MKV troubles

[mikelly1673]

Problem Description

vidcoder is not encoding any of the MKV files i have been downloading. i have to encode them with handbrake to mp4 then it will encode the new file.

What version of VidCoder are you running?

9.20

Encode Log

No response

[RandomEngy]

Is the encode failing? Can you post an encode log?

[mikelly1673]

i dont have any logs because when i hit the encode button, it tries to encode but the timer never moves and when i try t0o cancel the job it does nothing.i can't even close the program i have to ctrl+alt+delete to run task master to kill program before i can even try again. i am running the latest stable version 9.20. also i am not new to vidcoder i have been using it for several years now. Thank you

I just released v10 to stable. You could try it there. From the looks of it, the failure is coming from the HandBrake core that VidCoder uses.

Ty that seems to be working now.
