Looks like the starting of your view is missing a few key frames which is why handbrake isn’t able to process it well:

2020-04-01T12:57:15 MCEBuddy.AppWrapper.Handbrake → [12:57:15] thread c started (“Muxer”)
2020-04-01T12:57:15 MCEBuddy.AppWrapper.Handbrake → [12:57:15] sync: first pts audio 0x100 is 0
2020-04-01T12:57:15 MCEBuddy.AppWrapper.Handbrake → [12:57:15] sync: first pts video is 9867
2020-04-01T12:57:16 MCEBuddy.AppWrapper.Handbrake → Encoding: task 1 of 1, 0.04 %

You can try the following:

  1. Remove the -ss 0 completely from your profile and mcebuddy.conf files
  2. Set mcebuddy to cut the 1st second of your file (set -ss 1 or set the Cut start in the conversion task expert settings page to 1 second), till cause mcebuddy to skip the initial frames until it finds a key frame.
  3. Try using ffmpeg instead of handbrake in your profile order as the first encoder, ffmpeg tends to handle some malformed sequences better.

If you upload the original video to our server we can analyze it and get back to you
