Error while opening encoder for output stream

[MSattler 387]

Am receiving the following error when trying to transcode one of my movies via the web:

 

Error while opening encoder for output stream #0:1 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height

 

Server Version:

 

Version 3.0.5724.6

 

Here is the log:

Is it because it is DTS-MA?  I swear I have other files with DTS-MA that work without issue.

 

 

Thanks!

try refreshing the content in the web intrerface. looks like the server doesn't have the audio track info for whatever reason. that could be from the same issue that today's server release is intended to fix.

 

 

unrelated, but since you're on firefox, pretty soon that method of encoding will no longer be used since firefox is finally moving out of the stone age. you can play with firefox 42 beta, see here:

Yup, that did it!  My bad, I have Firefox dedicated at work to use a proxy over a ssh tunnel back to my house.  Otherwise would have tested Chrome.

 

Thanks!
