I have some MP4 files that when converted (it doesn’t matter what settings I use) produce files with only Audio and no Video. I’m converting these because ChannelsDVR FireTV Client won’t play them unless Software Decoding is enabled, and when that’s enabled, nothing else plays.
Here is the information on the input file. As luck and fortune would have it, the log files is more than 10Megs so it would upload here, so that’s awesome.
