FOOBAR + FFMPEG > WAVPACK + MKA

Hello guys,

I have a very special wish and I think it can only be resolved by pros. I want to use foobar and ffmpeg cmd encoder to create Wavpack Files, which are saved inside of matroska audio containers. I especially want to create image files (one file with chapters, tags etc.; I dont know if this combination is smart enough to detect if I want to encode into one file or into an image). Wavpack must have best possible compression, like the original cmd encoder.

So how can I achieve that?

If I understand you correctly, create an encoder preset for ffmpeg.exe, make it "lossless or hybrid" with highest supported bitdepth "32". Specify mka as the output extension and a command line such as the one below. You can use the output bitdepth option in the converter set up to control the output bitdepth (auto, 16-bit, 24-bit etc)

-i - -ignore_length true -c:a wavpack -compression_level 4 %d

To encode multiple files as a single multitrack file, select "generate multitrack files" under the converter configuration "Destination" section. fb2k will save a single MKA with a seperate cuesheet file. I'm not sure if there's a way to embed it into the mka itself as fb2k would do for .wv or .flac.

I already tried something simiIar, but I dont want CUE files, they are to limited. MKA has some kind of own thing instead and I want to activate it.
