AAC/M4A encoder not recognized in 16.2

[jamie507]

Hi everyone.

I am trying to convert mp3s to m4a although I keep installing the codec from dbpoweramp website. The codec it's just not "recognized" ?
How can i get it to work?

Regards

You are installing to the same location that dBpoweramp is installed?

Yes I am. Actually I can see the new .dll's in the Encoders Folder but for some reason it's just not "acknowledging" them.
Clueless now.
Tried uninstalling and installing about 5 times.

I've tried AAC/M4A and it works just fine for me, but I have a problem with MP3 (Helix) not being recognized though it's installed properly as far as I can tell.

I know it says it's only 32Bit and I am running on Win7 64Bit so is that the problem for it not showing up? Ofcourse I can still use good old Lame for MP3, but I really enoyed the Helix' speed.

For some reason you have the 32 bit version installed, uninstall the m4a codec and follow the instructions here:

about to hold the right shift key whilst installing the m4a encoder to force the 32 bit version.

Hi. Thanks for reply.
It does say 64 bit when I open it.

Catch 22?!

If you hold the right shift key whilst double click the install, it forces the 32 bit installer.
