Runtime Error in Songverter

[baransy]

I have a brand new PC, super fast, Windows XL, 2 gigs of ram, 500 gig HD WD external.

At the thought of being able to convert my 6000 karaoke songs from kma to mp3+g ( when I ripped my library with Hoster, I knew of no other options) Now Im stuck with 6000 karaoke songs that took me 3 months to rip and no other program will play them. I have bought Hoser 3 times and as we change computers and / or need to format I cant get Hoster to allow me to re instal the program. So I immediately bought the congverter program (not trial version)

I fought to get the exact suggested lame file in the windows system folder as instructed.

I stopped all programs, office, antivirus to dedicate the machine to this large conversion process.

after 1000 or so converts we get the following message

"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime library"

Program...les\micro technology unlimited\songverter\songverter.exe

this application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual
way. Please contact application support team.

I dont know if the 1000 songs converted are okay or not? I am trying to convert to mp+3 at 192k and dont know if thats best?

Help

Odds are that if the last couple of songs are okay then the other 999 will be as well

If you are talking audio quality it will depend on what the kma's were ripped at. Since wma (the audio portion of a kma) is generally better quality than mp3, you'll have to stick to a higher bit rate for mp3 than what the kma was ripped at. IE: if the kma's were at 128 or less then mp3 at 192 will probably be compareable.

Did you submit any support tickets or support web-emails to have your registration reset? Each copy of Hoster allows you to install it on 2 computers (which means you have licenses for 6 computers if you bought it 3 times).

I am using the demo of Sonverter1.001. I am trying to test convert an MP3+G (combo .MP3 and .CDG) to a KMA for use on my work machine which is running an out of date version of Hoster and cannot read MP3+G. I have all Windows updates and installed the lame encoder recommended in the system32 folder on my machine. I don't want to spend the money on the program until I can verify that it works for my needs.

I keep getting the runtime error with no really useful information.

I am wondering if it might be that I am using a 64 Bit OS?

Any new suggestions?

Here are the specs on my office machine.
Custom built
Gigabyte GA-M55 Plus S3G Ver 1.0
AMD Athlon 64 3800 AM2 Processor 2.4GHz
1024MB DDR2 Ram 533MHz
300GB 7200RPM WD SATA 3 drive
Windows Vista64 Home Premium
Dual Plextor PX-712A Burners
SoundBlaster Audigy 2

If there are any other specs or questions that need to be answered I would be more than happy to answer them.

Please help,

Jon
