I am rippign at very high speed, but encoding is very slow ( 0.3x) I did not have this problem when I ran MC 9. my settings at 128Kbps & "high quality".

I have also tried to instal the MC 9 plugin but the installer crashes.

Can anyone help, as I have just bought a bigger hardrive and want to start ripping my collection!!

thanks

Hi,

sorry -

I am encoding to mp3 cbr 128kbps.

I have just been searching for lame encoders to see if it is a MC prob or pc prob. I download cdex and discovered that i don't have aspi !! i have downloaded and installed the right drivers from  adaptec  and will try again. wil let you know asap - but right now I have to take my partner out to do house things :(

thanks so far

Search for "Lame" here and you'll find a recent thread on this problem.  It is probably the version of the encoder.

Hi JimH,

A big thank you. I downloaded another LAME.EXE file from somewhere and copied it into the directory ( replacing the one there already) Even though the new one ( infact the older version ) was a fraction of the size, I am now back at speed - 128kbps , HIgh quality and 3x.

a big thanks
