How do I use CLI w/FLAC.exe?

[jamesbaud]

I'm a longtime CDex user considering making the switch to dbPowerAmp. I've been w/CDex due to its ease of use and CDparanoia. But after reading a bit on HydrogenAudio about Accurate Rip and its amazing speed, I downloaded it to give it a 30-day trial.

I figured out how to use DMC's CLI w/LAME.exe, no problem.

I have a lot of Nero Image files I'd like to get rid of by mounting them and converting them to FLACs.

I know that DMC has a FLAC encoder, but I'd prefer to use the executable from Sourceforge, just as I use the LAME executable from Rarewares.

Can anyone provide a sample working command line argument?

I know that in LAME, for example, my (purposely simple) command line is:

[InFile] [OutFile] -V 7 --vbr-new

How about in FLAC? I've searched the HydrogenAudio and dbPowerAmp forums, and I've reviewed the FLAC documentation on FLAC's website, but I just don't get it.

Is it something like this (as a purposely simple example)?:

-V -5 [InFile] [OutFile]

Any help would be appreciated.

I tried these variations, without success:

-V -5 [InFile] [OutFile]

[InFile] [OutFile] -V -5

[InputFile] [Output File] -V -5

-V -5 [InFile] [OutFile]

The same as above, but without the -V, and also without the -5.

Then I looked up the command lines for setting up EAC and FLAC, thinking that they may be analogous, from here:

http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=EAC_and_Flac

-T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%n" -T "genre=%m" %s

-T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%n" -T "genre=%m" -5 %s

Any ideas?
