Incorrect audio FILE-DECODED-SIZE

Hello,

 

I was recently testing ImgBurn with different audio file types. I noticed that the FILE-DECODED-SIZE is incorrect for m4a and mp3 files, and it differs depending on the DirectShow filter used. First, using DSP Worx for FLAC, m4a, and ogg, only FLAC and ogg have the correct length of 04:02:47. M4a is 04:02:51 and mp3 is 04:02:53:

Next, using madFLAC for FLAC, Orban for m4a, and no ogg. Now m4a and mp3 are both incorrect at 04:02:53 instead of the correct 04:02:47 for the other file types.

Not sure if the incorrect sizes are an ImgBurn bug, or a limitation of the DirectShow filters or the audio format itself. Whatever the case, the FILE-DECODED-SIZEs are wrong.

 

PC is Windows 7, 32 bit, fully updated, ImgBurn 2.5.5.0.

 

Thanks for your time.

It represents the exact amount of data that comes out of the directshow filter - and therefore nothing to do with ImgBurn.

 

Lossless formats should decode to the same length as the original (fingers crossed anyway!), other formats could vary depending on the implementation within the DS filter.

Fair enough. Any suggestions as to DS filters which give correct lengths for mp3 or m4a? So far, Orban and DSP Worx have failed for m4a and whatever Windows 7 uses has failed for mp3.
