how to change tempory file use by the convertor ?

[stefroy]

I have a big file ( about 300Mo ) , when i try to convert it , after a few minutes of convertion, i have an error message saying there is not enought space for a tempory file.
We can choose where to put the converted file, but we cant choose where is located the tempory file using during the conversion.

How to fix this ?

Thank for your help

Re: how to change tempory file use by the convertor ?

What are you converting to what (format, bitrate, frequency, bit setting, channels)?

Are you trying to use any dsp settings from Power Pack and do you have Power Pack installed.

dMC allows you to set a filepath for the temp file which is used for dsp effects from the power pack. This can be set when you are at the dBpowerAMP Music Converter window and clicking on the Power Pack icon. This ONLY applies to the temp file used for dsp effects and if you are not using dsp efects, this will not help your situation.

But sometimes you will be better off doing a 2 step conversion (such as FLAC to wav and wav to mp4 rather than FLAC to mp4 directly).

If neither of these ideas helps, please let us know the ssetting information requested for your source file and the file you are trying to create through this conversion.

Do you have Power Pack?
If so, are you using dsp effects (such as Volume Normalize)?

If the answer to the above questions is "Yes", then try setting an alternate temporary filepath as I outlined above.

If the answer to either question is "No", then you will have to try something else.
Have you tried converting your mp3 file to wav and then converting that wav file to mp3Pro?

If that does not work, please tell us what settings your mp3 file has in terms of bitrate, channels and frequency.Also, please tell us what settings you are using for the mp3PRO file that you are tryng to create.

the error message is
Error whilst running DSP effect, lack of disk space? Temp file 'C:\DOCUME~1\Stephane\LOCALS~1\Temp\DMCE.tmp'

yes i use Volume Normalize.
I will try without Volume Normalize and tell you the result.

When the dMC window is opened, you have the Powerpack button (if you have it installed). Click on that and the new window shows you the temporary filepath which you may change.

The temporary file path you CAN change is the one used for dsp effects (like Volume Normalization). This can be set when you are at the dBpowerAMP Music Converter window and clicking on the Power Pack icon.
