Error report converting .aif to .m4a - 'Error Chunk is out of file.'

[Richard Spencer]

I have just updated to 14.3 and now, when converting a set of tracks from AIFF to Apple Lossless I get an error report for about half of the tracks as follows:

Error converting to Apple Lossless, 'C:\Data\Temp\Music\AccurateRip Library\Chris Knight\Little Victories\02 - Missing You.aif' to 'E:\Music Resources\New Apple Lossless\Chris Knight\Little Victories\02 - Missing You.m4a'
Error Chunk is out of file. [clAIFFHandler::ScanFile]

The source and target folders are ones I have regularly used without problem in the past.

Any advice ?

Thanks

Re: Error report converting .aif to .m4a - 'Error Chunk is out of file.'

Enable debug mode for music converter, it will show details of one of your aif files during conversion. It is possible the new AIF codec is able to highlight errors in your aif file, which an early version did not.

Thanks - but why would there be an error in the AIF file ?

I have run music converter on the same file again with debug mode on. Output is attached below. AIF file was created by dbpoweramp 14.3 and is 40.2MB and plays. The m4a file is 40kB and does not. The preceding track (no error report) is 41.5MB as an AIF and 28.2MB as a m4a and both play. I ripped this CD on my desktop back in London UK (amongst a group of about 30 CDs) but I am now in Perth, Western Australia with my laptop. I do not have all the CDs with me but I do have this one. Both desktop and laptop have previously ripped and convered many CDs successfully using dbpoweramp 14.2. Will it be possible to convert the files producing errors ?

Thanks for your advice

Richard

Re: Error report converting .aif to .m4a - 'Error Chunk is out of file.'

What is the exact size of this AIFF file in bytes?

[Richard Spencer]

Re: Error report converting .aif to .m4a - 'Error Chunk is out of file.'

Spoon

It is 42,175,075 bytes (Size on disk: 42,176,512 bytes). I could 'YouSendIt' the file to you if that might help.

Regards

Re: Error report converting .aif to .m4a - 'Error Chunk is out of file.'

Yes please, there seems to be something on the end of the file which should not be there.

[Richard Spencer]

To what address ?

You should receive an email from YouSendIt with a download link to the file.

I have run music converter on the same file again with debug mode on.
