using foobar2000 to convert iso tracks into flac

[Alejandro Valdez]

Hi group, yesterday I was playing around with Foobar2000 trying to convert a few ISO tracks to flac files. I used the DVD-A plugin for Foobar and flac.exe as converter, it successfully converted the tracks.

I know that this conversion should be lossless... my ears don't notice any change in the audio quality of the flacs, but I would like to know what is the community opinion about the quality of foobar2000 to make this kind of conversions.

Any ideas?

It´s OK, if you don´t have the possibility to play DVD-As,
may be you have a streaming-client. In that case, it´s the best way
for you.
I personal prefer ISOs, because, if there is, there is a menu and
perhaps a video-part.

But be patient, I had problems with making large FLACs ( bigger then 2
GB).

Yes I agree about keeping the ISO for the menu and any kind of multimedia.

Anyway most of my ISOs are conversions from The Hub, I read a few days ago about the good things that tagging audio files could do and that the tracks in the ISOs can't be tagged... so I decided to convert my collection to flac...

If you want a second option, use DVD-A Explorer, it's been around
longer and until foobar was the only way to do it.

Thank you, and for the record: 

I extracted a few sample tracks with Foobar2000 and also with DVD-A Explorer, then compared both groups of extracted wav files with md5sum and they were the same files.

To answer my own question: Foobar2000 is at least as good as DVD-A Explorer to extract MLP tracks from DVD-A.

Yes, the wav- > MLP encoder -> mlp -> DVDA -> foobar+DVDAplugin ->
flac conversion is bit perfect.
