Problem opening MP2 128bps files -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:Problem opening MP2 128bps files Posted by: omilandsound Date:3/31/2004 11:53:46 PM Hi all I'm new to the forum. Can anyone tell me how to open an MP2 128 kbps file? Sound Forge gives me this error message: "The file format plugin for the specified format was not properly initialized." Any body help?

MP3s work OK in SF7, but I got a message after working on a few files that I needed to register the mp3-codec (or something) with Sony. This was accomplished automatically on this internet-connected PC. I had to perform the registration both from SF and Vegas.

I have a new Marantz digital recorder and used it last night with a mixer and mics setup. The factory set default for the unit when recording stereo line in is MP2 128kbps. I just found out how to change that setting to MP3, but unfortunately, I have a couple hrs of MP2 that I still need to deal with HELP!!!

If it's not really MPEG-2 and you can find and install a compatible acm codec, then Sound Forge would be able to use that. Otherwise, there's probably some shareware out there that will be adequate for a one-off conversion. You could also just re-record analog playback from the Marantz into Sound Forge. There may be some loss of quality from the additional conversions, but you can't beat the price. J.
