When I'm trying to convert any FLAC to AAC I get two different error in status column. 1. No output file was produced: check the encoding command line parameters which may be configured incorrectly in the File Converter Preferences. 2. Process with ID xxxx isn't executed.
The command line is the following: -s -V 127 --ignorelength - -o [outputfile]
I use the qaac 2.64

That command works for me without an error.
Try with latest qaac (v2.66) and also try with its recommended example code for MB.

I tried both, but it didn't help. Before my update to 3.2 it worked or maybe I forgot how to install it properly.

Nothing to install. Just copy the exe file and two dll files to MB's Codec folder and select the file in the AAC converter setting.

Yes, recently I've had problems with wave, but Steven fixed it.
UPD: No, Ogg encoder has the same issue

Then I have no idea. Steven may know what the issue is.

Nothing to install.

I forgot it requires Apple Application Support. You should have either iTunes or QuickTime installed: https://github.com/nu774/qaac/wiki/Installation

What would you recommend if I don't want to bloat my pc with apple soft?
UPD: I've installed iTunes for 64-bit OS and it helped, thank you very much

Instead of qaac?
I only used nero and qaac for AAC. You will have to test yourself for others:

No, I ment a way to avoid installing iTunes. Anyway thanks for the help, I think the topic should be removed to questions thread.

This makes sense: https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,107699.0.html

If you try it, let us know if it works. Personally I need iTunes anyway for syncing to my iPhone.

I found another solution, it could be convenient for those who has already installed iTunes it's possible to delete unnecessary components through windows control panel leaving only AppleApplicationSupport.
The method with 7-zip (from the link above) works fine, too.
I have a stupid question, is there any technical profit using encoder for 64-bit OS in MB for 32-bit?

Thanks for the report! Must be useful to other users.

@Steven, what's your thought?
