[Flac-dev] compression

hi can we expect much better compression (like the step to v. 1.2.x) in future versions of the flac encoder or are we at maximum compression level now? thx ___ Flac-dev mailing list Flac-dev@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev

[Flac] compression level

hi I was wondering how many difference in % of cpu load (on same cpu) exists between compression level 1 and 8 while decoding. Also same question for encoding. Is the difference in % of cpu load while decoding/encoding the reason different compression levels were created or another reason? thx

[flac] decoding with -F

hi flac list, I read on the site about the decoding -F (or --decode-through-errors) feature: ' By default flac stops decoding with an error and removes the partially decoded file if it encounters a bitstream error. With -F, errors are still printed but flac will continue decoding to completion.

hi flac developers, A user here gave me a link to an amazing win32 frontend for flac (and also other encoders): Trader's Little Helper (http://thor.prohosting.com/roh0205/ ) Maybe this frontend can be added to the win32 flac installer instead of flac frontend? I see many good reasons for this:
