Converting m4b problems

[Saitac]

I have an audio book that is in a m4b format. I installed:
dBpoweramp-Codec-m4a.exe,
dBpoweramp-Codec-aac-encoder.exe, and
dBpoweramp-Codec-m4a-utilities.exe from Codec Central. I get the error message:
Error converting to mp3 (Lame), 'C:\My Shared Folder\TheLionsGameUnabridged\TheLionsGameUnabridg edPart1.m4b' to 'C:\My Shared Folder\TheLionsGameUnabridged\TheLionsGameUnabridg edPart1.mp3'
Error: Unable to load decoder for file type '.m4b', codec not installed? visit 'Codec Central'. [dBCoreConverter::dBCoreConverter]

when trying to convert.

Any help would be welcome,
Thnx

when i was writing the post i noticed all the .exe's read m4a and so i figured it was a reference problem with the wrong extension. I renamed to m4a and it was still a problem. Any help welcome.

Re: Converting m4b problems

Where did your file come from? If it was purchased via iTunes, it is copy-protected and cannot be converted by dMC until the protection is removed.

i too got that error so i upgraded the codec to the beta. still got that error so decided to upgrade to the newest dbpoweramp software. now i can not see any of the files for conversion when trying to convert. i got this program mainly to convert audible files to mp3. do i need to just go back to the old software for this?

Re: Converting m4b problems

What files are not being seen? .m4b files? Again, where did your files come from?

Check dBpoweramp Configuration to make sure that the mp4/m4a codec is installed correct (Start Menu --> Programs --> dBpoweramp Music Converter --> Configuration --> dBpoweramp Configuration).

Unfortunately, we cannot offer help for aa files due to Audible's protestation, as stated here: http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthre...ewpost&t=12620
