The first (and hopefully only) beta for FLAC 1.1.3 is ready. Usually I don't do betas but there are a lot of new things. See the changelog.
One thing that I'm pretty sure will come up is how flac handles legacy WAVEFORMATEX files with odd bit depths (WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE should work fine) and multi-channel files. if you have WAVE or AIFF files that flac refuses, let me know here so I can zero in on how to handle the wierd ones. Any other feedback is also welcome. You can get the source tarball, or binaries for windows: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/flac/fl...tar.gz?download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/flac/fl...in.zip?download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/flac/fl...in.zip?download (or) http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=13478 MD5's: CODE 2f305538a17e35d8153a34423c508dbf flac-1.1.3-beta1-devel-win.zip

Great work, very cool!
QUOTE (changelog) WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE channel mask is also saved to a tag on encoding and restored on decoding for situations when there is no natural mapping to FLAC channel assignments. What is the tag name/format? (I couldn't find it in the new documentation.) QUOTE (options - apodization) The encoder chooses suitable defaults in the absence of any -A options; any -A option specified replaces the default(s). How does it choose? Is it always tukey(0.5)?

How does it choose? Is it always tukey(0.5)? right now, yes but it may get smarter.QUOTE (Synthetic Soul @ Oct 10 2006, 13:08) Have you given up on the idea of -9 Josh? no, just saving it for something good (which I haven't come up with yet) QUOTE (haregoo @ Oct 10 2006, 13:23) 1.1.3b1 consumes more bits especially on short sample(less than 30sec) than 1.1.2. I always use default setting(-5). Is this because of redundant data for recovery? no, there's no redundant data, the only thing that should cause that is the new default padding size of 8k (was 4k in 1.1.2). is the difference more than that? you can always change the amount of padding with -P Josh P.S. the other thing that I would like to know is how good the --picture option is at automatically extracting the correct resolution/color info from gif/jpg/png files. if it chokes or gets it wrong, send me the file and I'll try to improve the detection code.
