WV to FLAC conversion

[Timothy]

Some files fail to convert to FLAC; others are ok. Error message when adding unconvertible file:"The specified file is not supported! Either because it is broken or not an audio file." Not certain why some files convert perfectly and others do not.

The WV files are, for example:

Audio
Format : WavPack
Format profile : 4.16
Duration : 3 min 1 s
Bit rate mode : Variable
Bit rate : 6 454 kb/s
Channel(s) : 2 channels
Sampling rate : 192 kHz
Bit depth : 32 bits
Compression mode : Lossless
Compression ratio : 1.904
Stream size : 140 MiB (100%)
Encoding settings : -h -hh

Not reproduced here. Are the unconvertible files playable using Totem?

[Timothy (ektalure)]

The original files are 192kHz 32 bit audio files that play fine in VLC.

The converted files (sadly, not all the files) are 192kHz 24 bit that play fine in VLC as well.

Would you like for me to upload a WV file that doesn't convert?

[GautierPortet (kassoulet)]

Yes please, upload one unconvertable file so we can help you.

I uploaded a WV file that Sound Converter did not recognize to:

I was able to convert to WAV and FLAC using Audacity.

I can read and convert the uploaded file to mp3, vorbis and wav...

Which format are you converting to ?

[Timothy (ektalure)]

 I tried to convert to WAV and FLAC.
I am unable to load the file for any conversion whatever.
I am using version 4.0.3.
