similar to: RE: Converting to 1.1.4, help please!

You're right it decodes to WAV then re-encodes.. it uses flac option "-w" (warnings as error) and checks for error return codes.. if an error occurs it restores the original file and reports the problem when it fnishes or you ^C the program.. After re-encoding it deletes the wav, reads the original FLAC's metadata blocks (minus streaminfo and seektable) and writes them to

"reflac" seems like a decent script for being absolutely certain about the conversion, but I can't help but think that it would run 5 times faster without the "flac -t" and also using a single flac re- encode without the intermediate WAV file. I haven't done this before, so I have no idea whether the metadata blocks would be preserved more easily without the

Hey Jud, Thanks! I copied two of my FLAC folders (CDs) into a temp dir just to test it out and see if I could get it to run. I put the four unzipped files into the dir folder and opened a cmd window using the same options you suggested: "reflac -r -8 -nw -nb" It looks as though it first converts the files to WAV then re-encode them into FLAC 1.1.4 then deletes the WAV, correct? I was

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:

is wrapping c++ any easier? because there is libFLAC++ otherwise, if you only need a certain subset of what FLAC does it might be easier to write a smaller C interface + wrapper implementation, then import that in c#.

hi, does somebody else knows more software that can display the embedded picture in FLAC files? The software must run on windows. thx 2007/4/10, Jud White <jwhite@cdtag.com>: > > I just installed foo_ui_columns and foo_uie_albumart, however the > albumart plugin only supports images in the directory.

I tried that approach a while ago and failed miserably. Marshalling the structs of structs in the flac lib turned out to be a nightmare (I don't pretend to be an expert, mind you...). I eventually switched to writing my own C# lib from scratch. Work is still under progress. It's no rocket science, I do this a G-job. It has definite limitations (no documentation, decodes only 16-bit files,

Hi all We installed Samba 2.2.3a to host files for the computers of our secretary-office. Our secretaries are using Win2k computers, mostly Excel. Win2k - German - SP3 Excel2k Pro - German - SP3 We have the following problem: If they try to open files using Workplace-Directory-Folders they get following error: Once in a while Excel hangs after opening three or four files. If they try to

Regards, Sent this one before, here's another go: My sambaserver, let's call it sserv, is running Solaris 8 (latest Recommended set) or 9 (tried both) compiled with automount support. When PC client A tries to access a file in a automounted mapping from sserv, the client is freezing and Windows Explorer has to be restarted. The NFS server which the samba server automounts from is a

Hi, sorry if it is the wrong approuch to suggest improvments to OpenSSH, but here comes my suggestion: I recently stumbled upon the scponly shell which in it's chroot:ed form is an ideal solution when you want to share some files with people you trust more or less. The problem is, if you use the scponlyc as shell, port forwarding is still allowed. This can of course be dissallowed in

hi I have some questions about re-encoding existing FLAC files to FLAC 1.2.0.: - can older 1.1.x FLAC files be re-encoded to FLAC 1.2.0 by using the FLAC 1.2.0 encoder? - can FLAC files encoded with the FLAC Flake SVN encoder (or any other 'unofficial' FLAC encoder) be re-encoded by using the FLAC 1.2.0 encoder? thx in advance! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment

Jud, why would you write this in .NET and limit its portability? flac runs on Unix and Mac OS X, so if you were to write in C/C++ then your tool would be available to everyone who can run flac.

My FLAC files reside on my Infrant NV (XRAID) and are also backed up on my PC and on an external USB HDD. That makes 3 copies. I've read most everything on the FLAC site, but as I have mentioned I don't know much about structuring a command line. My PC is also quite old (early P4 from 2000 w/256MB RAM) so I think it will take a LOT of time for this to run through over 1200 CDs worth of

A question that someone asked me, cut and pasted from another board: >>I've got 8 cores on my machine and while encoding only one processor is used, and maxed out.
