Error converting 20-Bit WAV to FLAC

[JoeBroesel]

Hi,
when I try to convert this file



to 24 bit FLAC or without changing the bit depth, but the bit rate to 48 kHz, or both, I get an error message and the FLAC-file has only about 100kBytes.

Not surprised, 20bit wave is such a freaky value. What created it?

Hi,
this DVD-Audio came with my Technics DVD-A2, from 1999:

Perhaps you should try using the FLAC frontend instead of dbpoweramp?

WHAT? Do you mean sample-rate and not bit-rate...bit rate is the number of bits per second where as 48khz identifies how many samples per second are being used.

it's likely flac can't handle 20-bit audio directly. You should resample with SSRC or some audio editor before trying to convert...plus you can make sure the conversion is done correctly.
