    Hi All,

    I am using a utility which will convert IMF packages to DPP/ITUNES. This utility uses ffmpeg and bmx tools internally.
    I came across an error where the mxf2raw was failing with the error, base_uri.isAbsolute:false and saying
    cannot load audio file. Could some one please help me what could be the reason for this failure.

    Please find the below exact error:
    ERROR: 'base_uri.IsAbsolute()' check failed
    ERROR: near ......\src\common\URI.cpp:229
    ERROR: Failed to open MXF file '

    Thanks

    I can't see what could be causing this. I had a look at the code and I think the only reason this check could fail is if get_cwd() (which calls getcwd) doesn't return an absolute directory path or the URI parser doesn't detect that the return value of get_cwd() is an absolute directory path.

    Are you running mxf2raw on Windows? Are you running in a directory that has a path something like C:.... It the audio file a local disk file?

    Do you get the same error if you run mxf2raw directly on the audio file, outside the IMF conversion tool?
