Cannot Open Output Errors
« on: August 19, 2016, 01:10:08 AM »
Through many processes I am getting this error:
"[CDP] ERROR: INVALID DATA
ERROR: Cannot open output ___ file".

Does anyone know what that is about? I found workarounds for some of these but there are some important processes that seemingly can't be run because of this (repitch getpitch being one).

Edit: Whatever causes this was fixed in 7.1
Edit2: Might as well follow up with an entirely new error. psow ptobrk tells me how to use it no matter what is typed after ptobrk on the command line and I've tried a lot of things from perfectly reasonable to very silly.

I don't know if this is your problem, but often times when I get that error it's because the output file already exists and CDP won't overwrite it.

I forgot to note, this went away with 7.1.

Edit: Oh nevermind I did note that already

Perfecto

Using previous versions I was getting this error when using the correct file extension on the output file name, with 7.1 I get it using the incorrect file extension. Are you sure the process you're trying to use outputs the extension you're using?

Not sure if you found a work around for the error code "[CDP] ERROR: INVALID DATA
ERROR: Cannot open output ___ file".

I was having this problem, after a whole day of trying I replaced all the files in my existing _cdprogs folder with the new ones downloaded from here: http://www.unstablesound.net/cdp.html (the 'for mac' link under the Update 7.1 heading)

This seems to have solved the issue!
