Wrong file error message on MPC1000

I am having problems with my MPC 1000 giving me a message of WRONG FILE when I try and load samples with wave ext. I have some DVDs from Big Fish that I really like but I am getting frustrated cause I can't load them. Help in a hurry, Please.

they need to be 16 bit 44.1 kHz

if its not the file format, it could be the buggy akai os - im sure people were complaining about some akai formatting problem givig 'wrong file' messages, but i could be wrong.

do a search for 'wrong file' it comes up quite a lot and could help....

I got it figured out. It was the bit rate. MPC 1000 and 2500 only read 16 bit. I got it dithered down and now I am groovin'!
Peace.

Hey Fan I'm having the same issue, How did you correct it?...One1

It's the bit rate. MPC 1000 and 2500 only read 16 bit. MPC 5000 reads 24. You need to load it in an audio editor and dither down to 16 bit.
