EAC and LAME trouble

[homIcIde]

For some reason i cannot get lame to compress files after i extract them using eac. the wav extraction goes fine and then i see the lame window pop up for a split second and then disappear (its almost just a flash). No matter what i try i cant get it to compress. I know i have eac pointed to the lame.exe and all that. Im using ive tried lame 3.96, 3.95, and 3.90 and am using eac 0.95 prebeta5

It get the same with ogg.

Are you getting your files from www.rarewares.org? If so the ICL 8.1 compilies might have some quirks. Ttry the ICL 7.1 files.

I've had that same thing happen on a couple new installs. I was out of ideas so I double clicked on the lame.exe. It comes up and goes away real quick. Then I tried EAC again and what do you know, it worked. I've had to do this on 3 different computers and I couldn't tell you how or why, but double clicking the lame.exe fixed it.

Good luck.

I tried the double clicking thing - no go there.

Ive tried 4 different versions of LAME, 3 of which im positive are stable versions, and none have worked. However it seems like LAME works when i use it to compress with dbpoweramp. Could it be something wrong with EAC?

Can you post a screenshot of the encoder options panel in EAC?

Dead pict removed.

You're command line is wrong. The --alt was removed after 3.92 I think.

Also, you're missing the %s and %d

It should look something like this (if you're using the "User Defined Encoder" setting) for versions after 3.92.

--preset extreme %s %d

for 3.92 or earlier...

--alt-preset extreme %s %d
