Hi,<br><br>I'm using the FLAC command line tool to encode my WAV files in some directory to FLAC files.<br>Now I noticed sometimes the output of the tool is mostly like this:<br><br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">

... </span><br style="font-weight: bold;"><br>I was wondering why the output of the command line tool FLAC sometimes prints the same line again and again and sometimes it does not? What is the reason for this?<br>I wanted to let the tool encode a whole directory of files and afterwards manually check the "verify OK" status for each file.
<br>But however, when the tool floods the whole screen on some files (like the example above), in Microsoft Windows you can't scroll to the beginning of the output anymore in a command prompt window so you can't see the output of previous files.
<br>Maybe somebody has a solution for this? I don't want to use cygwin.<br><br>I also tried this statement to write the output to a file:<br><br>for %1 in (*.wav) do flac -V --best "%1" > output.txt<br><br>
but it seems this doesn't work and the file output.txt stays empty :(<br><br>thanks in advance!<br>
