Error Converting FSB to MP3

Hi

I'm still relatively new to foobar2000.

When converting some FSB files to MP3, I received an error message regarding a select number of them.
Here's an example:

Quote
Source: "C:\Users\user\Music\Transformers\Transformers - Fall of Cybertron\L01_01_MX_ON_THE_ARK_1.fsb" / index: 1
  An error occurred while writing to file (The encoder has terminated prematurely with code -1 (0xFFFFFFFF); please re-check parameters) : "C:\Users\user\Music\Transformers\Transformers - Fall of Cybertron\L01_01_MX_ON_THE_ARK_1.mp3"
  Additional information:
  Encoder stream format: 44100Hz / 6ch / 16bps
  Command line: "C:\Program Files (x86)\foobar2000\encoders\lame.exe" -S --noreplaygain -b 320 - "L01_01_MX_ON_THE_ARK_1.mp3"
  Working folder: C:\Users\user\Music\Transformers\Transformers - Fall of Cybertron\
 
  Conversion failed: The encoder has terminated prematurely with code -1 (0xFFFFFFFF); please re-check parameters

I was converting 150 FSB files, but only around 47 of them gave me this message.

Any solutions to this?

Thank you

Your source file has 6 channels. MP3 only supports stereo. Add "Downmix channels to stereo" DSP to your encoder preset.

I already had that specific DSP enabled and it still doesn't work.

There was nothing remotely different between those 47 FSB files and the other 103, so I don't know why they won't convert when they did.

You added it to the encoder preset? Because enabling a DSP for playback has no effect on conversion.
