Job Failed to Initialise. Check log and input settings. Any help?

Post by 0v3rl0rd »

Description of problem or question:
So, all videos, until this one, are being converte normally... just this one is the problem - as soon as I click the convert button, it stops with warning "Job Failed to Initialise. Check log and input settings (3)".
Any info about that one?

Why are you scaling to 58 x 32 pixels?

The x265 encoder requires at least 64 x 64 pixels, apparently.

What :D
So, I converted about 500 videos using that same profile, without any problems... and on all of the videos it automatically scaled to the original resolution... but with this one it scaled it to 58x32... and I have no idea why is that happening...

Anyway, thank You for helping - once I selected "optimal size" checkbox under the "scaled size", and unchecked it, it defaulted to the original resolution of the file... strange :D

Thanks again :D
