I have been using MCE buddy successfully a long time now. I tried using this profile found on your forum:

The program runs through to the point of conversion, then fails. My video card is a 1030 my driver version is 397.64 running on windows 7x64 with ffdshow (mpeg 2 and avi enabled) and halli media splitter installed. If someone could help me get this running, My CPU (Q6600 with loud fan) and I surely thank you. Uploaded the 3 logs

From you log file:

2018-10-14T14:19:56 MCEBuddy.AppWrapper.FFmpeg → Cannot load nvEncodeAPI64.dll
2018-10-14T14:19:56 MCEBuddy.AppWrapper.FFmpeg → [hevc_nvenc @ 0000000008bc1d80] The minimum required Nvidia driver for nvenc is 378.66 or newer

Use the recommended version of the NVidia driver

My driver version is newer… 397.64, Are you recommending a downgrade to 378.66?

Try it, that’s the error from ffmpeg, basically it can’t load your graphics driver modules. It could be a bad install or an unsupported version.
