Woh! Haven’t seen that since PT 8! What version of PT are you on?

Take a look at these guidelines for a co-install. It’s important to install each application in the correct order.

More to consider:
1-if your iLok has an old MP3 option license on it, try deactivating it(maybe its confusing things).
2-my Plugins list does not show an MP3 item, but honestly, I'm not sure where it would be(it may not belong there anyway).
3-I just did a search of my C: drive and did not find that exact file. Closest thing was MP3DMOD.DLL and that was found in 4 different places, but none of those were in Avid-related folders.

MP3 export was a paid option for an absurdly long time. Maybe Avid is going back to that

But I'm also guessing the co-install has something to do with it.

Yeah, that should be all good.

WOW!
Did people just use FFMPEG to transcode to MP3?

I still use an ext. converter as I think LAME encoding sounds better than the Fraunhofer codec which is what PT uses.

Sure, it’s an extra step, but it’s hardly the end of the world.

Should be? Are you not sure?
