Help with FLAC
« on: January 04, 2004, 03:47:41 PM »
Ok, decided to try FLAC. Got it installed ok, but it keeps erroring out in different places each time. Sometimes it will get through and encode fine. Other tracks it take me like 10-15 tries before it will stop dying saying I have a mistmatch in my audio data. Not consistent at all so I know the files are fine...what gives here? .shn never gave me issues like this.

never had a problem like that with flac ever, whereas MKW will just randomly decide not to cooperate.

anyway, have you tried just uninstalling and reinstalling?

never had an issue with .shn. Just wanted to try out FLAC to see what all the talk was about. Heard it was faster and compressed things better, but so far I am not impressed, but its most likely a PC problem.

I'm sure you've tried changing the compression levels, but I thought I'd throw that out there.

FLAC has optimized speed/compression around level 5 or 6

Are you absolutely, positively, 100% certain the FLAC/WAV files are valid, non-corrupt?  I know it's weird that it happens at different places/times in the file, but...I've seen stranger things happen.

Also, which installer are you using?  Have you tried the installer on Mike Wren's site?

What OS?

When you deleted and re-installed, did you manually delete the FLAC s/w files (most un-install utils don't un-install very well)?

well, .shn has no issues with these WAV's I am trying to make into FLAC files. Don't see how they could be corrupt. They play fine on discs, play fine off the HD, and where fresh DAT transfers. Win98 is the OS, did a manual uninstall. I went back to .shn, never had an issue.

Duh, sorry, I misread - thought you were trying to decode, not encode.  Which FLAC installer are you using?  I remember having trouble with a different installer (don't recall which one), but the one hosted on Mike Wre's site worked for me flawlessly.

What kind of PC do you have?  Is it overclocked?  Most problems like this with FLAC are due to hardware corruption issues.  SHN doesn't show these issues because it is much less robust in error checking when encoding.
