Thread: FLAC conversion problem

    FLAC conversion problem

    I have a FLAC file that doesn't seem to convert. I had dbPoweramp version 13, just upgraded to version 14 to see if that helped. Same problem.

    I've tried to convert the flac to mp3, AAC, WAV and the result every time is that I get a file that is 76 bytes long. The FLAC plays fine in MediaMonkey. I enabled logging and here is what the results are:

    This shows the Wave file was 24MBs when dBpoweramp exited, you have looked at that wave file?

    That's the funny part - the resulting file is < 10Kb. I have further diagnosed this though. If I don't use the batch app, it will convert the file fine and I get the right size file and it plays great. When I do it with the batch convert it truncates the file. So I have a workaround now, however there is still a bug :-)

    Your security software might have sandboxed dBpoweramp when using the Batch Converter.

    The batch converter worked on ~4000 files. I have found two that cause this bug. Strangely they are both INXS songs, and both track 1 off the disk. Is there logging in the batch converter?

    Re: FLAC conversion problem

    What happens if you only convert those two files with batch converter?
