FLAC to WAV Conversion cuts off end of songs

[GravyBoat]

When I convert some FLAC files to WAV file using the right click "convert to" option, dBPowerAmp cuts off the end of the song. The FLAC file plays correctly in Windows Media Player.

Any ideas as to what my problem might be?

Thanks!

Using a DSP effect? such as trim.

I also got that problem, no matter what type I convert to it cuts about 0.08 seconds.

Re: FLAC to WAV Conversion cuts off end of songs

I tried to get a 1s wav file to flac (2 versions, 1.1.4.0 and 1.2.0.0 beta) and back again as close to 1s as possible.

1s wav to flac = 1sec (OK)
that flac back to wav = 0.940s (loss of data!)

1s wav to mp3 (lame) = 1s (OK)
that mp3 back to wav = 0.993s (mp3 is lossy so this is ok?)
that mp3 to flac = 0.992s (mp3 is lossy so this is ok?)
that flac back to wav = 0.940s (loss of lenght!)

1s wav to wma (lossless) = 0.998s (Any type of length compression?)
that wma (lossless) back to wav = 1s (OK)
that wma (lossless) to flac = 1s (OK)
that flac back to wav = 0.940s (loss of data!)

Why is it not possible to get the flac to 1s wav file again?

Re: FLAC to WAV Conversion cuts off end of songs

I found the problem. I converted on my desktop that is running Vista Ultimate x64. Now i did the same as above converted wav to flac and back to wav again on my laptop running windows xp. The wav to flac conversion was done on my desktop computer and the flac to wav on both.

Original file (Wave) that was converted to flac on the desktop computer running vista ultimate x64, the file was ripped from a cd using Windows Media Player 11:
24 696 274 bytes.
2 minutes and 20 seconds.

Desktop result (Flac to Wave) Vista Ultimate x64 (Core 2 Duo E6300, Conroe):
24 551 468 bytes. (Loss of audio data) :thumbdown
2 minutes and 19 seconds. :thumbdown

Laptop result (Flac to Wave) Windows XP (Pentium M 1,7Ghz, Dothan):
24 696 044 bytes. (All audio data is the same as the original as i can see but fewer bytes then the original (more optimized header?)
2 minutes and 20 seconds.

Latest beta codec was used and latest version of dbpoweramp and all windows updates.

I hope this information will help you.
