/attachment.htm

I upgraded to Leopard (version 10.5 of OS X) a few weeks ago. Although I was a bit disappointed, but not surprised, to see that FLAC support isn't built natively into the OS, I was very happy to notice recently that Apple ships source code for a FLAC encoder and decoder codec component in /Developer/Examples/CoreAudio/AudioCodecs/ FLAC.xcodeproj. All that is necessary to build the

Lots of comments throughout this one...

Hi Martijn, thank you for your answer. So the problem would be suboptimal compression due to suboptimal assumption about the input signal, right? What I do not understand is how the format of a FLAC format would be affected by supporting A-law and mu-law files as input (and thus output). Despite of suboptimal performance, is it possible to treat 8bit *-law samples as 8bit linear PCM files and

There are a few flac players on OS X now, but none (at least none that i know of) seem to use Core Audio. So they all freak out if i try to play a 24/96 file. I was recently poking around with the Tiger X Code tools and there's a simple core audio player in there /Developer/Examples/CoreAudio/Services/AudioFileTools/ called afplay. how hard would it be to get this thing playing flac

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

Ok, so here's the deal... I've been having a lot of trouble sleeping, so I've done some research and discovered this program called "Hemi-Sync". I decided to torrent it from the Pirate Bay to try it out before spending my money. What I torrented worked incredibly, so bought it, then torrented another Hemi-Sync program: Lucid Dreaming. It's a DVD-Audio program. What I

This thread has raised several good topics. It's surprising that the FLAC-Dev list has been silent for years, and now suddenly there are several good ideas to discuss.

Hi, sndfile-convert already converts from all these formats to FLAC, but the flac tool itself has more flac-specific options. Is it possible to use sndfile-convert to provide the input data? In any case Erik is maintaining both libsndfile and libflac, and it's unlikely he'd want to duplicate the code. If anything it'd make more sense to remove code for reading other formats from the

I bought myself a PowerBook and hoped to play my FLAC-encoded library via iTunes. Alas -- it doesn't work. My understanding is that iTunes uses QuickTime for playback; does anyone know where to find a FLAC codec for QuickTime? I noticed that there was some discussion about this ~1 year ago on flac-dev. Did any dev projects get underway, or should I roll up my sleeves and give it a go? -Dave

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

I use Sony (previously Sonic Foundry) Sound Forge, which allows me to save audio files in .w64 (Wave 64) format to get around the 2GB .wav file limitation. W64 was invented by Sonic Foundry, and is an open format as far as I know. The only programs I know about using the .w64 format at the moment are Sound Forge and Steinberg Nuendo, although there may be others out there. With increasing
