You will need to attach your conversion log or open it and scroll to the bottom and see what it’s failing. It shouldn’t start with ERROR>

Everything back on track now. Did a complete system clean for anything related to MCEBuddy, as recommened here. Somewhere there appeared to be a corrupt file that caused the proble. Rebooted, did a clean install of the current version. Now working. Thanks to all that provide input and comments they all helped.

Great. I also had a look at your logs. It appears that you had configured MCEBuddy to use a custom version of Comskip which was causing the failure
