I'm unable to reproduce this problem. I'm using Win7 (64-bit), EAC 1.0b3, and the regular LAME 3.99.3 64-bit build from Rarewares . Here's what I have in the External Compression tab: [X ] Use external program for compression Parameter passing scheme: User Defined Encoder Program, including path, used for compression: C:\Users\Foo\apps\lame-3.99.3-64\lame.exe Additional command-line options: -b320 %source% %dest% [X ] Check for external programs return code The other settings don't matter, because it's User Defined Encoder. When I click on the Test encoder button (is this what you're doing?) it says: Used commandline: C:\Users\Foo\apps\lame-3.99.3-64\lame.exe -b320 "etmp9(-47.wav" "etmp9(-47.mp3" Compressor output:LAME 3.99.3 64bits (http://lame.sf.net) CPU features: SSE (ASM used), SSE2 (ASM used) Using polyphase lowpass filter, transition band: 20094 Hz - 20627 Hz Encoding etmp9(-47.wav to etmp9(-47.mp3 Encoding as 44.1 kHz j-stereo MPEG-1 Layer III (4.4x) 320 kbps qval=3 Frame | CPU time/estim | REAL time/estim | play/CPU | ETA 0/ ( 0%)| 0:00/ : | 0:00/ : | x| : 00:08-------------------------------------------------------------------------- kbps % % 0/308 ( 0%)| 0:00/ 0:00| 0:00/ 0:00| 0.0000x| 0:00 00:08-------------------------------------------------------------------------- kbps % % 100/308 (32%)| 0:00/ 0:00| 0:00/ 0:00| 42.824x| 0:00 -------------------------00:05------------------------------------------------- kbps LR MS % long switch short % 200/308 (65%)| 0:00/ 0:00| 0:00/ 0:00| 43.178x| 0:00 -------------------------------------------------00:02------------------------- kbps LR MS % long switch short % 300/308 (97%)| 0:00/ 0:00| 0:00/ 0:00| 43.059x| 0:00 -------------------------------------------------------------------------00:00- kbps LR MS % long switch short % 308/308 (100%)| 0:00/ 0:00| 0:00/ 0:00| 43.257x| 0:00 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- kbps LR MS % long switch short % 320.0 97.7 2.3 98.1 1.3 0.6 Writing LAME Tag...done ReplayGain: -6.9dB Return code: No error occurred Average bitrate: 323 [X] Take over the average bitrate result to the compression options I also confirmed that it worked when I do Alt+V and select a random WAV and a destination folder. Are there any weird characters in the path to lame.exe? Is it possible you have a bad build of LAME? Try with the one I linked to.
