similar to: FLAC: tool to re-encode (win32)

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

Hi I have downloaded a FLAC file somewhere and when trying to decode it to WAV it gives the error message: ERROR, MD5 signature mismatch So my question is now: are FLAC files that give the error message above still decodable to WAV (and how can you do this, because flac.exe doesn't want to decode the file), even if there is a MD5 signature mismatch, or is this not possible at all? thx

Hmm, what if the FLAC options produce a larger file on output than input? Would -f (force) cause the whole process to fail as soon as the output exceeded the input?

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:

hi, is it possible to re-encode an existing FLAC file by using the FLAC file itself as input to the encoder like this: flac -V --best inputfile.flac OR do you have decode it to WAV first? thx

Hi, I meant that it seems problematic to write an updated file to itself, because the operation could erase the data before it is read. Unless you read the entire file first, or write to a temporary file which is then renamed. I deal with FLAC files that are over a gigabyte, meaning that this could easily exceed normal buffers. Just curious. I guess I could go test it myself... or

Hi, I'm using windows so I know the wildcard support for flac is broken. That's why I use this command to encode a whole directory of WAV-files to FLAC-files in a command prompt: for %1 in (*.wav) do flac -V --best "%1" This command is fully working Now I want to write the flac output to a file, so I can open this file later. I tried to add > outputfile.txt to the command

I just tried this with Goldwave.. it decoded the file, i edited out some stuff, and saved the file (flac format) and the tags appear to be intact.

yes I know I can do that, but my question is if there is software to edit FLAC files without having to uncompress to WAV/recompress to FLAC. 2007/7/23, Avuton Olrich <avuton@gmail.com>: > > On 7/23/07, Harry Sack <tranzedude@gmail.com> wrote: > > hi > > > > does somebody know software for editing FLAC files?

Hi, I want to use the "flac" encoder (in commandline mode) and I specify this command to encode all .WAV files in the current directory: N:\WAV>flac -V --best -- *.wav flac 1.1.4, Copyright (C) 2000,2001,2002,2003,2004,2005,2006,2007 Josh Coalson flac comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

Hi, I tried to encode a WAV file to FLAC. But then I get a strange message: 99% complete. You can see the details below: 12 - In My Eyes (Radio Edit).wav: 99% complete, ratio=0,67412 - In My Eyes (Radi o Edit).wav: WARNING: skipping unknown sub-chunk 'LIST' 12 - In My Eyes (Radio Edit).wav: Verify OK, wrote 25090527 bytes, ratio=0,670 I have encoded the file using 'flac -V

Hi there, Command line binaries should only do one thing, and do it well. The job of flac (or flac.exe in windows) is to take something and compress it. Shells implement commands to do things like searches, string matching, looping, and stream editing. I wouldn't want to see Josh waste his time re-implementing and having to maintain "dir", "grep", or "find"

hi, suppose I burn my flac files to CD (not audio cd, but just data cd with all the flac files) and after some time the cd becomes damaged and some bits in some flac files are read incorrectly by the cd-rom drive. So what happens then with those flac files. Will doing verify on them fail? Will you still be able to decode them to WAV with only some damaged frames so with incorrect bits at the
