[Flac] FLAC: 99% complete message?

[Brian Willoughby]

Hi Harry,

The command-line flac utility writes status lines to the terminal,  
typically overwriting the previous status.  However, when unexpected  
error messages appear, the usual output can be formatted  
incorrectly.  The expectation is that the final "Verify OK" line was  
supposed to erase the "99% complete" line, just as 99% erased the 98%  
line.  You can probably imagine that a carriage-return should have  
appeared in the middle of "0.67412 - "  This is nothing to worry  
about.  The final line saying "Verify OK" is the only one you should  
pay attention to, as it is the latest status.

Hi,

I tried to encode a WAV file to FLAC. But then I get a strange  
message: 99% complete. You can see the details below:


12 - In My Eyes (Radio Edit).wav: 99% complete, ratio=0,67412 - In My  
Eyes (Radi
o Edit).wav: WARNING: skipping unknown sub-chunk 'LIST'
12 - In My Eyes (Radio Edit).wav: Verify OK, wrote 25090527 bytes,  
ratio=0,670

I have encoded the file using 'flac -V --best' using the flac command  
line tool.

Can somebody explain me please what the 99% complete message means?  
Does this mean there were errors or what is the meaning of it? I can  
see the 'Verify OK' message but still flac tells me it's 99%  
complete. I don't understand what's happening here ...

thanks in advance!
