Wave file size limitation -- Add W64 support #52

Closed musicvid closed 3 years ago

musicvid commented 4 years ago

Program audio source (aac, ac3) is compressed 5:1 to 10:1 in some cases. When decoding longer (2+ hour) programs to PCM, the legacy .WAV file size limitation is quickly exceeded, making program-length audio frameserving impossible, such as with Happy Otter Scripts.

For Magix / Sony users, adding Wave 64 pipeline support would be an ideal solution, possibly without upsetting the existing infrastructure too much.

Closing this issue because w64 is a proprietary format, likely only understood by Vegas/SoundForge software and not compatible with AVI format in general.

This issue is now fixed. CuminCode (the new developers of FrameServer) have built a paid version and the latest release of FrameseServer 4.21 has Wave64 capability if you enable the "virtual AVI file" option. Check it out at https://www.cumincode.com/frameserver/ .
