similar to: Variable Bit Rate

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

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

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

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 guys, I found a really nasty issue that affects people running on Heroku''s cedar stack. We are using Rails 3.1.rc5, pg 11, omniauth 2.6. Ruby is 1.9.2.180p Basically there is an incompatibility between the http, pg and OpenSSL modules which segfaults when making https calls, for example to log in through twitter. Now pg is a required gem when using Heroku cedar stack so leaving that

Hi, Locally my application is 7MB without tests and logs, etc. The .git folder is 29 MB. I also have no gems / plugins in vendor folder. 95% of images sit on S3. However on committing to Heroku it shows -----> Compiled slug size is 62.7MB What is wrong? It happened?

A nightly scripted rsync backup job is giving me this error WARNING: vm/escDebLenny14G-flat.vmdk failed verification -- update discarded (will try again). I've searched the web and I think probably the problem is the source file changed during the copy. However, I haven't seen any explanations for the "will try again" part. Does it try again immediately? If so, does a

Hi - I'm running CentOS, which means many of the support libraries are a bit on the stale side. I have occasional need to transcode to theora - but it seems the transcode program, which I have managed to successfully install, does not have theora as an output option. It seems I have to use a program called ffmpeg2theora which I just can not get to build on CentOS - I'm guessing

On Windows XP I am running WinAMP to the Shoutcast server and then using an Icecast 2.2.0 server as a relay. The idea is to have a single source stream appear on both Shoutcast and Icecast directories. The log gives the following lines repeatedly but my server does not show when I search for it at http://dir.xiph.org and does not appear under the Icecast Stream Directory on WinAmp. >

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
