I wrote xACT, and it just calls the official command line with

flac [-level] [-V if chosen] [input file]

there's nothing else going on in there when converting a wav to flac

I thought it might be an uploading problem, but he also gets the same issues 
when  
simply moving from one of his computers to the other.   (I supposed that could  
also be a transfer issue, though I doubt it).

He's using a 3rd party front end for the mac (xACT) which simply calls the flac 
 
1.2.1 command line tool.

Thanks again,

Thanks for the response.

He sent me a link to the files here:

http://www.archive.org/details/wolf2011-05-29.cleantone

I just grabbed the first track (only 2.7 MB), and metaflac gave me an MD5, but  
the file failed testing and won't decode.

md5 in flac file: 8cefa4d345df955912a2ca94178f072d
correct md5 according to shntool: ce67ad906f81db0d914104bea08b0825

So it looks like his machine is creating bad md5s.  I just don't know enough 
about  
why this could be the case or what else I should be looking at...

Thanks,

[Flac-dev] MD5 Signature Mismatch

2011-05-31 Thread Scott C. Brown 02
I found an old thread from 2007:

http://www.mail-archive.com/flac@xiph.org/msg00702.html

I have a user who is getting this same "MD5 Signature mismatch."

2 times he told me he got it today:

1 time: using the flac 1.2.1 encoder (command line compiled from official flac  
src) on a g5 (power pc) mac, he created a file set and uploaded to archive.org. 
 
  archive.org uses flac 1.2.1 to test the files and then convert them to 
ogg/mp3.  
  the test step gave "MD5 signature mismatch."

2nd time: he opened a flac file created on the power pc mac on a windows 
machine  
in CD wav and split it up into 3 flac files.  he then copied the files back 
onto  
the power pc mac and tried to decode them.  flac 1.2.1 (command line compiled  
from src) gave an "md5 signature mismatch" error

he ran a ram test and Techtool Pro reported his ram to be ok.  Anyone have any  
idea what's causing the issue?

[Flac-dev] multiple cores?

2007-08-06 Thread Scott C. Brown 02
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. Is there any way to distribute the load across multi-cores?<<


I have no idea what the answer to this is.  The question was about flac on OS X

i compiled flac 1.1.2 on my intel mac and it wants libflac in /usr/local/lib

using v 1.1.1, it didn't.  i was able to put the compiled flac binary anywhere
and it ran fine.  but with v 1.1.2, the compiled flac binary needs libflac now?

can i avoid this somehow?

[Flac-dev] Core Audio player for OS X?

2005-11-12 Thread Scott C. Brown 02
There are a few flac players on OS X now, but none (at least none that i know
of) seem to use Core Audio.  So they all freak out if i try to play a 24/96
file. 

I was recently poking around with the Tiger X Code tools and there's a simple
core audio player in there

/Developer/Examples/CoreAudio/Services/AudioFileTools/

called afplay.  how hard would it be to get this thing playing flac files?

I've very new to CoreAudio, but I know there was some discussion about it
regarding flac back in July...
