HDCD CDs and transcoding

In future, please attach log output to your post as a file instead of posting it inline. A very long post like this makes it hard for people to read the thread. It is best to compress the log file to .zip or .tar.gz before attaching it.

You can't use -af hdcd with a 16-bit output stream. This is because HDCD encodes 20 bits of information into a 16-bit sample. The hdcd filter decodes this information back to 20 bits, so it cannot work unless the output bit depth is at least 20 bits.
