Hey,
I’ll cut to the chase.
I wanted to render a test video purely for myself and I wanted to see it in high quality, so I rendered it to lossless and encoded it with MEGUI.
However, it said there was an error with the 3rd task in the queue of MEGUI. I decided to try again and the problem persisted.
I thought it might be due to the render, so I re-rendered the same video (slightly different, because I had worked on it a little more) and to the same result.
I tried encoding a completely different movie and that worked.
I thought it might be the audio but when I tried that it STILL didn’t work.

I was googling for a fix but they were all in technical gibberish.

I’m stumped, any suggestions?
Thanks,
Stark

megui is pretty bad, just use ffmpeg.

command lines i use for stuff:

replace %AVINOEXT% with the path to your mp4 without the extension, it’s just copy/pasted from a batch script i made.

I’ll try ffmpeg but could you tell me where to put all this code?

Where do I find the error message?
