With FLAC you do not specify a bitrate like with some lossy codecs. It's more like specifying a quality with Vorbis or MPC, except with FLAC the quality is always "lossless" and the resulting bitrate is roughly proportional to the amount of information in the original signal. You cannot control the bitrate and the result can be from around 100% of the input rate (if you are encoding noise), down to almost 0 (encoding silence).

First, <A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=13478&atid=113478">visit the bug tracking page</A> and do a little searching of both open and closed bugs to see if yours is already there. If you have something truly new, <A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?func=addbug&group_id=13478">submit a new bug</A>. <B>Make sure</B> to monitor the bug or include your email address in the description. Include as much information as possible: the version of FLAC that you are running, the name and version of any frontend you are running, your operating system and version, your CPU type and speed, the amount of memory you have, where you downloaded FLAC from, the exact error message (if any) copied from the console, and anything else you may think will help.

Every single report of this has turned out to be caused by a hardware problem, usually aggressive over-clocking or bad RAM. The best indicator of this is that the verify failure does not always happen in the same place for the same file. First, read the comments in <A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=595858&group_id=13478&atid=113478">this bug report</A>. Then, if you have a file that fails verification in the same place every time, <A HREF="#general__submit_bug">submit a new bug</A>, uploading a sample according to <A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=585158&group_id=13478&atid=113478">the instructions found at the bottom of this bug report</A>.

There are a few places. The main discussions happen on <A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=13478">the official FLAC mailing lists</A>. Eventually we will be transitioning over to <A HREF="http://xiph.org/archives/">the lists on Xiph.org</A>. Also, there is a lot of discussion relating to FLAC on <A HREF="http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/">Hydrogen Audio</A>.
