MP4 Conversion not working

[nikki]

Hello I actually posted this in the wrong forum so moving it here.

when I try to convert to MP4 format I get the following error message:

"C:\Program Files\Illustrate\dBpowerAMP\Compression\Mp4 (CLI)\encode.bat" C:\~dmcin.wav C:\~dmcout.mp4 -br 48

Unable to run encoder 'C:\Program Files\Illustrate\dBpowerAMP\Compression\Mp4 (CLI)\encode.bat'


Any suggestions? I tried re-installing.

Thanks!

Re: MP4 Conversion not working

Which mp4 encoder did you download? Try the encoder here: http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?t=7417

Re: MP4 Conversion not working

Initially I installed dbpoweramp-codec-mp4.exe

I tried installing the link you gave me and got the following error message:

The CODEC required to compress 'C:\Converted Music\Atomic Dog.m4a' could not be opened.
Unable to run encoder 'C:\Program Files\Illustrate\dBpowerAMP\Compression\m4a (FAAC CLI)\faac.exe'

So not sure why I'm having problems with the encoder.

Re: MP4 Conversion not working

Where do you have dbPowerAmp installed to? Do you see a "locate encoder" button on the Compression settings or advanced settings? It sounds like you need to point dMC to the correct location.

Well, when I click on locate encoder automatically pops up with

C:\Program Files\Illustrate\dBpowerAMP\Compression\m4a (FAAC CLI)\faac.exe

Is that wrong?

Re: MP4 Conversion not working

Is that where you have the encoder installed to? If it is, then it is correct. If you have dMC installed somewhere else, change it to reflect where dMC is installed to.

It is installed to that location but it just won't run the file. Say's it can't. The locate encoder is pointed towards it. Any other suggestions?

Is your original file maybe protected? Can you play it in any player?

Re: MP4 Conversion not working

Hi,

The files are not protected. It just won't run the encoder.

Re: MP4 Conversion not working

What is the settings of your input file? Try converting to a 16-bit, 2-channel (stereo) 44100Hz WAV and then converting to a mp4 file.

Re: MP4 Conversion not working

Hi,

I did that and it still fails. Says it can't run the decoder. It goes to about 9% and I get the error message.

Can you play the file in any player? If so, which one?

Re: MP4 Conversion not working

If you can't, the file's probably corrupted. Try downloading the codecs again.

Re: MP4 Conversion not working

If no media player plays the file, the file is probably corrupted. Did you try to remove protection on a downloaded iTunes Music Store song?

Re: MP4 Conversion not working

If it's protection, Here is your answer. I made a really nice post here too.
