Operating System:

Summary of the problem:
Comskip is failing on every video. When I check the log, it is passing -h and showing help and then failing
Steps to replicate the bug:
Setup comskip normally, try to convert a video.
Tried it with and without the --qsv option.
Output of my log file:
Commercial Removal -> Comskip
Custom Comskip INI Path ->
Custom Comskip CLI Params -> --qsv
