command line corconverter error in Windows 7 64 bit

[daveolson]

I am able to convert audio files using the dMC application but when I try to run coreconverter from the command line it crashes with an error saying it cannot find the encoder. This is dMC version 14.1

Any suggestions?

You would have to post your command line...

Be aware that some command-lines are system specific (if using say WMA)

Re: command line corconverter error in Windows 7 64 bit

Hello Spoon, I try to convert .rm file to .wma on windows 7. I can do that via the (registered) application, but just cannot get it right with command line. This is my command (in perl)
my $conversion = "\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Illustrate\\dBpoweramp\\coreconverter.exe\" -infile=\"$input_rm\" -outfile=\"$output_wma\" -convert_to=\"Windows Media Audio 10\" -codec=\"Windows Media Audio 9.2\" -settings=\"32 kbps, 22 kHz, stereo VBR\" -vbr";

Please help, thank you.

Try enabling debug mode for the converter, convert once with command line and once in the gui, and compare.

Hi Spoon, thank you for replying. Here are the 2 debug
1- successful from app:
encoder settings ' -codec="Windows Media Audio 9.2" -settings=" 16 kbps, 16 kHz, mono CBR"'
Creating WMA Writer
Creating WMA Profile Manager
Creating Empty WMA Profile
Adding Audio Stream
Initializing Converter
Setting Profile
Setting Output Filename
Setting Input Format Type
Begining Writing


2- Error from command line:


encoder settings ' -codec="Windows Media Audio 9.2" -settings="16 kbps, 16 kHz, mono CBR"'
Creating WMA Writer
Creating WMA Profile Manager
Creating Empty WMA Profile
Adding Audio Stream
*** Error: Error Creating WMA Profile. [clEncoder::BeginConversion]
->-> [clDecoder::Close]
->-> [clDirectShow::FreeDirectShow]
<-<- [clDirectShow::FreeDirectShow]
<-<- [clDecoder::Close]
->-> [clDirectShow::FreeDirectShow]
<-<- [clDirectShow::FreeDirectShow]


I see the 2 settings are the same, just wonder why it does not work from command line.


Thank you.

encoder settings ' -codec="Windows Media Audio 9.2" -settings="16 kbps, 16 kHz, mono CBR"'

Not the same

Yes you are right Spoon. I missed the syntax, will be careful next time. Thank you for your time.
