Having trouble with LRF to MOBI conversion

[djkoble]

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the place to post this but I guess I can start here.
I am trying to convert a short book from the LRF format to the MOBI format and am getting an error that prevents the conversion.
The error output is as follows:

calibre, version 0.8.60
ERROR: Conversion Error: <b>Failed</b>: Convert book 1 of 1 (The Big U)

I can of course send the ebook for inspection if warrented.
Thanks for any help,

It doesn't look as if you included the entire output. The end includes details of the error and it isn't in your post.

Hi,
I just checked this attempted conversion again and the error output I pasted is the complete error output.
If it is missing something then the conversion process must be dying before the output is complete I'm guessing.

calibre only supports LRF files that it itself has generated, as I never finished reverse engineering the LRF format. If you have an LRF file generated by some other tool, the conversion may or may not work.

I see. Thanks for the information.
