MPC Quirks
I've noticed a few funny quirks while using the MPC codec recently. I've always messed with it a bit, but tended to prefer my more universally compatible codecs for various reasons. However, since Nero released MPC support, I have ressurected MPC due to its great bass response.
Anyhow, my recent MPC conversions sometimes produce funny quirks.
1) once in a while, the tag will contain a strange PETAGEX value for one of the fields, and it is often very difficult to change this to its correct value.
2) sometimes when deleting an MPC file made with DMC, it will tell me that the file is write protected or some other error warning usually with a (5) at the end. often it gives me 3 or 4 pop up errors, but after clicking ok on them all, the file is in fact deleted.
There are a couple other strange things that aren't a big deal, and could go completely unnoticed until you mess around with the files for a while. I'll try and document the exact circumstances and the exact error response, but in the mean time perhaps someone could enlighten me about this. I never have these issues with other codecs, and I can't remember if the old MPC codec also had these quirks... but I want to say that it didn't. (At least I don't remember encountering them back then)
Any Ideas?
