[Multi Encoder] - is corrupting files and throwing errors
After trying to convert WAV to FLAC and having about 300 discs where one or two WAV files on each of the albums throws errors with the following messages, I have narrowed this down to creating a [Multi Encoder] process where I wanted to do multiple steps in one process rather than running each one individually. The various errors I am getting are of the following types:
Error converting to [Multi Encoder], <path to my WAV file to be converted> to <path to where my FLAC file will be created>
Error Cannot Create Wave Decoder (Unknown ACM ID: 0 (ACM decoder not installed))? [clWaveDecoder_Wave::PrepareToDecodeAudio]
Error converting to [Multi Encoder], <path to my WAV file to be converted> to <path to where my FLAC file will be created>
Error Chunk is out of file. [clRIFFHandler::ScanFile]
Error Cannot Create Wave Decoder (Unknown ACM ID: 24932 (ACM decoder not installed))? [clWaveDecoder_Wave::PrepareToDecodeAudio]
Error converting to [Multi Encoder], <path to my WAV file to be converted> to <path to where my FLAC file will be created>
Error cannot find 'data' chunk. [clWaveDecoder_Wave::PullOutFMTnDATA]
Error cannot find 'data' chunk. [clWaveDecoder_Wave::PullOutFMTnDATA]
Error cannot find 'data' chunk. [clWaveDecoder_Wave::PullOutFMTnDATA]
Steps to generate the Errors:
If I run each of these steps individually, the WAV file(s) convert to FLAC without any errors:
- Run against the folder with the WAV files: [FLAC]: Base Location is set to "G:\Music_FLAC" and Output To is set to: [TRIMFIRSTFOLDER][origpath][]\[origfilename]
- Run against the folder with the FLAC files: [Tag From Filename]: Tag Recognition: [Album Artist]\[Album]\[Track] [Title] ==> If I view the Properties of the FLAC file and look at the "ID-Tag" tab, this sets the Title/Contributing Artists/Album/Album Artist all correctly
- Run against the folder with the FLAC files: [Tag From Filename]: Tag Recognition: [Artist]\[Album]\[Track] [Title] ==> If I view the Properties of the FLAC file and look at the "ID-Tag" tab, nothing really different changed but was doing this as a test to get the ID-Tags sets correctly
Now, if I create a [Multi Encoder] with the exact same 3 steps I ran individually above on a Prince album, it errors out with the errors noted below
Error converting to [Multi Encoder], 'G:\Music_WAV\Prince\Around the World in a Day\01 Around the World in a Day.wav' to 'G:\Music_FLAC\Prince\Around the World in a Day\01 Around the World in a Day.flac'

Error Chunk is out of file. [clRIFFHandler::ScanFile]
Error Cannot Create Wave Decoder (Unknown ACM ID: 24932 (ACM decoder not installed))? [clWaveDecoder_Wave::PrepareToDecodeAudio]
Anybody know why this is happening? Should I not be using a [Multi Encoder]? Or am I using it incorrectly? When it works, it works, but no idea why it fails on some of these and not on others.
