Crashing on large file size

[nakedsushi]

I tried running a large wav file (almost 600M) through flac.js, but it keeps crashing w/ the Chrome "Aw Snap" error message around 49%. Is there another solution for working with large files?

chrome debug log:

You could try encoding chunks and glueing them together with an application that has access to a real hard drive, e.g. ffmpeg. If the native flac container doesn't work, use the OGG container format --ogg.

Note that Chrome usually tells you its heap size limit if you ask for it: window.performance.memory.jsHeapSizeLimit

just ran into this as well, the smallest wav I can make the error happen on is ~120 mb / 30 minute length.
Is this fixable in the library?

Same problem with (not really) large file ~180 mb / 17 minutes.

Chrome error: "Pause before out of memory crash" on

flac.js/worker/FlacEncoder.js

Line 155 in fa9622d

FlacEncoder.flushErr = flushErr = function() {

If I resume it in DevTool it work's fine without crashes.

My DevTool shows:

window.performance.memory.jsHeapSizeLimit
2197815296

It's about 2GB

I use another workers for mp3/wav/ogg encoding with same big files and there is no problem with memory limit.

If you already have the debugger there, a full stack trace would be nice :)

Seems Pause before out of memory error came from EmsWorkerProxy.js on the second line of

function _emscripten_memcpy_big(dest, src, num) {
    HEAPU8.set(HEAPU8.subarray(src, src + num), dest); // <-- here error Pause before out of memory
    return dest
}
