Title: FLAC Error message
Post by: china_rider on June 27, 2006, 01:53:06 AM

Hey all... A friend gave me a show he recordied in .wav data files burned to a DVD.  I flacked them for archival but got the following for each track.  Anyone know what it means?

Nothing to worry about:

also, just to add, it's not just certain editing programs that will write "non-standard" .wav headers.  every file recorded on both the M-Audio Microtrack and also the Tascam HD-P2 have extra junk written in the file header.  those are the only two that I have direct experience with, but I'd be willing to guess that other hard-drive / flash recorders do similer things.

as Brian said, nothing to worry about.

This was recorded on a 722.

Thanks for the info.
