    Codec Help

    I run dBpoweramp alongside a commercial broadcast automation system (AudioVAULT). AV uses the QDesign MP2 Codec (even though I don't use compression, it loads with the system). Everytime I try to convert an audio file via the right click option (for example, from .wav to FLAC), I get a QDesign popup that asks me to register. If I cancel out of it, all is well, but if I am converting multiple files, I have to cancel over and over again.

    I tried installing the MP2 from Codec Central and it didn't help?

    Any ideas?

    You are running dBpoweramp to convert? by right clicking on a wave file >> Convert To >> then select flac as encoder?

    That is correct. If I use the right click to convert or run the batch converter, I have this problem.

    For example. If I use the batch converter to do 12 files and am using all of my CPU cores, I will have to cancel out of that QDesign license window 12 times to let each core start working.

    The qdesign codec must be a wave acm decoder, it is not possible to bypass this, you would have to obtain a registered copy of qdesign.

    I thought about doing that... It's $149. It is an ACM decoder, you are correct.

    I've done some more troubleshooting. Restoring my base OS image, changing the order of install, etc... I have found a working configuration, but it only works when I back down to version 13.5. If I go to V14+, this reappears. Does that offer any useful information? I've done countless testing since backing down to 13.5 and no matter what I do, I no longer have an issue.

    I have verified this on two separate machines now.

    Okay. I'll do the trial ware of the current version and see if it comes back. If it does not, I will purchase that version. If there is anyway I can offer you any debug information, I'd be happy to do so.

    I also run along side Adobe Audition 6.0 and it doesn't present any problems either.
