Determining source of Flac error

Its been awhile since I have had any errors in Flac. I cannot remember where to find the error log so i can determine what is causing my errorwhen I am encoding.

ERROR: Can't Open Input File 5

Thanks

If you're using the flac frontend app, it's known to choke on 'special' characters in the filename that wouldn't bother the commandline .exe or other encoding frontends.

I figured it out and it turned out to be in the additional command line I use in EAC.

Yes, I had exactly this experience. I couldn't figure out why FLAC was choking on a couple of my WAVs. When I removed the apostrophe from each file name, they were processed with no problem.
