Hello, I'm attempting to convert fairly large WAV files (90 - 800 MB each) using flac but the files do not work after the encoding. (The play fine in wav format)
Command I'm using: flac --verify -8 file.wav Attempting to run the file with either flac123 or the default player for Ubuntu (Movie Player?) results in the extremely terse messages: Default Player: "An Error Occurred: Could Not Decode Stream" flac123: "error handler called!" <- repeated over and over and over There are no errors during the encoding, though there are some warnings. Here is the output: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ flac -f -8 --verify 10_A.wav 10_A.wav: WARNING: skipping unknown sub-chunk 'bext' (use --keep-foreign-metadata to keep) 10_A.wav: WARNING: legacy WAVE file has format type 1 but bits-per-sample=24 10_A.wav: WARNING: skipping unknown sub-chunk 'minf' (use --keep-foreign-metadata to keep) 10_A.wav: WARNING: skipping unknown sub-chunk 'elm1' (use --keep-foreign-metadata to keep) 10_A.wav: 100% complete, ratio=0.62410_A.wav: WARNING: skipping unknown sub-chunk 'regn' (use --keep-foreign-metadata to keep) 10_A.wav: WARNING: skipping unknown sub-chunk 'ovwf' (use --keep-foreign-metadata to keep) 10_A.wav: WARNING: skipping unknown sub-chunk 'umid' (use --keep-foreign-metadata to keep) 10_A.wav: Verify OK, wrote 168060055 bytes, ratio=0.624 As a final random test, I attempted to split one of the wav files (my ultimate goal is split flac files) using wavsplit. That resulted in the following output/error. Channels: 1 Samplerate: 96000Hz Samplebits: 24 Databytes: 269503836 Split Hours Mins Seconds Bytes % Bad file format Thank you in advance for any help anyone can provide me! I've never used a mailing list before... will I just receive any replies automatically back to this email? If I won't, I'd really appreciate it if someone directly emailed me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) to tell me how to check it. Thank you again, Matthew
