In any event - i believe the new version of TLH will fix it!

If it's only one track the SBE is at the end!

Just leave it, it doesn't matter.

But if it's just one track in the middle of the set you need to run a fix on the whole set. Whether or not you should skip the files that don't need fixing is your choice I believe, but it will need the files before and after the one with the SBE in order to fix it properly since data is shifted onto or from the other tracks.

ah cool thanks, why did i have to delete the tracked show i tried fixing it after tracked but all the tracks got skipped in tlh and batchenc

Are you sure it had an SBE in there?

What do you mean "had to delete the tracked show"?

Haha. I misread that too. I was wondering why you guys weren't concerned if it was in the middle of the set, thinking there was more than one track.

spontabmark, my previous post only applies if you have a show with more than one track. I misread your initial post.

If you tracked the show you may have solved the problem by doing so.

i mean i tracked the show, then deleted it because of the SBE and i needed the space only to find out now that it would've been fine

i fixed it now though after updating TLH and using pad mode

So wait a minute. If you tracked the show, then it must've had more than one track. Was the SBE on the last track?

I can't wait to use the new and approved TLH! I might have to start downloading from Dime to find a shw with SBE's

yeah, but when i tried to fix it with the other files all the other files got skipped because of something and it said can't fix single file SBE. and now i've fixed it on the one long track, just finshed putting tracks in and just before i save it the damn thing crashes

But he said it's a show 'that's only one track'. I took that to mean the whole show it is one single track. However, you all took it to mean that the show has multiple tracks, but only one of those tracks has an SBE. That's probably what he really meant.

In order to fix an SBE properly you must start fixing from the first track that has an SBE down to and including the last track of that musical cluster. You do NOT need to bother with the tracks that come before the first flawed track. BUT if you want to convert to a different format while fixing, you should include all the tracks and use the -noskip argument so that all tracks will be converted.

The exception to this is if only the first track of a set has an SBE then you can fix just that track by prepadding the front of it. This is much quicker than fixing everything that follows.

So you mean to say it was just the last track that had an SBE? Then just pad the end. You can't 'fix' one file in fix mode. I've lost track of how many times that's been said here.
