Error no encoder specified.

I have dBpoweramp installed on two computers (family pack) both running windows 7. On one computer it works perfectly, but on the other it always comes up with the following error:

Error converting to , 'E:\FLAC\Queen\A Night at the Odeon\01-Now I'm Here (Live At The Hammersmith Odeon, London _ December 1975).flac' to 'E:\FLAC\Queen\A Night at the Odeon\01-Now I'm Here (Live At The Hammersmith Odeon, London _ December 1975)'
Error no encoder specified. [dBCoreConverter::ParseCommandLine]

Any ideas how to remedy?

Re: Error no encoder specified.

It means that dBpoweramp is not able to write to the temporary folder, either security settings, or security software.

I had this issue as well. I think there may be a bug in dbpoweramp.

FIX : Convert any file to any format other than FLAC. Afterwards FLAC conversions will run without issue.

Details:
To reproduce:
1. Install dbpoweramp for the first time
2. Start the converter
3. Set conversion to output FLAC
4. Error reported above should be displayed

To workaround:
1. Set the output to be any other file format - mp3, wav, aac etc
2. Run the converter
3. Set the output back to FLAC
4. Run the converter a second time, no error is displayed.

Hope this helps.
