Provide more info about why "Convert Format" failed
« 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]

0015538: 9160: Encoders: CVideoConverterDX::BuildGraph: Finish (1432 ms)

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

I experienced a similar problem. I attempted to convert 10 'dsf' file types to 'flac'. Image and log file attached. Any insight into why this error is occurring and how to fix it would be appreciated.

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.

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.

Matt & Hendrik,

Thanks for the info and DSP sampling reduction suggestion.

Cheers,
Lawrence

Any clues as to why the original post fails? It plays back as is fine in MC

The original file seems to have bad FPS data. You can probably use a mode without AutoFPS for it to work.
