Vidcoder just hangs at 0.2% converting DVD to MKV

[Kwongmanlung]

I saw a post where RandomEngy asked the user to see if unchecking 'Use Worker Process to Encode' helped, and doing so seems to have solved my problem. Does this suggest what is wrong with my computer?

thanks

Without details I can't tell you what is going wrong. You could post an encode log to see if anything in the logs indicates an issue. But I have come across issues in the past with software that interferes with the inter-process communication.

Are you able to encode anything at all or is the issue just with DVDs converting to MKV?

Thank you for the reply. I turned 'Use Worker Process to Encode' back on and it is no longer hanging like before, but I found the log files. Even after the dvd is read to show chapters, etc, I see reference to the source (Synology NAS) not accessible:

After it hangs, I use task manager to kill the process, since clicking the 'x' or stopping application in the tool bar doesn't work.

Hmm, if it's a problem with the source not being accessible, it might not have to do with whether we are using the worker process or not.
