I'm running r12.2 on a Win XP Home SP2, 2.6 GHz Celeron, 512 MB RAM, with ZoneAlarm Security Suite. If I temporarily block all Internet activity and anti-virus updates (an option provided by ZoneAlarm) is it safe to run a batch-conversion of about 80 GB of WAV files to FLAC all in one go (for example, overnight) with the DSP option of deleting destination files if there are errors? In other words, all other variables constant, if I do the 80-GB conversion in one session are the chances of errors in destination files greater than if do the conversion in, for example, four 20-GB sessions, or eight 10-GB sessions? Or does it not matter whether or not I break up the mass to be converted into sessions of small chunks?

Re: batch-converting strategy
Zonealarm and internet traffic should make no difference.
As you are not deleting the source files, you can convert all in one go. -
Re: batch-converting strategy
What if I also enable the option to delete the source files? Ideally, I'd like to be able to replace all 80GB of WAVs with FLACs and maintain the folder structure? Will it then not be as safe to convert all 80GB in one go?Comment

Re: batch-converting strategy
Personally I would keep the source files until after the conversion.Comment
