I'm interested in getting the maximum possible compression with FLAC, regardless of encode time. According to the documentation, a setting of up to -r 16 is possible. Yet anything over -r 8 results in an error code for me. Am I missing something?

Add --lax to your command line.
QUOTE The encoding parameters specified do not conform to the FLAC Subset and may not be streamable or playable in hardware devices. If you really understand the consequences, you can add --lax to the command-line options to encode with these parameters anyway. See http://flac.sourceforge.net/format.html#subset

Yet anything over -r 8 results in an error code for me. Am I missing something? Why waste the time to do this? Save a few KBytes on a disc? Last week I bought a 3 TB USB3 drive for $99. That's 3.3 CENTS per gigabyte. Each KByte you save will save you 3.3 MILLIONTHS of a penny. Given the way files are stored on the disc you may reap _zero_ savings - same number of clusters used. Obsessive compulsive behavior...... I'm just saying... |

QUOTE (dhromed @ Dec 1 2012, 15:55) Proof of concept for the inquisitive mind. Exactly. And, I'm limited to 32GB on my FLAC-enabled phone Thanks for the info. I didn't realize -r settings >8 required the --lax setting. I'll stick with 8 then. |
