Title: Provide more info about why "Convert Format" failed
Post by: mattkhan on August 02, 2022, 01:55:12 am: currently, it just seems to say "failed" and gives no clue as to why it failed

In my particular case, I eventually found the following in the log

Code: [Select]

exposing at least one of those error codes/messages to the end user would be better than nothing

FLAC seems to have a limit to the sample rate with our encoder.

You could use Monkey's Audio.

I converted an 8x DSD to APE and it worked. I tried FLAC and it failed.

Post by: Hendrik on August 03, 2022, 01:57:50 pm: You really don't want to encode any PCM file at the high DSD sample rate, it just wastes space, and instead should setup DSP to downsample to something reaonable, maybe 176.4kHz.

Thanks for the info and DSP sampling reduction suggestion.

Cheers,
Lawrence

Post by: Hendrik on August 04, 2022, 03:59:38 am: The original file seems to have bad FPS data. You can probably use a mode without AutoFPS for it to work.
