How do I create Ogg-FLAC using foobar2000?

2011-09-10 15:03:29

I have been searching a way to do this using the Foobar custom convert presets Command line, codec venc.exe and could not get this to work.

I found this at http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?ti...:Custom_presets

    %d – will be replaced by the desired output file name
    %r – will be replaced by a random number; used together with oggenc
    %s – will be replaced by the filename of a temporary created input wav-file

The default ogg command line code:

-s  %r --ignorelength -Q -q7.000000 - -o %d

The source file is flac and would like to convert to Ogg-Flac.

Any help would be welcome.

Not possible. venc is Vorbis encoder.
And why do you want ogg-flac anyway?

Or you want OGG Vorbis, not OGG FLAC?

I thought it was possible, guess I was wrong. Well I would like to see how ogg x ogg-flac differs about size and other attributes, same file as head to head comparison.

So how can I place FLAC files into an OGG container?

Thanks for your time and reply.

You can reencode your FLAC, TAK, Wavpack,... files to OGG FLAC:

Encoder: flac.exe
Extension: oga
Parameters: -s --ignore-chunk-sizes --ogg -6 - -o %d
