MCEBuddy Custom Cuts and Subtitles

Check that ad detection is NOT set to none in your conversion task. You can search for EDL in the logs to see what’s going on.

Ahhhh… hello darkness my old friend.

Looks like I am going to need to figure out my ol’ nemesis -1073741515 here on my side regardless. I will update accordingly if I can defeat this beast.

Thanks again for your helpful guidance. :+1:

Looks like I needed to install some missing dependencies.

There’s this puppy here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14632

And then this one from GPAC’s version of MP4Box:

Is there a reason these dependencies are not installed by MCEBuddy by default? FWIW I uninstalled my previous version of MCEBuddy and upgraded to the latest version (October 19th) and was still unable to run MP4Box until I installed the above.

Thank you for any consideration.

Will look into it.

Great! Thanks you much. FWIW I did finally get SkipRemux=True working. While the -converted.mp4 in the temporary working0 folder did get subtitles, the resulting, final .m4v did not. :disappointed:

However, now that MP4Box works as expected on my machine, I am able to use the .srt as expected now, without the use of the --srt-file paramater (but still useful to know about just in case).

So, problem solved. Finally. :laughing:

FWIW I finally got around to it:

As an aspiring app/service developer myself, I fully respect the work you put into this thing. Envious, even. :blush:

This has been addressed in today’s build, it’ll install the VC 2015 dependency during setup.
