Can't writeout audio with cuesheet - "acmStreamconvertfailed"

[slipkid]

I'm having problems using IMGBURN 2.4.0.0 on my old Win98SE PC writing out CD-audio with cuesheets and can't figure out what's wrong. Maybe it is just some very stupid configuration setting error on my part but I'm stumped...

 

IMGBURN starts to write then gives an error of:

 

"acmStreamConvertfailed

reason - device handle is invalid"

 

At first I thought it was the media I was using since I was trying to use a new (crappy) type so I switched to tried and true Taiyo-Yudens but they fail the exact same way. I even tried varying the writespeeds - same error.

 

Then I thought my old Plextor Premium burner might be dying but I was able to write out non-audio stuff fine with IMGBURN so that's doesn't appear to be it (whew).

 

Then I thought maybe these cuesheets were corrupt in some way, so I loaded them into the write interface of EAC and they worked 100% fine, so there isn't anything fishy there either that I can see.

 

Also there is nothing fancy in the cuesheets, just one straight WAV file with trackmarks.

 

I searched up here for "acmstreamconvertfailed" and found 2 threads but neither of them apply to what I'm doing.

 

Here is an example of one of the cuesheets:

 

FILE "x cd2.wav" WAVE

Any ideas? Regardless of this strange issue THX for this great program!

This is why I release new versions of the program.

I'm sorry Lightning but I don't understand your reply.

 

Are you saying it is a bug (possibly fixed in a newer version) or are you making some kind of sarcastic reply, insulting me in some way I don't understand, because I said something wrong or offended you?? If I did I strongly apologize, I meant no offense, I was just trying to figure this out.

He meant you're using an older version of ImgBurn, and that bug has been fixed, so please download and install the latest version available.

[LIGHTNING UK!]

My reply was indeed sarcastic. Sorry, that's just my sense of humour.

 

Update ImgBurn and that problem will cease to exist.

Thanks, I am truly an idiot. I actually have 2.4.2.0 but 4got to install it, thought I already was using the latest one, realize now I'm not. Plus I could've sworn I worked with these types of cuesheets b4 with no problems, but maybe I was thinking about my other PC.....

 

Happy Holidaze!

[LIGHTNING UK!]

You probably just had a 'problem' file that directshow didn't work for, hence the ACM fallback method kicks in and that had a bug in the version you were running.

THANKS for your help. The new version works with this kind of cuesheet now :-)

 

However I notice something strange that this version is doing which the older versions never did which I do not understand (and if possible I would like to disable it) so I will ask about that in a different thread.

 

P.S. Merry xmas & happy new year!
