Topic: 24/48 FLAC question

[sgordo]

I was tryin to make some 24/48 flac  files but the error it gives in 'unsupported compression' .  Any idea what causes this???

My first time trying to make 24 bit flacs...let me know if im doing something wrong.

thanks

weird i haven't had any problems like that.... make sure you've got the latest version of flac i guess.

Are you making them from 24/48 WAVs or some other audio format? I *think* they need to be WAV files.

they are .wav files, it flacs the identical 16 bit files, but wont work for the 2448s...I even tried using the multi-frontend to convert em to .ape (monkey's audio) and it wasnt feeling it either...

let's take a step back...give us the process you used to record them, convert, track, etc...maybe there's some weird anomaly in there that won't let them be converted.  as far as i know, all versions of flac support high bit/sample rates, but what version do you have?

Did you use CDWave 1.9 to do the split?  If so, that's the problem... upgrade to 1.92 and utilize the "old" wave format (not sure what they call it in 1.92 as I haven't upgraded,yet, but have seen the same thing you're seeing) to do the splits.

Check out the CDWave 24 bit FAQ for details on the diffs between the "old" wave format and the new Microsoft champion'ed one.

i ran into the same problem and the new version of cdwav fixed it
there is a check box that you have to click that says use alternative 24bit format and then you can encode to flac.
