I'm using a batch script to convert WAV files to WMA (VBR 100 96/24/2) on an
XP x64 system, with 2 NTFS drives.

I'm specifying the input filename as a full file/path name, and specifying
the output folder (without the filename).

The problem is, that the first file created in each output folder by WME is
badly named. It's always copied by WME as ".wma". All subsequent files in
each folder are correct.

So, for example, if I specify:
-input "D:\My Music\Artist\Album\Track1.wav" -output "E:\New
Music\Artist\Album\"
... it creates the file E:\New Music\Artist\Album\.wma
If I then specify (the very next line in the batch file, with no other
changes to WME settings, profiles, etc):
-input "D:\My Music\Artist\Album\Track2.wav" -output "E:\New
Music\Artist\Album\"
.. it creates E:\New Music\Artist\Album\Track2.wma
... which is correct!


You didn't use real world filenames there, so I wonder if the path to
Track1.wav contains some sort of OS prohibited characters or
international UTF-16 characters for filenames.

What happens if you reverse sort the file list before running the
batch encode - does the problem still appear for the same file, or
does it appear for what's now the new first-filename in the list ?

I can't rule out this is a potential bug in the 64 bit encoder, but I
don't have an XP64 to test using. It sounds like something which if
present in the encoder 64, would affect everybody but you've got the
additional complication

The best thing would be to post the complete bath encoder script along
with a representative but limited list of file paths to run against
which reproduces the problem. I can definitely test it against the
WME32 on Win2000 Vista and XP.
