Title: What the FLAC?!?!
Post by: Simp-Dawg on June 15, 2004, 11:50:56 PM
so, i've been having some problems lately with flac, on both my machines (homebrew pc - amd k6-2 500mhz, 512mb ram, gobs of hard drive space) and (sony vaio pcg fxa32 - 900 mhz duron, 128mb ram, 40gb).
on the pc it crashes and blue screens...
on the laptop it freezes or reboots...
 :'(
what's happening here?
i have it set on level 6, delete input files, same to same directory. ???

Ever have FLAC encode your perfectly-sounding WAVs as all static? I recently had to transfer a couple recordings from my rig to my edit machine across the network as WAV rather than FLAC because they were garbage on the opposite end...

i have had no real problems w/ flac, only time its even done anything remotely weird was when the HD was full :(

ummm, try a diff version or reinstall, should do the trick, and "delet input file" is SOO easy
