LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 If they've been converted to flac files, you'll need to update the CUE file so it points to flac files and not the original wav files. Just do a find/replace on .wav" with .flac"
peter tron Posted September 12, 2013 Author Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) i tried that, it doesn't work. still "file doesn't exist" FILE "01 - In Sharky Water.wav" WAVE to this: FILE "01 - In Sharky Water.flac" WAVE i did this to the rest i also tried: FILE "01 - In Sharky Water.flac" FLAC ---------------------------ImgBurn---------------------------FILE Doesn't Exist!File Name: 01 - In Sharky Water.flac---------------------------OK --------------------------- still nothing. Edited September 12, 2013 by peter tron
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Do the files exist in the same folder as the CUE? Are they still called those names? (don't forget to make Explorer show file extensions if it isn't already doing so - you may end up with 'xxxx.wav.flac' or 'xxx.flac.wav' as a name otherwise). It should be quite easy to work out why it's not working when you have everything there infront of you.
peter tron Posted September 12, 2013 Author Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) cheer for getting back so quick! yep, the files are in the same folder location as the .cue. file extensions were disabled. i turned them on, still no go. i get this: ---------------------------ImgBurn---------------------------FILE Doesn't Exist!File Name: 01 - In Shark---------------------------OK --------------------------- the track as it appears in the folder: 01.In Sharky Water.flac this is the .cue file as it looks after i tried replace in notepad: REM DISCID 6307D408REM COMMENT "ExactAudioCopy v0.95b4"PERFORMER "Disco Inferno"TITLE "DI Go Pop"FILE "01 - In Sharky Water.flac" TRACK 01 AUDIO TITLE "In Sharky Water" PERFORMER "Disco Inferno" INDEX 01 00:00:00FILE "02 - New Clothes for the New World.flac" TRACK 02 AUDIO TITLE "New Clothes for the New World" PERFORMER "Disco Inferno" INDEX 01 00:00:00 TRACK 03 AUDIO TITLE "Starbound: All burnt out & Nowhere to go" PERFORMER "Disco Inferno" INDEX 00 01:58:62FILE "03 - Starbound- All burnt out & Nowhere to go.flac" INDEX 01 00:00:00FILE "04 - A Crash at Every Speed.flac" TRACK 04 AUDIO TITLE "A Crash at Every Speed" PERFORMER "Disco Inferno" INDEX 01 00:00:00 TRACK 05 AUDIO TITLE "Even the Sea Sides Against Us" PERFORMER "Disco Inferno" INDEX 00 04:38:60FILE "05 - Even the Sea Sides Against Us.flac" INDEX 01 00:00:00FILE "06 - Next Year.flac" TRACK 06 AUDIO TITLE "Next Year" PERFORMER "Disco Inferno" INDEX 01 00:00:00 TRACK 07 AUDIO TITLE "A Whole Wide World Ahead" PERFORMER "Disco Inferno" INDEX 00 04:03:12FILE "07 - A Whole Wide World Ahead.flac" INDEX 01 00:00:00FILE "08 - Footprints in Snow.flac" TRACK 08 AUDIO TITLE "Footprints in Snow" PERFORMER "Disco Inferno" INDEX 01 00:00:00 Edited September 12, 2013 by peter tron
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 So the file is called '01.In Sharky Water.flac' but the CUE says it's '01 - In Sharky Water.flac' ? The names must match exactly. Can you get a screenshot of the folder in explorer for me please? Use 'Details' view and try to make sure the name column shows the complete filenames. Upload the actual CUE too please.
peter tron Posted September 12, 2013 Author Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) i was just thinking the same thing that very minute! the . and the - are conflicting. unfortunately i cannot take a screenshot of the window with the files in it, (alt-prtsc). i was was informed "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community." is there another way? all the tracks are listed like the first: 01. not 02 - i attempted editing the cue file by globally removing the - and replacing with . to match up with the tracks in the folder. still no go. i tried the reverse. i edited the tracks in the folder and replaced the . with - i received this msg: ---------------------------ImgBurn---------------------------ConnectFilters(Source, Sample Grabber) Failed!File Name: C:\Users\peter tron\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\Secret Shine\All Of The Stars\01 - Voice Of The Sea.flacReason: No combination of intermediate filters could be found to make the connection.Hint: You may need to install some additional DirectShow filters in order to support files of this type or the file might be corrupt.---------------------------OK --------------------------- i downloaded DSFP-5.1 from www.free-codecs.com i scanned it and no threats were found. was that a decent enough source, or is there a better place to grab them? i extracted it to my programs files directory. ran the DSFP_inst.bat nothing. restarted the computer. tried again. still nothing uninstalled previous pack. installed DC-Bass Source Filter http://dsp-worx.de/?n=15 received this msg: ---------------------------ImgBurn.exe - Unable To Locate Component---------------------------This application has failed to start because OptimFROG.dll was not found.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Install the madflac directshow filter. It's linked at the bottom of the audio cd guide in the guides forum.
peter tron Posted September 12, 2013 Author Posted September 12, 2013 i downloaded it. tried to install it. the readme says "Start "install.bat" done that msg says "---------------------------Information...---------------------------The DirectShow filter "madFlac.ax" was registered successfully.---------------------------OK --------------------------- i assume next i try to run the InstallFilter.exe when i do, i get this: ---------------------------Information...---------------------------Call me like this:InstallFilter [-u] filter.ax---------------------------OK --------------------------- i have no idea what that could mean. opened imgburn loaded the cue it seemed to work! burning now i was led to believe thar cue files can erase the issue that can sometimes arise when gapless files are burned to disc. would this be correct? one last thing (apart from my genuine gratitude!): what made you suggest madflac over the other direectshow packs i used? baz
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Install.bat calls installfilter.exe with the madflac.ax file as the parameter I've personally tried and tested madFlac. It was one of the only flac filters that would decode a flac file and give me a wav file that 100% matched the original wav file.
peter tron Posted September 13, 2013 Author Posted September 13, 2013 before i get to bed (i'm tired). could i wrap this up by asking you something slightly off-topic? can you recommend a freeware application that easilt converts .mkv / .flv to .avi? i was looking, but when you're tired you tend to not digest information from these google searches too well cheers, baz
