Program error when using format factory

Asked By Jacob Nelson 0 points N/A Posted on - 09/25/2012

 

Hello guys,

I have just installed the program Format Factory to convert AVI to 3GP format, and it was installed successfully. When I started the conversion, it started smoothly but Unfortunately at the end of the conversion I received an error message. The screenshot of the error message is as follows:

Program Error

The program FormatFactory.exe has encountered a serious problems and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

This can be caused by a problem in the program or a deficiency in WINE. You may want to check https://appdb.winehq.org/ for tips about running this application. If this problem is not present under Windows and has not been reported yet, you can
report it at https://bugs.winehq.org/.

Can anyone please tell me why did this error might have appeared on my screen.

Waiting to hear from you all

Thanks in advance

Jacob

Program error when using format factory

Hello Jacob Nelson,

 

You may have to use Windows OS because Format Factory runs only in Windows. One way to do it is to dual boot your computer to be able to run Windows.

Another way is to use VMware or any Virtual Machine software and install a Windows OS inside. It might cause problems if your computer's hardware is not up-to-date. To get an idea on how Virtual Machine is this is the best I can give.

Hope this helps.

Program error when using format factory

It seems you are running Format Factory on Linux and not on Windows. The program doesn’t have a version for your operating system or is not available on Linux but there should be no problem running Windows applications with Wine. If you receive an error when running Format Factory on Wine, try updating Wine to the latest then install the latest version of Format Factory.

For Wine, go to WineHQ and download the latest version. Once Wine is updated, download the latest Format Factory and install it. This should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use ImTOO MPEG Encoder to convert your video files to another format. It supports Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.x, and Windows 10.

It requires 1 GHz Intel or equivalent AMD or faster processor, 256 MB RAM, 50 MB free space, and 16-bit video card.
