Hi all,

Thanks for a great forum - learned much here, as an amateur. I'm wondering about two things.

1. If cpu power is considered: will it take more cpu power to decode flac (5) than cbr 256 or vbr 200?

2. Which of the lossless codecs is better on error correction: scratches on cdr or aging-process-error etc?

Sorry for my perhaps not-so-good-english

What format are you talking about VBR/CBR? MP3?



Flac can skip errors, but it can't correct them.

If you want to correct errors, your should use PAR files.

sorry , mean mp3

Both FLAC and MP3 would take very few processing power. Dunno which one wins, but it seems to me they are pretty close.

Thanks!
