The QuickTime library (not the player - you can choose not to install this) is required for encoding .m4a, but only if you have Windows Vista or Windows XP. If you are using Windows 7 or higher and you are asked to install QuickTime, then there could be an error. You can find out what the error is by going to:

Help > Utilities > Display Log Text file of Yellow/Green Messages...

If there was an error converting to .m4a, the error would start with "Media Foundation failed to convert to .m4a". It would be very helpful if you could let us know the error number.

This is what I found Blake on W7 64bit Ultimate:

That is the only occurrence in the file from 21-Nov until today.
