RE: [Avid-L2] MC 5.5.3 upgrade kills mp3 import

 

I recently had an issue where Sorensen squeeze wouldn't encode mp3's anymore. I narrowed it down to having happened after updating flash or something like that. It killed some file associations. I ended up re-installing squeeze and quicktime, then re-associating mp3's with quicktime and it started encoding mp3's again. It was strange and a big PITA to figure out.

I've had multiple reports from assistants no longer able to import .mp3s as well. They tried opening and re-saving in QT Pro, etc. with no luck. The only work around seems to be open in iTunes and export as .wav or .aif.

Not sure if this started with 5.5.3 or an earlier 5.5.x. Worked normally in 5.0.x.

I'll test this myself soon and open a support ticket with Avid.
