Hello,<br><br>I'm attempting to convert fairly large WAV files (90 - 800 MB each) using flac but the files do not work after the encoding. (The play fine in wav format)<br><br>Command I'm using:<br><br>flac --verify -8 file.wav<br>
<br>Attempting to run the file with either flac123 or the default player for Ubuntu (Movie Player?) results in the extremely terse messages:<br>Default Player: "An Error Occurred: Could Not Decode Stream"<br>flac123: "error handler called!" <- repeated over and over and over<br>
<br>There are no errors during the encoding, though there are some warnings. Here is the output:<br><br>asdarq@eighty-desktop:~$ flac -f -8 --verify 10_A.wav<br><br>10_A.wav: WARNING: skipping unknown sub-chunk 'bext' (use --keep-foreign-metadata to keep)<br>

That resulted in the following output/error.<br>

I've never used a mailing list before... will I just receive any replies automatically back to this email? If I won't, I'd really appreciate it if someone directly emailed me (<a href="mailto:zasdarq@gmail.com">zasdarq@gmail.com</a>) to tell me how to check it.<br>
<br>Thank you again,<br>Matthew<br><br><br><br><br><br>
