Right, here’s my problem, had 2.2.2 running fine on Snow Leopard on an old macbook 2,1 Intel Core 2 Duo 2 Ghz Which are 64 bit CPUs, but, and don’t quote me on this, the north-bridge is 32 bit only so it’s limited to 3GB of memory, and Mountain Lion won’t run on it. Everything else other than the kernal_task is Intel (64 bit) in activity monitor.
Upgraded the machine to 10.7.5 (lion), clean install formatted the old hard drive, so I can run 2.3.1. Lame 3.100 Seems to work fine, except when I try to export to MP3, crash error shows an error with libmp3lame64bit.dylib, I’ll put a bit of the crash log at the bottom of the post.
I’ve installed 2.2.2 which uses Lame 3.99.5 on the same setup and that exports MP3s correctly.
So I’m guessing Lame64bit needs a full 64bit system?
Not experimented with FFmpeg yet.
