AC3Machine v0.4 - Run-time error '13' - type mismatch

[iago]

@DSPguru

Hi again. I have BeSweet v1.4RC8 and (latest) AC3Machine v0.4 installed. And I continuously get this (well-known ;) error message, though I have the latest visual basic run-time libraries (msvbvm60.dll, msvbvm50.dll) installed. (Using Windows XP.)

Any help would be appreciated ;).

best regards,
iago

[DSPguru]

when exactly do you get it ?
what do you do before it happens ?

[iago]

Oh, DSPguru's lightning fast! ;)

Actually, whatever I try to do... When trying to show the path of BeSweet, or trying to select the input AC3 file, for example. Therefore, in fact, I cannot do anything! ;)

seems like i made a mess. hehe :)
i'll try to see if i can find it. if i won't, i'll have to mail my VBguru, DanniDin :D.

@DSPguru

Well, to be more accurate, vb runtime files are downloaded from http://www.milori.com/developer/runtimes/ a short while ago again ;), but still don't work. MSVBVM60.DLL is 23.08.2001 dated.

Hope the problem gets solved soon,
Kindest regards,

Does anyone else also get those "Run-time error '13': Type mismatch" when running AC3Machine v0.4 and e.g. trying to set the location of besweet.exe or loading and input ac3?

[iago]

@sundance

Yep, unfortunately... And I guess it had been reported before here ;):

I don't have this prob sundance but for me the surround2 is not working. To be more specific, when you transcode an ac3 to a surround2 ac3, the transcoded file does not have sound :confused:. Also when you press the exit button, AC3MACHINE is not saving the settings into the registry. If i want to save the settings i must close it from the X button on the right up corner of the window.
:(

Thanks

@iago,
thanks for the hint; didn't scroll down enough...
But DSPguru is aware of it so we can rest assured ;-)

- try with RC7.
- post your logfile!!

[iago]

@DSPguru

I'm using Windows XP (Professional Edition), which I'd already stated in my first post in the thread ;).

I've got the same error.

I get the error immidiately when i start AC3Machine.

When i clean the settings in the windows registry, it gets a bit further. The program loads and the gui is shown. But when i press anything i get the same error again. I've attached a screenshot.

[jansb000]

I recently downloaded AC3Machine. As soon as I open an AC3 for input I get a "type mismatch error (13)" and the program ends.

Later added: I have XP Home edition.

[Cayne]

For me its the same, i always get that error, when i try to open a file.
I tried on 2 different PCs, 1x win2k, 1x winxp home.
Also tried to install latest VB-Runtimes from M$, but it didn't help.

So whats that?

Sorry for not post earlier this, but I have don't see this post :o
Well, Some time ago I got this same error and to avoid this I
Open Regedit goto: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DanniDin
and del all the keys even DanniDin, but I can't remenber if the
number of the error was the same :rolleyes:

Kyo i'm afraid those keys aren't relevant for AC3Machine.

[Kyo]

Oh yep I know this, but that time they remove this kind of error

single click for selecting inputfile, double click for selecting output file.

in case you ask yourself - why ?
well, in case of inputfile, in most cases - it exists, and then you can pick it, while as for outputfile, in most cases - it doesn't exist.

[iago]

@DSPguru,

Yes, it works for me too! ;)

10x a lot,
iago

[DSPguru]

i guess i can upload a new release.. :)

[gizmau]

when i select 'pop up log file when finished' nothing pops up - why?

when i encode 384kbit ac3 the avg bitrate is reported as 383kbit, allthought ac3 is encoded in full frames and cbr (this due to ac3enc.dll-limitation), afaik. isnt it?

and even when i set the process priority to 'idle', the taskmanager tells me, that it is 'normal'.

[gizmau]

i found out, that the task-priority isnt set correctly in about one of ten cases (maybe even more seldom!) - i will try to point out what the reason for this behaviour is.
