LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Yes. Try madflac for the flac files. http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=130498 For the ape ones you'll need the monkey audio one. http://www.monkeysaudio.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazer Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 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.

jeff_nz Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) Yes. Try madflac for the flac files. http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=130498 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).

jeff_nz Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazer Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamHain86 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 @ 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?
