MediaMonkey forum

its first time i tried audio transcoding using mm4 and whether fileformat i wanna transcode into mp3 i get the error msg that the specified file couldnt be created (tried different harddrive destination as well).transcoding to any other format is fine.

im on 1426 >portable<, ffdshow beta 7 (audio decoding disabled for mediamonkey), xp sp2, and tried with admin account + as normal user.
tried to transcode wav, ape, m4a, ogg and mp3 files so far. all attempted files are playable, so its definately an encoder problem.

didnt replace the lame_enc.dll yet, will do so later.

Hi Dr. Snuggles,

Conversion is working fine for me. Can you tell me a bit more to help track this down?

1) Is this always failing on your system?
2) What OS?
3) Does transcoding to other formats work?
4) MP3 encoding is time-bombed to 30 days unless you've upgraded to Gold. Do you have the Gold version?
5) What is the exact text of the error message?
6) Can you please send a debug log?

Thanks.

7. same on 1431

tested with no extensions but codec pack and scrobbler.

resolved as of 1434

thanks to michal,russel and jiri for tracing!

And thanks to you and sleepmen for all the detailed feedback! As a result, there should also be a slight increase in performance for MP3 ripping.
