wavpack - encode wav files to wavpackSYNOPSIS¶
wavpack
[ -options] INFILE...
[-o OUTFILE]
DESCRIPTION¶
OPTIONS¶
-aAdobe Audition (CoolEdit) mode for 32-bit
floats
-bn
enable hybrid compression, n = 2.0 to
23.9 bits/sample, or n = 24-9600 kbits/second (kbps)
--blocksize=n
specify block size in samples (max = 131072
and min = 16 with --merge-blocks, otherwise 128)
-c
create correction file (.wvc) for hybrid mode
(results in 2-file lossless compression)
-cc
maximum hybrid compression (hurts lossy
quality & decode speed)
--channel-order=list
specify (comma separated) channel order if not
Microsoft standard (which is
FL,FR,FC,LFE,BL,BR,LC,FRC,BC,SL,SR,TC,TFL,TFC,TFR,TBL,TBC,TBR); specify
“...” to indicate that channels are not assigned to specific
speakers, or terminate list with “...” to indicate that any
channels beyond those specified are unassigned
-d
delete source file if successful (use with
caution!)
-f
fast mode (fast, but some compromise in
compression ratio)
-h
high quality (better compression ratio, but
slower encode and decode than default mode)
-hh
very high quality (best compression, but
slowest and NOT recommended for use on portable playback devices)
--help
display extended help
-i
ignore length in wav header (no pipe output
allowed)
-jn
joint-stereo override (0 = left/right, 1 =
mid/side)
-m
compute & store MD5 signature of raw audio
data
--merge-blocks
merge consecutive blocks with equal redundancy
(used with --blocksize option and is useful for files generated by the
lossyWAV program or decoded HDCD files)
-n
calculate average and peak quantization noise
(hybrid only, reference fullscale sine)
--no-utf8-convert
don´t recode passed tags from local
encoding to UTF-8, assume they are in UTF-8 already
--pair-unassigned-chans
encode unassigned channels into stereo
pairs
-p
practical float storage (also 32-bit ints, not
lossless)
-q
quiet (keep console output to a minimum)
-r
generate a new RIFF WAV header (any extra RIFF
info in original file will be discarded)
--raw-pcm
intput data is raw pcm (44,100 Hz, 16-bit,
2-channels)
--raw-pcm=sr,bits,chans
intput data is raw pcm with specified
sample-rate, bit-depth, and number of channels (specify 32f for 32-bit
floating point data)
-sn
override default hybrid mode noise shaping
where n is a float value between -1.0 and 1.0; negative values move noise
lower in freq, positive values move noise higher in freq, use 0 for no shaping
(white noise)
-t
copy input file´s time stamp to output
file(s)
--use-dns
force use of dynamic noise shaping (hybrid
mode only)
-w “Field=Value”
write specified text metadata to APEv2
tag
-w “Field=@file.ext”
write specified text metadata from file to
APEv2 tag, normally used for embedded cuesheets and logs (field names
“Cuesheet” and “Log”)
--write-binary-tag “Field=@file.ext”
write the specified binary metadata file to
APEv2 tag, normally used for cover art with the specified field name
“Cover Art (Front)”
-x[n]
extra encode processing (optional n = 1 to 6,
1=default), -x1 to -x3 to choose best of predefined filters, -x4 to -x6 to
generate custom filters (very slow!)
-y
yes to all warnings (use with caution!)
