MKV Unprocessed Task Adds Audio Delay—Breaks Playback in VLC, Apple TV, and Plex

Files and new logs are now located in '\upload.mcebuddy2x.com\JohnFreiman'
This happens with 99 or 100% of files.

Chopped S63E09.mkv  --  Original
Chopped - s63e09 - In Cod We Trust.mkv  --  MCEBuddy output
srt subs.7z   --  external subtitles

External srt subs are required for Plex to recognize forced as well as non-sdh and sdh subs.

I’m unsure if it’s related, but I have external subs (with every video) that are getting added to the output.

logs.7z  --  "mcebuddy.log" & "Chopped S63E09.mkv-TV to Television-2025-08-21T00-55-38.log"

** update **
I just added a zip with the .conf files incase I screwed something up over the years…

"conf files.7z"

update 2
While the episode of Chopped I uploaded does have the audio delay, it is not as severe as the Countdown logs I uploaded to my OP earlier today – it’s just the latest file I transcoded that I still have the original for, but it does display the introduction of the audio delay.
