WMA encoding problem

Post by thj » Sun May 21, 2006 2:10 am

I'm using XP Home Edition SP1 (German version) with Windows Media Player 10 which plays WMA files just fine.

When trying to convert MP3 to WMA, I always get the following error (Console output log):

MediaCoder Version 0.3.9 build 1854 (built on Wed May 17 23:18:48 2006)
Based on MediaCoder Core (SSE) build 402 (built on Wed May 17 23:18:44 20

When I check the "Path of Windows Media Encoder" setting via File -> Settings -> Audio Encoders -> Windows Media Audio, I see the value .\codecs\ (without executable, as opposed to .\codecs\iTunesEncode.exe for iTunesEncode, or .\codecs\wavpack.exe for WavPack, etc.)

What am I missing?

Thx

Please download Windows Media Encoder (at the download page) and install it.

Thanks, Stanley. That helped overcome this problem. However, I'm facing a new one now for the following settings...

File Details (Test.mp3)
Container: MPEG Audio
Duration: 244.0 sec(s)
Audio: MPEG-1 L3
Bitrate: 192 Kbps
Bitrate Mode: VBR
Sample Rate: 44100 Hz
Channel(s): 2
Target Format
Audio: Windows Media Audio
Bit Rate: 64 Kbps
Estimated File Size: 1904 KB

... I get this result:
