Keep a few things in mind:

  • - As far as I know, only three of the lossless encoders out there (Bonk, flac and Kexis) are truly free (source code for Shorten is available but the license is more restrictive). Most others give out free binaries, but without access to the source, you are leaving your data to the whim of the maintainer for eternity; you have no way to port the program to another OS or fix it if it breaks. This can be a serious drawback unless the format has world-class clout (like MP3). + As far as I know, only three of the lossless encoders out there (Bonk, flac and Kexis) are truly free (source code for Shorten and Monkey's Audio is available but the licenses are more restrictive).

  • Since FLAC supports streaming, it is at a slight disadvantage to the formats that don't because they don't have the extra overhead of all those frame headers. @@ -507,13 +507,12 @@ The first table is a summary of results on all input tracks. The remaining tables show the results of the encoders on each track. The summary table has more modes, whereas the individual tables have just the interesting ones.

    - In the summary table, entries are sorted by weighted compression ratio, which is the average of the ratios for each track; this keeps long tracks from having more influence than short ones. In the individual tables, this is the same as the straight compression ratio, which is compressed size / uncompressed size. + In the summary table, entries are sorted by average compression ratio, which is the average of the ratios for each track; this keeps long tracks from having more influence than short ones. In the individual tables, this is the same as the straight compression ratio, which is compressed size / uncompressed size.

    Some interesting things to note:

    • flac -5 is right in the middle with respect to compression, relatively fast on the encoding range, and one of the fastest decoding. This is about what you would expect; FLAC is designed to put most of the processing on the encoding side, which is only done once, whereas the adaptive codecs take as long to decode as encode. FLAC is more suited in this way for playback on low-power devices and is one of the reasons it is the only lossless codec with any kind of hardware support.
      • -
    • Uniformity between unweighted and weighted ratio means the codec performs the same across genres.
    • LPAC quality settings are not too stable with -r (which allows seeking during playback) turned on.
    • RKAU also has a tendency to get bigger in the 'high' mode.
    • Another ironic fact is that the encoders that are patented or cost money turn out to be the worst by most measures. SPS is so archane and crippled that I gave up trying to put together results for it after one track.

    - For programs that write their own APPLICATION metadata, it is advantageous to instruct the encoder to write a PADDING block of the correct size, so that instead of rewriting the whole stream after encoding, the program can just overwrite the PADDING block.

If only the maximum size of the metadata is known, the program can write a slightly larger padding block, then split it after encoding.

    - In the case where the size of the APPLICATION block data is known ahead of time, the required size of the padding block can be easily calculated. If the APPLICATION block data length in bytes (not including the APPLICATION metadata block header) is N bytes, the size given to the FLAC__StreamEncoder instance before initialization is simply N+4. This accounts for the extra space needed to store the APPLICATION ID. + Make sure you understand how lengths are calculated. All FLAC metadata blocks have a 4 byte header which contains the type and length. This length does not include the 4 bytes of the header. See the format page for the specification of metadata blocks and their lengths.
