Not sure what manual means, but I did run a compression on the wav files using the menu option of Tools|Compress WAVs. If that is what you mean by manual.  As long as it is a local directory it works, if I try this off a NAS directory it fails the same.  Thus I believe the problem is related to a NAS directory.

My 2 additional cents on the subject :

 

1. Try to run flac manually on your wav file with the exact same options that EAC generates, and see whether it works, or what actual message flac gives

2. I noticed in the screen capture of your external compression options that you have « .flac » listed as file extension to use. When I did that, I had a conflict that prevented the compression from working fine. I don’t remember what it was, it was several years ago, but since then, I have out there « .fla » instead of « .flac » and that fixed it. Not sure whether you would have the same problem, but at this stage, it’s worth trying... :-)

- Try ripping to a local directory, not NAS.

- copy FLAC.EXE to a different location (say, C:\FLAC\FLAC.EXE) and 
adjust the command line in EAC options accordingly.) Here are my 
Compression Options for comparison:

My FLAC command line is:

--compression-level-6 --verify -T "artist=%artist%" -T "title=%title%" 
-T "album=%albumtitle%" -T "date=%year%" -T "tracknumber=%tracknr%" -T 
"genre=%genre%" %source%

- Try running EAC as Administrator.
