FAQ & Known Bugs

Large stream's sample is not visible

D3D reports OK for FillVertexBuffer() but it's not rendered.
Adjusting D3D resolution in Settings can limit the maximal resolution for sample display (the line count). If you're having problems with the sample display (there is no sample display) try lowering this value and make sure you are using the latest graphics card drivers. Minimal recommended value is 500 000, a modern graphics card can handle a couple million triangles.
Lowering D3D resolution also speeds up rendering. If display is lagging, rendering takes up too much CPU/GFX time, again lower this value and/or turn off the graphics driver's 3D full screen antialiasing. However turning FSAA on will result a better looking sample display.


Subsongs not loading

Check the Temporary folder - Settings/Saving page. Does it exists? Is there enough space on the partition?


Corrupted .b4s files

There can be cases when Tag data is corrupted within streams. Writing these Tags's data into Playlist files, can result in an unusable Playlist file.
MP4 Stream Editor will fail to load this currupted playlist file. Try to edit with a TextEditor, if you can repeair these files, and load them afterwards.
MP4 Stream Editor has basic error tolerance, but this is limited to line-by-line loading.


Visualize a chip tune

Load parallax.mod, select it and play it, check Vis Spectrum plugin to visualize how beautiful it is playing with sound frequencies.


Modify/create an icon theme

You can edit the .res files (create new with a copy) with a resource editor like Resource Hacker. You should add a name to it in: STRID/THEMENAME and save it as a file name res_*.dll.


Startup faster

From "..\MP4 Stream Editor\Plugins\" delete (or rename) the plugins that you don't use. They are IDd from "p_*.dll". This will make the startup A LOT FASTER!


Opening Playlists with dynamic entries (from CD/DVD etc.)

MP4 Stream Editor will search for the missing entries it couldn't load from the specified location, so add the folder to the favorite folders list (Settings:Savings/Favorite folders "+" button) and open the playlist normally. If the file names match MP4 Stream Editor will find the entries.


Command line options

  • Join multiple MP3 files:
    	MP4StreamEditor.exe -J "Output file.mp3" "First.mp3" "Second.mp3" "Third.mp3" ...
    	
  • Repair MP3 files: Command line options for quick repairing files:

    • -r Normal error correction
    • -R Error correction with repeat frames
      "MP4StreamEditor.exe -R C:\BadFile1.mp3 C:\BadFile2.mp2" will output C:\BadFile1_Repaired.mp3 and C:\BadFile2_Repaired.mp2
