Dear all,
I have a wav file that when I try to encode with the FLAC Frontend, I get "ERROR: unsupported format type 3".
When I open it with an audio editor I find it is 44100 / 32 bit. I requantized it to 16 bit using the default dither and then compressed it with FLAC to get a 61 Mbyte file (the original was about 347 Mbyte). Obviously, this altered somewhat the quality, although in an indiscernible way (for me, at least).
However, as a last attempt, I used Winrar on the original file and to my surprise it was compacted to 79 Mb, only about 33% more than the FLAC version representing a file with half the data.
This is interesting since using non-audio compressors usually one seldom gets more than a 10% reduction.
Regards, Federico
