Topic: Vista & large FLAC file encoding

[hoyt]

This past weekend I went to encode some 24 bit wave files on my laptop that has Vista on it.  They encode fine, but then if I immediatly test them I get this error meesge:

FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_UNPARSEABLE_STREAM

I can FTP the 24 bit waves to an XP machine, and they encode perfectly fine.  The intro track encodes and tests fine on Vista, so my guess is that this is a file size issue, not a 24 bit issue.  I ran a memtest on my laptop and the memory checked out ok, so I'm at a loss as to the problem. 

When I search the forums for Vista and FLAC all I find about errors are with the installer - which installed perfectly fine for me (1.7.1).

Any idea?  Thanks!

hoyt, I suspect that This may be your issue. Basically the encoder was updated to work with files more efficiently, but the rest of the components havent caught up to the encoder portion...

Nice!  I rolled back to flac 1.2.0 and now the files check out when I encode them.  Thanks, +t for the help!
