View Full Version : v7.0.1.27 - can't manually convert flv anymore?

I just got prompted to upgrade to version 7.0.1.27. In previous versions, I was able to convert flv files by dragging/dropping them onto the main screen, selecting them, and then hitting ALT+C, which would convert them using the settings I had in the conversion dropdown. This was very useful.

After upgrading to version 7.0.1.27, this doesn't seem to work anymore. If I drag an flv into the window the mouse pointer changes to the circle with a slash in it cursor, and nothing happens on drop - the file simply doesn't appear in the list. After consulting the help file, I also tried importing the flv via ALT+I but that doesn't work either.

I tested whether automatic conversion is still happening when I stream a flash vid from a site and that still seems to work as before, but the ability to manually convert a standalone flv on my computer seems to have been disabled or removed (although it's still listed as a feature in the help file). This is a pity since it's one of the many things I used RMC for. Without this I guess I'll use VLC or something but it's nice to be able to do it all in one program.

Any ideas why this stopped working?

Did you reboot your computer after installing the update? If not please see if that makes a difference. Also, we do have Replay Converter that is meant to convert files for you.

Thanks for replying. I was pretty sure I'd rebooted since the upgrade but I went ahead and rebooted again just to be certain and lo and behold (eye roll), converting via drag and drop is working again :-) Thank you very much!
