FLAC is variable bitrate, but the bitrate is determined by how efficiently the data can be compressed while maintaining 100% data integrity.

Is FLAC a variable bit rate format when streamed? If so, how can it be truly lossless? -- Dennis Brunnenmeyer Director of Engineering CEDAR RIDGE SYSTEMS 15019 Rattlesnake Road Grass Valley, CA 95945-8710 Office: 1 (530) 477-9015 Mobile: 1 (530) 320-9025 eMail: dennisb /at/ chronometrics /dot/ com http://www.chronometrics.com/crs/index.html <http://www.chronometrics.com/crs/index.html>

Brian... You've been both polite and helpful. Thanks. I do understand the dimensional nature of images and sound, though I admittedly glossed over the details while trying to draw attention to time rather than spatial artifacts. What I was looking for was confirmation that a properly designed application would decode FLAC without temporal issues. I believe you've made that perfectly

I'm well aware how compression works. But images and document files do not depend on the relative timing of the data to reproduce themselves. They are in essence only two-dimensional in space, whereas the data in a sound file is time-dependent. The question really has more to do with the decoded FLAC stream output, which I presume is a linear PCM file, e.g. WAV. If FLAC is lossless and

Hi... Is there any possibility of including a PDF file (A complete set of liner notes in a single multi-page document, for example.) in a FLAC file? If so, what needs to be done, if anything, to do so?

Hi, Sorry for being off topic, but I am stuck. What forums or mailing lists are suitable for advice on how to play a particular video file? The file (actually a set of eight files) has the extension ".wmv", but Windows Media Player gave the error that the file format did not match the extension. VLC also will not play the file. If anybody wants to look inside, I have placed the file

Perhaps update the codec to handle 32 bit files while remaining the same otherwise?

OK Martin. Thank you for the explanations and for your time. I am writing a program that reads and writes all existent Tags types. It lacks only to end the edition (rewriting) of "Native" Flac and Matroska. Both cases for the same problem: the separation of Tags and Picture in different blocks. In Flac I resolved it, but now I have to add METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE. Reading Vorbis

You said "With the exception of where to put a picture file, VorbisComments in a Vorbis stream are the same as VorbisComments in a FLAC stream." In METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE case they would not be the same. Up to now we could exchange the complete block of VorbisComments. But with the addiction of METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE doesn't happen this way. In Ogg files the METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE

I have been tidying up the VorbisComment page in the XiphWiki. The problem with it was that it was a mixture of proposals and discussion of those proposals. This made it difficult for implementers to see what to implement. The problem section is: http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/VorbisComment#New_ENCODER_field_name_proposal This is a mess, and all I could do was add attributions to the

Hello... For the last three years, several of us have been developing a FLAC-based digital music library for use at our radio station here in northern California. This was started first as an experimentwith the goal of understanding what it takes to make a useful library on a central network file server. In the process, we developed an improved and far more useful schema for tagging the
