Re: Recommendations for ripping 16-bit and 24-bit to flac
http://24bit.turtleside.com/
Most anyone with a DVD player will be able to play it these days, it's really exciting! You need Audio DVD Creator ($40) to make an audio only DVD-Video disc playable on most DVD players. DVD-Video supports 16/48, 24/48, and 24/96 audio. And the free program DVD-Audiofile creates true DVD-Audio discs, playable on DVD-Audio/Video players. With DVD-Audio discs you can burn 16/44.1 all the way up to 24/192. This means I can put about 7 hours of 16/44.1 audio on one 4.7 GB DVD-A disc!! So instead of burning 6 CDs for two shows, I burn one DVD-A!! I love it. No members have liked this post.

Re: Recommendations for ripping 16-bit and 24-bit to flac
TLH protests at the 24-bit wav files, though....
Warning: file 'V CATSE .WAV' is not CD-quality Warning: file 'V LHKEEP.WAV' is not CD-quality Warning: Warning: file 'V SPHINX.WAV' is not CD-quality Error: could not fix files due to errors, see above No members have liked this post.

Maybe try encoding the 24 bit wavs to FLAC in FLAC Frontend (level 8, verify, SBE align, everything else unchecked).

Re: Recommendations for ripping 16-bit and 24-bit to flac
they are two different file types
you can not just rename a .aiff to .wav its a conversion process - I use quicktime pro. No members have liked this post.

Re: Recommendations for ripping 16-bit and 24-bit to flac
Perhaps someone should mention this to roann. It might not be too hard for him to make TLH accept aif files. xACT will accept both wav and aif to encoding and will decode to either also.
(I, like Five, have not read this whole thread but it looks like something I should!)

Thanks, people, for all the help! Now that I've got 3 .flac files, how do I generate a checksum file for them? TLH usually does that for me .... Regards, Graham No members have liked this post.

Re: Recommendations for ripping 16-bit and 24-bit to flac
there should be a 'fingerprint' button on flac frontend that can generate these fingerprints for you.

Re: Recommendations for ripping 16-bit and 24-bit to flac
hmm... I haven't posted a 24-bit FLAC show before, but I see scads of them on our tracker with ffp fingerprints posted someway
when you open the txt file using notepad it is blank? what is the filesize? if its over 0k can you attatch it here?

Re: Recommendations for ripping 16-bit and 24-bit to flac
OK, I got it - 'add' the flac files into FLAC frontend (not the .wav files) and click fingerprint............

Re: Recommendations for ripping 16-bit and 24-bit to flac
I guess the SBEs aren't so much of an issue with 24bit shows next time, you could cut the show in audacity using 'snap to cdda sectors' if you want the 24bit version to match better with the 16bit... that is, if you're planning on also creating a 16bit version

That's my torrent up at the audio torrents forum, if anyone fancies a listen at some vintage Van der Graaf ...

Re: Recommendations for ripping 16-bit and 24-bit to flac
Oh, crap.
Uploaded what I thought were 16 and 24-bit versions of my AC/DC, and it didn't occur to me to look at the file sizes generated by TLH in the 16-bit, and by FLAC frontend in the 24-bit - and, as someone pointed out just now, they're the same! Need to check, but looks like either Audacity or FLAC fronted have, whether of their own volition, or by my error, downsampled the 24-bit back to 16-bit.... Darn.

Re: Recommendations for ripping 16-bit and 24-bit to flac
Yeah I just checked the Van Der Graaf 10-24-77 download and it is 16 bit / 96 kHz. FLAC Frontend won't dither/truncate or downsample, so it must be Audacity. You must be exporting in 16 bit.
