mp3 WITH .ewc, now not importing

[zvit]

In Edius 4.6 I used an mp3 file that even has an .ewc file for it (a wave conformed file) but when I try to import it into Edius 5, it won't open it!

(Please see 2 attached screen image files)

My solution is to convert the mp3 to mp3 in any convertion program and then it will import.

Why is this? Any solutions?

try G-Spot

if you see "VBR" ==> imho not supported in Edius 5
in 4.61 it works "VBR" most, but not always

not all mp3 files can be imported, especially variable bitrate ones

Are you saying that VBR can be imported into Edius 4.6 and not in Edius 5? That doesn't make sense. As you can see, I have used this file in the past with Edius 4.6 and that is how I have an .ewc file. Edius 4.6 created it.

yes, that is correct, there are several things that worked in Edius4.6 that should not have worked, so I heard

I'm not surprised... and the waveforms are not the issue.
Open in Audacity and Save as .wav...

All will be well.

ihmo working with wav files is way better

The reason why VBR audio is a NO NO - because it will cause sync problems ... MUCH better to use WAV at a fixed sampling rate (44.1khz or 48khz).

I too convert ALL my mp3/wma files to .wav for editing.
