Some mkv files don't encode

#1 Postby Guneyd » Mar 21, 2015 7:20 am

After some testing I've discovered an annoying problem with the encoding of some .mkv files (especially if they're large files ~gigabytes). The file gets uploaded without any problem, but after the encoding is done, the file is only a few kilobytes.

I've searched the forum for a solution, but no one had the same problem. There is nothing wrong with the file permissions of enc.pl and the encoding does work properly for some files.

After looking into my error log, I came across messages like this one:

Code: Select all

After some googling, it appears that there's a problem during the encoding process with calculating the correct bitrate.

My encoding settings
MP4: Enabled
Video width: 640 pixels
Video quality: 19 CRF
Audio bitrate: 128 kbps

My fileserver specs
Intel Quad-Core Xeon E5504
16GB RAM
12 × 1TB SATA (HW RAID 10)

I have the nginx mod on my fileserver and the server itself was set-up by Sibsoft staff.

Does someone know how this problem can be solved? Or is there something wrong with my encoding settings perhaps?
