Trying to covert mp3 to ogg - VLC is not writing to the file

I have version 3.0.20 Vetinari
I do the following steps:
- Media -> Convert/Save (Open media box appears)
- Add, then select the mp3 file I want to convert
- At the bottom of the 'Open Media' box, click the down arrow next to Convert/Save, and select Convert
- in Profile, I select "Audio - Vorbis (OGG)"
- (Convert radio button is already selected - I don't touch that)
- In the "Destination File" textbox, I put the path where I want to save my file (C:\users\owner\desktop\name of file.ogg)
after running, the resulting file is 0 bytes, in OGG format.
HELP! Did I miss a step?

It looks like it's trying to encode the cover to Vorbis for some reason:
Code: Select all
main debug: looking for encoder module matching "jpeg": 24 candidates
main debug: no encoder modules matched
stream_out_transcode error: cannot find audio encoder (module:jpeg fourcc:vorb). Take a look few lines earlier to see possible reason.
I've tried with MP3 files containing embedded covers and the conversion works for me.
Please upload your
original problematic file to WeTransfer.com or Disroot.org and then post the link to the file here.

Conversion to OGG/Vorbis works for me with your file.
Make sure everything has full write access to C:\temp folder.
Reset the preferences (the manual way) and try again:

SUCCESS! File created.
Guess I muxed it up from a previous project.
Will need to reset before each project.
