Title: Converting
Post by: einar on March 30, 2006, 01:01:15 pm

Hey
I have just purchased Media Center 11. Have upgraded to v.11.1.144. Got a problem with converting files from mp3 > wma. At first it worked. Now it gives me files at 5 kb. and zero playtime. What is wrong?. I haven´t changed any parameters.

I think that's MC trying to tell you that WMA is the devil's file format and that you'd be better off sticking with MP3.

But seriously... Is it with all files? Can you post the File Type Info (from File Properties) of one of the files that it does this to? Do you have any of the original MP3 files that you did successfully convert that you can test again to see if those still work?

Hey again
Thank´s for speedy reply.
It does the same with all the mp3´s. And when I try to go back to mp3 from wma. It tells me that converting fails. I have downloaded mp3 encoder from this site.

Einar--
This is off-topic to your question, but you should be aware that converting from one lossy format to another will degrade the sound.  If you're determined to do this, try it with a couple of tracks and A/B the results, just to be sure.
