wmv output can not be played on media player classic, but can be played on vlc.

Can source be played on media player classic? In general, Simple Video Cutter uses ffmpeg to perform conversion, so if something is wrong with the output file, then it is probably caused by ffmpeg. But I rather think the opposite - media player classic may not support this format (codec?)

Just to note: one can try to create a custom profile in order to pass custom options to ffmpeg.

Yes, MPC can play it.

If ffmpeg do lossless, than the codec should be the same.

Do you maybe have a n example of such file? Maybe one of videos found on https://filesamples.com/categories/video ?
