Can't figure out how to encode with win32 app., :o Options

[Outlinear]

The manual is rather confusing to me. Please explain what to replace with adresses of tracks step by step. Thanks in advance.

In addition, when I type --help, it doesn't work...

Too little information to really understand what you're doing, anyway:

A) to encode a supported source file (virtually all PCM audio formats including 8, 16, 24, and 32-bit ints; 32-bit floats; mono, stereo, and multichannel; sampling rates from 6 to 192 kHz and non-standard rates) it's sufficient for you to simply type:"wavpack" then the source file name separated by a space and hit enter

B) if you'd like to play with different compression options and decoding speeds refer to the official Usage Guide here: http://www.wavpack.com/wavpack_doc.html#usage

C) wavpack --help gives you the following:

CODE

WAVPACK  Hybrid Lossless Audio Compressor  Win32 Version 4.60.1
Copyright (c) 1998 - 2009 Conifer Software.  All Rights Reserved.

Usage:
    WAVPACK [-options] [@]infile[.wav]|- [[@]outfile[.wv]|outpath|-]
      (default operation is lossless; infile may contain wildcards: ?,*)

Options:
    -a                      Adobe Audition (CoolEdit) mode for 32-bit floats
    -bn                     enable hybrid compression
                              n = 2.0 to 23.9 bits/sample, or
                              n = 24-9600 kbits/second (kbps)
                              add -c to create correction file (.wvc)
    --blocksize=n           specify block size in samples (max = 131072 and
                               min = 16 with --merge-blocks, otherwise 128)
    -c                      hybrid lossless mode (use with -b to create
                             correction file (.wvc) in hybrid mode)
    -cc                     maximum hybrid lossless compression (but degrades
                             decode speed and may result in lower quality)
    --channel-order=<list>  specify (comma separated) channel order if not
                             Microsoft standard (which is FL,FR,FC,LFE,BL,BR,
                             LC,FRC,BC,SL,SR,TC,TFL,TFC,TFR,TBL,TBC,TBR);
                             specify '...' to indicate that channels are not
                             assigned to specific speakers, or terminate list
                             with '...' to indicate that any channels beyond
                             those specified are unassigned
    -d                      delete source file if successful (use with caution!)

    -e                      create self-extracting executable with .exe
                             extension, requires wvself.exe in path
    -f                      fast mode (faster encode and decode, but some
                             compromise in compression ratio)
    -h                      high quality (better compression ratio, but slower
                             encode and decode than default mode)
    -hh                     very high quality (best compression, but slowest
                             and NOT recommended for portable hardware use)
    --help                  this extended help display
    -i                      ignore length in wav header (no pipe output allowed)

    -jn                     joint-stereo override (0 = left/right, 1 = mid/side)

    -l                      run at lower priority for smoother multitasking
    -m                      compute & store MD5 signature of raw audio data
    --merge-blocks          merge consecutive blocks with equal redundancy
                             (used with --blocksize option and is useful for
                             files generated by the lossyWAV program or
                             decoded HDCD files)
    -n                      calculate average and peak quantization noise
                             (for hybrid mode only, reference fullscale sine)
    --no-utf8-convert       don't recode passed tags from local encoding to
                             UTF-8, assume they are in UTF-8 already.
    --optimize-mono         optimization for stereo files that are really mono
                             (result may be incompatible with older decoders)
    -p                      practical float storage (also affects 32-bit
                             integers, no longer technically lossless)
    --pair-unassigned-chans encode unassigned channels into stereo pairs
    -q                      quiet (keep console output to a minimum)
    -r                      generate a new RIFF wav header (removes any
                             extra chunk info from existing header)
    --raw-pcm               input data is raw pcm (44100 Hz, 16-bit, 2-ch)
    --raw-pcm=sr,bps,ch     input data is raw pcm with specified sample rate,
                             sample bit depth, and number of channels
                             (specify 32f for 32-bit floating point data)
    -sn                     override default noise shaping where n is a float
                             value between -1.0 and 1.0; negative values move noise
                             lower in freq, positive values move noise higher
                             in freq, use '0' for no shaping (white noise)
    -t                      copy input file's time stamp to output file(s)
    --use-dns               force use of dynamic noise shaping (hybrid mode only)
    -w "Field=Value"        write specified text metadata to APEv2 tag
    -w "Field=@file.ext"    write specified text metadata from file to APEv2
                             tag, normally used for embedded cuesheets and logs
                             (field names "Cuesheet" and "Log")
    --write-binary-tag "Field=@file.ext"
                            write the specified binary metadata file to APEv2
                             tag, normally used for cover art with the specified

                             field name "Cover Art (Front)"
    -x[n]                   extra encode processing (optional n = 1 to 6, 1=default)
                             -x1 to -x3 to choose best of predefined filters
                             -x4 to -x6 to generate custom filters (very slow!)
    -y                      yes to all warnings (use with caution!)
