Hi, I have a problem with batch converting files. FFmpeg Batch Converter constantly closes without any error during converting files with parameters "-c copy -an". How to fix it?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I have tested with a couple of 4K files with -c copy -an to mp4, but no issue found.
Are files locked? Have you tried running application as admin?

No, files aren't locked. The app sometimes crashes after 1-2 converted files and sometimes after 20 or more, there is no rule for that. One important thing that I forgot to mention is that all clips are located on mapped network drive and I don't cache them to temp folder.
I will check if running as admin solves the problem.

Adding this parameter didn't help in any way. Network connection is stable, I am connecting to my NAS server, on which I work almost all the time with large video files and photos.

Hi, with so little information I can't help much.
What additional information can I include for assistance?
What type of files are you converting, or some samples to test.
Files straight from my camera - Sony A7iii. Here is the screenshot from MediaInfo:

When I run as admin, I can't add files from mapped network drive.
I see, if network unstability causes the problem, probably only file caching would help, slower but
more reliable.
Anway, you may play with the timeout parameter, for example:
-timeout 10000and check if that helps.
Adding this parameter didn't help in any way. Network connection is stable, I am connecting to my NAS server, on which I work almost all the time with large video files and photos.
I have downloaded older version 2.3.5 and so far it's working properly without any crashes.
Oh, It's a pity I can't reproduce the issue. Have you tried by chance to use latest version 2.4.1 with ffmpeg version installed by 2.3.5?
Latest version 2.5.0 works without any problem with ffmpeg version from 2.3.5
