CLI Encoder always decodes source?
I have many mp3 files that are causing Spotlight in OSX to crash when it attempts to index them. I have found that if I re-write the mp3 files without re-encoding them using ffmpeg (under Windows):
ffmpeg.exe -i infile.mp3 -acodec outfile.mp3
Then Spotlight in OSX no longer crashes on that file. I wanted to use dMC CLI Encoder to run that command on all the files, but it seems that the CLI Encoder will decode the source to a wav file, then pass the wav to the specified CLI Encoder.
Is there any way to tell the CLI Encoder to just pass the original un-decoded mp3 file along?
Or is there another way dMC can re-write those mp3 files without re-encoding them, like that ffmpeg command does? These files are fairly low-quality to begin with, and I just can't re-encode them.
