Unable To Convert

[ladywarrior]

When trying to convert a file, I get the following message:

Unable to write to 'E:\My Stationery\Good Wavs\Blake Shelton_TheBaby wav.TEMPwav', disk full?

What does this mean? I'm converting files and putting them in the same folder I download them from, over writing the original since I have them in another folder.

Re: Unable To Convert

Did you leave a player open where you have just played the file? Like WMP maybe?

Or did you maybe check the "open as read-only" option in dMC when selecting the files for conversion?

Or is E: a CD drive by any chance? or some other drive to which you don't have write access?

Re: Unable To Convert

E: drive is for my protable memory stick. That's where I have the music files downloaded to for my stationery. No other players were in use. I don't get right click options. I click open and it goes right to my downloaded files. I don't know what happened, but I selected only one song to be converted and it converted all of them. Anyway they are all much smaller now, kbs instead MBs.

OK, so you lost all of them in fact.

The option to open as read only is from dMC - if you start it by itself, as it shows a browser window.

You probably did select all of them, it wouldn't just suddenly run amok through a folder.

You right click option is enabled in dMC Confuguration.

If you are trying to convert audio files to wav and they are to be on a meory stick, I'm pretty dure you dont' have enough sapce on the memory stick to store the resulting files, especially if you are trying to convert to uncompressed pcm wav. For that kind of format 1 minute of audio occupies about 10MB of space. How much space do you have have on your memory stick? More importantly, how much available space is there prior to the conversion? Before it can store 40MB of file it must have it available first, even if it will later delete the original file which may also have occupied the same space.
