Conversion Problems

[thatweet1]

I have gone through all of the steps of creating a wav file but now the converter says it is unable to convert. What is going wrong? This is what I get when I try to convert

Unable to run encoder 'C:\Program Files\Illustrate\dBpowerAMP\Compression\Mp4 (CLI)\encode.bat'


Please help ASAP

Re: Conversion Problems

What are the audio formats involved? What settings does the source file have and what settings are you specifying for the target file?

If you trying to create a MP4 file which version of the codec are you using?

Re: Conversion Problems

Im trying to convert wav files to mp4s the same way i have over 60 times now it tells me that it is unable to run the encoder. i thought that since the tracks are new they might be copy protected but i tried again with an old track and it said the same thing. by the way i have unistalled and reinstalled it like 5 times. i don't know the version but it is the one in the free tools on freeeringers.net. i also discovered i can convert it to a mp3 but my phone requires mp4

Re: Conversion Problems

Wav files dont' have copy protection.

Again what specs do you have for the wav file and what did you request for the output mp4 file?

Re: Conversion Problems

can u clarify the specs on wav file? the mp4 file is supposed to be 48 bits, i've tried changing that also

Re: Conversion Problems

A normal, uncompressed wav corresponding to an audio cd track for instance is PCM, 16-bit, 44.1KHz, 2-channel stereo. What format is yours?

A 1 minute wav under such specs occupies about 10MB.

Re: Conversion Problems

Try upgrading to the latest m4a/mp4 codec based on Nero's new encoder. It is in Codec Central. Be sure you follow the directions that are in the help file that shows up after install.

Re: Conversion Problems

downloaded latest mp4 codec tried nero now this is what i get

The CODEC required to compress 'C:\Converted Music\Baby - Pharrell.m4a' could not be opened.
Unable to run encoder 'C:\Program Files\Illustrate\dbPowerAmp\compression\Nero Digital Audio (AAC)\neroAacEnc.exe'

Re: Conversion Problems

As I said, follow the instructions in the help file. It says:

This codec relies on the Nero Digital AAC encoder, it can be downloaded only from Nero directly:

Installation Instructions:

1) download the Nero codec Zip package from:

http://www.nero.com/nerodigital/eng/Nero_Digital_Audio.html

2) Open the zip file (by double clicking on it) and open the folder win32, select all files (press control + a) and copy them (Edit menu >> Copy). Open a new explorer window, it is important the old zip window is left open (press Windows Key + E) and browse to:

C:\Program Files\Illustrate\dBpowerAMP\Compression\Nero Digital Audio (AAC)

In the above folder select (Edit menu >> Paste). After extracting the following files should be present in the above folder:

Nero Bitmap Image
neroAacDec Application
neroAacEnc Application
neroAacEnc_sse2 Application
options Text Document
Use SSE2 Encoder MS-DOS Batch File

Finally if your computer has a Pentium 4 or AMD 64 bit or later processor double click the file Use SSE2 Encoder in the above folder to make use of faster encoding.

Re: Conversion Problems

new problem i followed all of nero instructions carefully, file converted to m4a, i need mp4. m4a files are too large on my phone

Re: Conversion Problems

Mp4 and m4a are the same file types. They are just different names for the same thing. If you still want to change the exension, see here: http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?t=5361
