[Flac] 1.43 GB FLAC with 8-Hour Audio Inside... Decoding?

[Nathan Hevenstone]

Audacity results:

It actually did save the file correctly, and the extracted WAV itself is
5.14 GBs!  Problem is, Windows Media Player says the track is only 1 hour
and 47 minutes long, which is incorrect (as I said before, it's an 8-hour
track, meant for 8-hours of sleep)...

So I played it in Quicktime, iTunes, and Nero Player just to be sure.  Both
QuickTime and iTunes only played 1 hour and 47 minutes.  Nero, on the other
hand, only showed 1 hour and 47 minutes, but when it got to the end of that,
it kept playing.

I am so confused, and I really need help.  How do I decode this extra-large
FLAC file correctly so I can burn this series to a DVD-9 and be done with
it?
