**Request Type:**

**Operating System and Type (32bit or 64bit):** Windows 10 Pro vm 64bit

**Steps to replicate the bug:** transcode wtv file to mp4

**Screenshots:**

* * *

This does not happen a lot, but just enough to be annoying. For some reason the transcoded video for a show I have recorded using Windows Media Server (on a windows 7 vm) has no audio. The source file is fine, but the newly created file is missing the audio track.

The source is wtv converted to mp4.

I usually end up using another program to convert (sans commercial skip sadly) and it works.

Not sure what to make of it. Log of the most recent occurrence attached.

It looks like ffmpeg is having trouble processing the file while converting it

Can you [upload a copy of the original WTV video](https://discussion.mcebuddy2x.com/t/5076) to our sever so we can replicate it and see what’s going on. [Welcome to MCEBuddy - README BEFORE POSTING](https://discussion.mcebuddy2x.com/t/welcome-to-mcebuddy-readme-before-posting/8)

The source file is too big (7 gigs). Do you have a support email? I can send a link to you using that.
