encoding wave to mp3

[Seiken]

Something I've done many times in my life, but a certain program's wav output is giving me problems... The program is Minihost by Tobybear (www.tobybear.de). The wav's I export from it play fine in WMP and foobar, but when I try to encode them to mp3, they either turn to shit or just plain don't encode.

dbPowerAmp says "ACM codec not installed", but it encodes any other wav (just not wavs from Minihost... even though they play in media players).

Lame from a dos prompt just turns them into noise/hiss/fuzz/garbage.

Any ideas? Is this something I can fix? Or is it something to do with the way Minihost is writing wav's? Thanks.

cant use dbpoweramp to rip wavs off cd's?? and then encode.

I'm not really sure what you're trying to say... but I'll try responding anyway, hehe.

I am not trying to encode CDs. I am trying to encode wav files of myself playing virtual synthesizers through Minihost.

Can you open and save the wavs in another wav editor like nero, then encode?

[Seiken]

Haven't tried... I'm doing this at work when I get bored, so it's all free software. I guess I could try opening/saving in Windows Sound Recorder, haha.

Thanks for the idea.
