Thread: error message converting wav to MP3

  1. #1

    Red face error message converting wav to MP3

    I am trying to convert a wav audio file recorded on my ipod via Griffin iTalk Pro to MP3 format so I can burn it to CD. The recording is of a meeting (ie 2 people talking so mono is fine) and 17 mins long. I want to be able to record meetings of up to 1.5 hours and convert them to burn to CD (ipod will only record in wav).

    I am getting the following error message:

    Error converting to mp3 (Lame), 'C:\Documents and Settings\Caroline Moroz\Desktop\Halyna Test.wav' to 'C:\Documents and Settings\Caroline Moroz\Desktop\converted recordings\Halyna Test.mp3'
    Error Chunk is out of file. [clRIFFHandler::ScanFile]


    Can anyone please advise what any of this means and how I fix it?

    Words of few syllables and laymen terms if possible, please! Many thanks.

    Can the file be played back on the ipod?
    Can the wav file be played on a pc in, say, Windows Media Player?

    I am having the same problem, only I am trying to convert an m4a to mp3. The file plays in itunes okay, and it is a direct rip from a CD. I'm trying to upload it to imeem, but I get that same error message when I try to convert. I might just have to re-rip the CD, but I'd like to avoid it. Someone please help?
