Re: Need help on converting wav to mp3

is it a 24bit wav or 16bit? you have the latest dmc installed? http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm

Re: Need help on converting wav to mp3

try: start-->programs->dbpoweramp music converter-->configuration-->dmc configuration

and look to see if you can see lame mp3 codec in the list as intalled.

and does the powerpack show registered?

Re: Need help on converting wav to mp3

ok i should have just asked then how long have you had dmc installed for? the latest version should have got you 30 days trial for the mp3 codec. refer here: http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthre...9099#post29099

did it say in that window that powerpack unregistered or trial version? did you purchase a copy of dmc at some stage?

If the encoder trial is up, then that is the error message given.

Try different bitrates or frequencies on the mp3 compression page.

Re: Need help on converting wav to mp3

ok, we still need to know what it says in : start-->programs->dbpoweramp music converter-->configuration-->dmc configuration

as in does it say powerpack unregistered? or trial version?

Re: Need help on converting wav to mp3

it says registered no 30 trial days remaining

Re: Need help on converting wav to mp3

Spoon, i am wondering if it is possible to program dmc so it doesn't show the mp3 convert to option anymore after the trial has expired? as it looks like this error messsage is going to appear on the forums a lot. at least then when someone says their mp3 codec convert to option dissapeared we know what happened. just a thought.

hmmmm... well that's not what it should be saying if thats a direct quote from what you see.

you may need to uninstall and re install to see if that clears up things.

Re: Need help on converting wav to mp3

So do i need to download and instal the lame mp3 encoder thing or what.

Re: Need help on converting wav to mp3

Actually Razgo, that's exactly what mine says too. And you should be able to encode to mp3 just fine. Have you tried other bitrate and frequencies?
