Hello guys.
I'm in need of help right now.
Last night I recorded a show using qtractor.
I recorded it as two files, the first one is for the first hour, and
second file is for the rest, about 4 hours.
The first file can be played successfully, but the second file does
not. It would only play until about 20 minutes, and stop.
This is the output of soxi
shani@shanihplaptop ~/Projects/GME/2010 % soxi 6.wav
soxi WARN wav: wave header missing FmtExt chunk
Input File : '6.wav'
Channels : 2
Sample Rate : 48000
Precision : 24-bit
Duration : 00:20:50.04 = 60001717 samples ~ 93752.7 CDDA sectors
File Size : 4.77G
That file is bigger than 4 Gig and WAV files are limited to 4G due
to the use of an unsigned 32 bit integer in the WAV file header.
Does it have anything to do with the error.?
More likely to be due to the file size.
Is there any way to salvage the recording?
Try using sndfile-convert (in the sndfile-programs package in
Debian/Ubuntu) to conver the file to a format which allows
files larger than 4G. Try:
sndfile-convert large-file.wav large-file.w64
Let me know if that doesn't work.
