Windows 7 Error: 0xc00d36b2 While Editing MP3 Tags

[JHickey]

Hello everyone, I am having a strange problem while trying to edit tags in an MP3 file, and any help will be greatly appreciated. It seems that I encounter this problem with FLV files converted to MP3 files with the program Format Factory. I never encountered this problem on Vista, so it appears to be a Windows 7 problem. Any time I try to edit the title, album artist, or any information on the file such as that, I get error 0xc00d36b2. I've also tried searching for this error code, but haven't gotten anything helpful. I have attached an image of the error as well. Thanks in advance!

It looks like you're encountering an issue when trying to edit tags in an MP3 file on Windows 7, specifically after converting FLV files to MP3 using Format Factory. The error code 0xc00d36b2 generally relates to problems with media file formats or codecs within Windows Media Player. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:

Troubleshooting Steps:​

1. Use Alternative Tag Editors: Try using alternative MP3 tag editors like Mp3tag, MusicBrainz Picard, or TagScanner. These tools offer more advanced features for tagging MP3 files and may help bypass the issue.
2. Update Windows Media Player: Ensure Windows Media Player is up to date. Sometimes updating the player can resolve compatibility issues with different file formats.
3. Check File Attributes: Verify that the file attributes are not set to read-only. Right-click on the file, go to Properties, and make sure the file is not set to read-only.
4. Convert the File Format Using a Different Tool: If the issue persists, try converting the FLV files to MP3 using a different conversion tool to see if the problem lies with the conversion process itself.
5. Check File Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to edit the file. Right-click on the file, go to Properties, and under the Security tab, check if your user account has permission to modify the file.
6. Reinstall Format Factory: If the issue seems to stem from the conversion process done by Format Factory, consider reinstalling Format Factory to ensure that all components are working correctly.
7. Update Codecs: Update your system codecs or install a codec pack like K-Lite Codec Pack to ensure that you have the necessary codecs to handle different file formats.

   Additional Tips:​

   • Before making changes, create a backup of your original file to prevent accidental data loss.
   • Double-check that the file is not currently in use by any other application, which might prevent you from editing its tags.
   If these steps do not resolve the issue, it might be helpful to explore alternative tag editors or conversion methods to accomplish your task. Feel free to provide more information if you need further assistance!
