Problem encoding to FLAC

have a 24 bit 44100 wav file that I put in protools, performed minor eq, cut into tracks, PowR dither to 16 bit and bounced out as wav files (tracks).

When I try to encode to FLAC, it makes a FLAC file MUCH smaller than the wav file and give me errors stating- WARNING: skipping unknown sub-chunk 'ovwf'
and WARNING: skipping unknown sub-chunk 'umid'.

I can get a checksum or ffp file from these FLAC files.

When decoding the FLAC files back to wav, the files go back to the MUCH larger size of the original wav file as a wav file.

I have had the same results on macflac or traders little helper on a PC.

Is something wrong with the files? Am I doing something wrong? Can I upload these FLAC files?
