wma to mp3 codec error

[mph182]

hi, im currently using R12 and it seems to work perfectly when converting mp3s to other formats but wma. I had WMA9pro codec but i upgraded to the WMA10pro because i thought it would work but no luck. It shows on the drop down list that i HAVE wma pro 10 codec, but it says "CODEC" there is nothing there. Also, its not showing anything where it says "target" ... etc. Anyway i was wondering if there was something you guys could help me with. Thanks in advance.

Re: wma to mp3 codec error

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the WMA codec.

Re: wma to mp3 codec error

Forgive me if I am wrong, but doesn't WMA10Pro require Windows Media Player 11?

Re: wma to mp3 codec error

The dMC WMA codec installs the system codecs necessary for encoding/decoding, so I don't think WMP 11 is needed, no

Re: wma to mp3 codec error

i tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software, tried wma9 codecs and also the wma10, but nothing seems to work.

Re: wma to mp3 codec error

The title bar of the dMC window looks weird. Are you running a program similar to WindowBlinds? If so, try turning off the styles for dMC, this has been known to cause problems in the past.

Re: wma to mp3 codec error

Try turning WindowBlinds off totally, does that help?

If you click the "List/Rename" button, does it show the file?

Re: wma to mp3 codec error

i have the windowsblinds turn off completely now.

And yes, it does show the output file xyz.wma and also the source file xyz.mp3

but then when i press convert, i still get this very same message:

"Error converting to Windows Media Audio 10, 'C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Music\Unconverted\A_State_of_Trance_284__18-01-2007\Armin van Buuren presents - A State of Trance Episode 284.mp3' to 'C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Music\Unconverted\A_State_of_Trance_284__18-01-2007\Armin van Buuren presents - A State of Trance Episode 284.wma'
Error Creating WMA Profile. [clEncoder::BeginConversion]"


so thats what i get.
