Hello,

When I try to SaveAs a file with my following MP3 parameters
my app crashes, but curiously it works fine when using the following
lines for WAV. Do you have any idea ?

ISfRenderer rend = appSF.FindRenderer("MP3 Audio .mp3)",".mp3");
ISfGenericPreset preset = rend.GetTemplate("Default Template");

//ISfRenderer rend = appSF.FindRenderer("Microsoft(Wave)","WAV");
//ISfGenericPreset preset = rend.GetTemplate("Default Template");

// Transformation du fichier
appSF.OpenFile(file,false,false);

ISfDataWnd wnd = appSF.ActiveWindow;
if (wnd != null)
{
ISfFileHost FileMusic = wnd.File;
FileMusic.SaveAs("c:\toto.mp3",rend.Guid, preset, RenderOptions.OverwriteExisting);
}

What if you change this line:

ISfRenderer rend = appSF.FindRenderer("MP3 Audio .mp3)",".mp3");

To this:

ISfRenderer rend = appSF.FindRenderer("MP3 Audio","MP3");

Thank you for your reply, I've tried your line but it doesn't
work better. In fact I've tried with the batch script too but it
can't convert my file either. (An error message is displayed)

Here's how I did it in my BatchConvert script


//Set the new file name
newFile = bcDestBox.Text + newFile + rend.Extension;
//Get the selected preset from the dropdown box
ISfRenderer rend = (ISfRenderer)forge.Renderers[cmbFormat.SelectedIndex];
//Use the "default" preset
preset = rend.GetTemplate(0);
//Set the render options
RenderOptions opt = new RenderOptions();
opt = RenderOptions.OverwriteExisting;
//Save to the new file type
forgefile.RenderAs(newFile, rend.Guid, preset, new SfAudioSelection(0,-1), opt);


I tried "SaveAs" but it didn't seem to work as well as "RenderAs" for this purpose at the time.


You can also try my Batch Convert script

Make sure you've registered the mp3 plug-in (by saving one from within Sound Forge).

Thank you for your answers. I tried the jetdv's batchconverter
and I still have the same error.

Could you just explain to me how to register a mp3 plug-in
in Sound Forge. (and where I can find this plug-in).

What I have to say also, is that everything works perfectly well when I do it manually.

I got the same error but I know that MP3 is NOT registered on the machine I tested on. (i.e. click on "Custom" and it now tells me I have 19 more uses).

If you have not registered the MP3 plugin, then you can encode up to 20 times manually before it refuses.

Until you register, you cannot batch encode or script encode at all.

To Register,

Choose Save As from the File menu.
Set the Save as type to MP3 Audio
Choose the Custom... button next to the Template
There should be a Register button on the dialog that pops up,
there should also be an indication of how many of the 20 encodes you
have used up.

Just tested on another computer on which the MP3 encoder IS registered and the process worked fine.
