Title: Mac 20 crashes when converting file formats
Post by: hellvis on February 16, 2015, 11:10:09 am

Every time I try to convert file formats, be it a large batch, or one sone, MC20 crashes, generates a long error report, and asks me to reopen....what's the fix ?

What are you converting from?  And to?

What version are you using?  The latest is at the top of this board.

I am having the same problem. I cannot batch DSD to PCM conversions. I have the latest version installed and using the latest version of Yosemite OS X. I can convert only 1 file at a time (2 files or more will crash the program). Any work around on this?

I got this figured out, you can only convert one file at a time when making batch conversions. I had the conversion set to do 2 fils at a time and this was causing the crash.

Are you sure you're using build 20.0.67?  It had a fix for this:
3. Fixed: Crashes in the file converter when using DSP plugins.

I just tested converting a dozen DSD files to ALAC with sample rate conversion enabled and 4 files at a time and it worked fine.

Jim H....it's on a new mac mini, latest version of MC 20, and I'm trying to convert from ALAC to DSD, It does it just fine on my mac book pro.

Hi Jim

It looks like it can still get frozen (using latest version) with a large number of files to convert... I had to go to 1 file at a time to make sure it finished properly.
