For just audio conversion, I would rather use the original software than ffmpeg. In regard to VBR: I would rather consider this as an inevitable consequence of entropy compression: More repetitive sections of the WAV (say a single note repeated several times) will be compressed more effectively than more complex parts of the WAV. Nothing to worry about.

I'm learning about ffmpeg because I can create .bat files and convert multiple files at once.

Re: [FFmpeg-user] Convert WAV to FLAC
I'm using the command below to convert from wav to flac: ffmpeg -i "input.wav" -af aformat=s16:44100 "output.flac" The bit-depth and sample_rate are ok, but is the command converting the audio from CBR to VBR. What should I add in the above command, or what command should I use for the audio to keep the CBR format in the FLAC output? Flac is by definition VBR, anything else would just be waste of space. It only just takes the amount of bytes needed for the specified compression level. This can be set between 1 and 12. All levels are lossless, the encoder just uses better and more computational expensive algorithms for encoding. With modern processors level 12 is relatively fast while in the early days of the standard (20 years ago) that level would exceed the playing time by several magnitudes. It did however not matter for decoding time. Default compression value in ffmpeg is 5 So for maximum lossless compression use ffmpeg -i "input.wav" -af aformat=s16:44100 -c:a flac -compression_level 12 "output.flac" ___ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
[FFmpeg-user] Convert WAV to FLAC
I'm using the command below to convert from wav to flac:
ffmpeg -i "input.wav" -af aformat=s16:44100 "output.flac"
The bit-depth and sample_rate are ok, but is the command converting the
audio from CBR to VBR.
What should I add in the above command, or what command should I use for
the audio to keep the
CBR format in the FLAC output?
See the conversion results below:
