Hi smst! I was inspired by your article to try converting my own copy of the same music from multi-channel ac3 into something that my SB3 could deal with. Unfortunately, I could not get an uncorrupted copy of spdifconvert.zip from the forum, so I decided to try another (hopefully simpler) route. It didn't work, however, so possibly you can point me in some other direction...
All I did was load my 6-channel AC3 file into foobar2000, and convert directly to 6-channel FLAC. Easy enough, and fast as fast. I checked the resulting FLACs, and they are great, play back beautifully through Foobar2000, though rather large, as you would expect. Fight Test, for example, is a 76Meg FLAC from a 14Meg AC3. So now I scan the FLACs into my slimserver library, no problems. The trouble comes when I try to *play* them. I get "Ran out of decoder data memory" on my SB3 screen, then the screen craps out with garbage, and I have to give it a hard reboot to recover. No problem with 2-channel FLAC files at all. Do you think that my conversion process is flawed, or is the problem somewhere else? Thanks heaps for your good work, LeeBB -- LeeBorkman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LeeBorkman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2889 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19260 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
