XRECODE

Merging wav-files into one leads to mistake in appropriate cue-file (see picture 1). I use following settings (see picture 2).

This folder "lessmsi" in portable version 1.105 is not obligatory for correct work of the program, isn't it?

I don't know also.
One more attempt today: DTS HD Master Audio file 96-24-5.0 (duration 01min 18,190) direct convert to mp3 320 CBR joint stereo gives output file with duration 01 min 18,960.

Maybe that's correct for backward encoding. But I tried one more file PCM 96KHz-24bit-5.1 → MP3 48KHz-8bit-2.0 (joint stereo) to encode. The result is the same - different duration (see picture). The difference is hundredths of a second, but still. It might be audible for piano recordings and visibl...

It looks fine with other input files, but... Please, check the duration of input and output files. I can't estimate the difference by ear, but MediaInfo gives different values for input and output files, see picture.

So far encoding from *.dts and *.wav shows correct playback speed. Tomorrow I'll try with 4.0 and 5.0 tracks and report results.

Required information has been sent.

Direct encoding any multichannel source (*.pcm, *.dts) to stereo/joint stereo *.mp3 results in increasing playback speed. Looks like three times faster in case of 5.1 channels to stereo. Older versions and the current one.

The program, downloaded on that way, works fine.
Solved.

No.
Global settings - Check updates on startup - Check for beta versions. So I get the file downloaded.
