Have you tried google? > The following line works fine on a command line: > ffmpeg -i 01.mkv -c:v copy test.mkv But that's not too closely related to this: > But if I try the closest I can in VirtualDub's external encoder... > Command arguments: -i - -c:v copy "%(tempvideofile)" Here you're trying to let ffmpeg encode from stdin, which is different from your attempt above. But while googling, I noticed that %(tempvideofile) should be VirtualDub's output file, which ffmpeg would use as input. E.g. here: https://encodingtalk.com/threads/virtualdub-save-direct-to-mp4-fraps-to-youtube-with-external-encoders.2446/page-2#post-13731 So you would use Command arguments: -i "%(tempvideofile)" -c:v copy -f h264 "%(outputname)" > ...it doesn't work at all. What can I do to fix this? What, nothing? No console output, no feedback, no error message? Apparently, you can use something like "logStdout": true, "logStderr": true, Then ffmpeg would show you a lot of useful information in some log.
