I've been using VidCoder for a few years without any major problems, when recently it no longer is able to reencode anything.
I usually convert larger mkv files to smaller mp4. Nothing has changed as far as hardware or software. The only thing I can think of is that I changed the settings to encode to h265, got distracted by something, and forgot I did so, then spent some time wondering why the conversion was taking so much longer than normal. It's possible I changed a few settings during that time (before I realised the obvious and changed back to 264), but as far as I've been able to check, the settings are no different.
The log is below for anyone kind enough to help out. Thanks.
