Yes.

 

Try madflac for the flac files.

For the ape ones you'll need the monkey audio one.

ok so you need a external codec for a non mp3 file eg flac, ogg ,ape. but this is not in the guide and will this be ok for the portable version thanks

The entire thing relies on DirectShow / ACM.

 

If the filters required are already installed then it works fine, if they aren't then you need to install them.

 

The MP3 one is installed as part of the base OS install, that's why those files work without extra filters/codecs.

ok understand now please do you recomend a codec pack or individual codeks for ape, wav, flac. and ogg what do you recomend als i have some audio cue file and one large flac file with the right codec can imagburn seperate these into seperate wave files i can do this with nero but imageburn seems the way to go with thanks baz

[LIGHTNING UK!]

Personally I'd just (and do) install the individual codecs I need - i.e. the ones I linked you to earlier.

 

Yes ImgBurn will handle your CUE+FLAC file just fine once DirectShow can handle Flac files.

 

In fact, you can actually embed the CUE inside the FLAC's metadata and ImgBurn can burn those too - you just have to feed the FLAC file to Write mode.

Yes.

Did you ever solve the problem mentioned in that thread of files decoded with madflac were not identical to the originals or is the DC-Bass Source filter still the only one that give bit identical results with ImgBurn? I only ask because as of your last post in that thread it appears to be unresolved (though I can't imagine you'd be recommending it now if that's still the case).

Hmm... I think I can answer my own question.

 

I just ran a quick test using madflac and the burnt files were identical to the originals. It wasn't a very extensive test, I only used 3 tracks but I guess it's still conclusive?

[LIGHTNING UK!]

That issue was solved a few versions back.

[bazer]

do you recomend the free codecs DirectShow FilterPack 3.2 pack it seems to have audio file most types coverd has any used this and are the results good cheers bazer

Good to know, thanks!

I think you'd be better to follow LIGHTNING UK!'s advice above and only install the codecs/filters you need, as you need them, rather than using a shotgun type approach.... but that's just me.

DC-Bass Source Filter is a another filter avaliable this does wv.flac and ape will this be ok you just have too run the install .bat so there is no need to install a complete program have people found this a reliable option cheers bazer

@ LIGHTNING UK!:

 

Might we ever see a version of ImgBurn that can independently decode FLAC (or WavPack, OGG, etc) for burning audio CDs or even an interface that prompts for the decoders for these files?

[LIGHTNING UK!]

Nope
