I have been trying lately to import videos using the FFMPEG4 encoder with the newest builds, but they are all broken and I'm having to downgrade to a previous version. However, tonight, I got fed up with the "invalid codec (ffmpeg)" error in the log and decided to invesitigate further.
The problem, it seems, is in the way the GUI passes the parameters to the CLI. For the video codec, the CLI expects "FFMPEG4" to be passed to it for MPEG-4 encoding. However, the GUI seems to only pass "FFMPEG" as can be seen in the text below of my most recent attmpt.
