I've been testing WavPack using XRecode to convert a audio file and I'm getting different results.
This is the source file (wv):
source format: Microsoft RIFF with 'wav' extension
file wrapper: 80 + 16264 bytes (RIFF, _PMX)
If I convert it using WavPack frontend I get this:
source format: Microsoft RIFF with 'wav' extension
file wrapper: 80 + 16264 bytes (RIFF, _PMX)
Converting using XRecode and the wavpack executable downloaded from the official site:
source format: Microsoft RIFF with 'wav' extension
file wrapper: 44 byte RIFF header
Converting using XRecode and its dll:
source format: Microsoft RIFF with 'wav' extension
file wrapper: 80 byte RIFF header
What all the differences in the "file wrapper" mean? If I use the frontend I get the same as the source, but using any of the two options on XRecode I get different values. Does that value refers to the audio itself or its container?
I'm sorry if this is dumb but I don't know much about this, I only want to be sure I'm getting the same audio data as the source file.
