Can't Copy Video to MP4

General Support / Questions Profiles
1

I’m trying to setup MCEBuddy to look for files that have a video bitrate of <1900kbps. Once identified, I’d like the video to be copied and the audio transcoded to 64kbps.

I copied the MP4 Unprocessed profile and edited just the audio parts.

What results is an MP4 file with just an audio stream and no video at all.

Does anyone have an idea about what I’m doing wrong? TIA.

Ffmpeg is not copying the video because you’re missing -map 0:v in the ffmpeg-video line.

That worked! Thank you. Any idea how I can get extracted subtitles to be named filename.eng.srt instead of filename_eng.srt? Plex doesn’t seem to pick up the latter.

Fixed in today’s 2.5.4 BETA build
