hybrid coding mode Options

[Pixar]

Hello all =)
I tested a hybrid coding mode (the best-miqhhb5) ...
I was delighted with the highest quality.
Programs designed for the detection of differences in sound do not detect a difference lossy and lossless.

What removes from the sound?
I did not find any similarity with other lossy codecs))
How have you achieved such excellent results?

Degradation does not occur))
With your codec I do not need lossless (only to spend too much space) ...
Optimum price / quality ratio.

I have a question.
How do I glue together multiple files into one (without transcoding)?
Analogue to Ogg Vorbis
copy / b 1.ogg + 2.ogg + 3.ogg = image.ogg
In WavPack is not working.

Thank you for your work bryant.
WavPack brilliant creation of genius

You can concatenate WavPack files like you describe, but the only way to decode the result is to use the -b flag with wvunpack (“blind” decoding). I have done this to combine tracks, but you really need to transcode to make the result playable, seekable, etc. Of course, lossless transcoding is not a problem (and it works great with pipes), but I would not do it with hybrid.

One of the things I would like to create is a WavPack file “fixer” that will modify the headers of files like these in place (without transcoding) because there are other situations where these files can occur, but I haven’t gotten around to it.

That'd be awesome, count me among the very very interested in that, clearly after you're done merging all the executables into a single one ...
