MP3 playback problems

Postby Davey » Wed Oct 22, 2008 23:02

Hi,

I just made an MP3 using the MP3 handler - I'm running v6 SP1 on native - and I notice that when I place it up onto a timeline it sputters and drops out during playback. The original 16 bit 44.1 audio (on the same EDL right next to it) plays without a problem. I tried making the MP3 as a render and as a mixdown and tried some different MP3 settings. It always seems to have this problem. I suspected it may be a playback issue so I played the MP3 in windows media player and it was fine. Has anyone else encountered this? Is it a bug with v6? I remember doing this with v5 without a problem.

Uh, pardon my ignorance, but there's an MP3 handler? The manual has nothing to say about this, and neither does my pricelist of add-on features. What is this?

It does not officially exist and you didn't hear that from me...

Write to support@merging (while wearing a trench coat) and ask about it.
