I could not download the APE file you provided. Please choose a better name (no spaces or special characters) and send me that name via PM.

Thanks Alex, I wonder if this was the result of pasting an image during playback; I stopped doing that a while back because of MC crashes when attempting to.

Indeed it crashes MC when converting to OGG.

Something is wrong with the embedded image tag.

A duplicate file converts fine after removing the image.

Also, the same duplicate ape file converts fine after adding the same image back inside the file tag. (I copied it from the original file using right-click copy-paste in Action Window).

I wonder if the problem is that it's such a large image in the APE file, and the OGG tagger doesn't like it.

The APE file seems to work fine.

We'll do some testing tomorrow.

Fixed next build.

The reference OGG code uses stack allocation for tag fields, which isn't a good idea since an image can be larger than what the stack can hold.

Anyway, this gave us the opportunity to update to all the latest OGG code.

Thanks.
