    free dMC issue

    I used dMC a couple of months ago with the PowerPack trial. I didn't use it for a while, and the PowerPack expired, so I uninstalled all dMC applications. I am trying to use dMC again, and downloaded dMC without the PowerPack, but it keeps giving me "The CODEC required to compress 'C:\Converted Music\....xxx.mp3' could not be opened" message. I tried Beta release, but the same error message. (I made sure that I uninstall PowerPack through Control Panel.) Is this related to the expired PowerPack trial? If I download the PowePack again and register it, would it fix the problem?

    I don't think so. The basic operation of dMC shouldn't be affected by Power Pack really. But you could try getting a trial version again and install it and see if it changes anything.

    Most probably you are not installing all the components (dMC and all the codecs) into the same folder consistently.

    Also it's possible the file you are trying to convert is either protected or it is encoded with one of the other mp3 codecs (e.g. mp3pro), not the one that comes with dMC as part of the package (I don't think it's been removed yet, has it?).

    Just try to download a few other mp3 codecs from Codec central and install all of them, on the offchance that one of them is the one you actually need.

      The issue is nothing to do with power pack, but rather settings used for mp3 compression (try other bitrates / frequencies).
