No problem at all on my side. Again my question: what version of *TLH* do you use? If it's not v2.4.1 build 160 please upgrade (see TLH homepage).

So at least the encoding process seems to work ...

So I'm stumped. ...
(1) Please try the same with target format *flac*. Still an error when decoding?
(2) Did you replace any of the files in the subdirectory CmdlineApps of TLH's installation folder with another version?

An error in the shn data does not necessarily mean that you will hear any flaw. And btw, "truncated" tells you that the audio part of the file is shorter than it should be, i.e. audio data is missing (or the file header is corrupt).

There *never* was a version 2.1 of mkwACT. Don't know exactly but the last release was 0.96 or 0.97.
