Music Converter Crashes with ntdll.dll errot

[Bob S]

I installed the dbpowerAmp Music Converter and then the "real audio Codecs" and followed the configuration directions as far as enabling dbpowerAMp to see my *.ra files. All of that worked. But when I go to convert a real audio file to a WAV file, then the program starts but soon crashes with the following error message:

AppName: musicconverter.exe AppVer: 6.4.0.1 ModName: ntdll.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180 Offset: 00018494



Does anyone have any ideas?

Did you install the Real Audio codec which goes hand in hand with Real Player, or the DirectShow codec with the .ra and .rm filters which also requires Real Alternative?

Can you play your real media file? In what player?

Incidentally it looks like your dBpowerAMP Music Converter is an ancient version. The current version is r11.5 and you seem to have v 6 ?

Thanks for the response. I will try to be coherent, but I have been at this for many hours and can't think straight anymore.

At the start of the day I had Real Audio installed. At some point I uninstalled Real Audio and installed Real Alternative. Later I came accross and installed dbPowerAMP (version 11.5). I then installed the DirectShow codec. My first attempt at using MusicConverter to convert an *.ra file to a *.WAV file was succesful. It was only later on, that I had problems.

I was also installing and playing with various new audio programs today. At some point I think that I uninstalled Real Alternative. Based upon your response, I re-installed Real Alternative and now my MusicConverter works just fine. Thanks!

(So right now if I click on a real audio file, the Real Alternative player comes up. I do in fact have dBpowerAMP Music Converter r11.5 installed).

Again, thanks for the quick response!
