Hi All!

I'm new to HDConvertToX but have used AutoMKV before and REALLY appreciate the effort that goes into simplifying the conversion process - many thanks!

Just tried setting up HDConvertToX and analyzing a file and got the error message "filter graph manager won't talk to me". I have the K-lite codec pack installed on the computer and, since it had the required accessory programs (and I already had AVISynth installed), that I wouldn't need the separate installs - guess not. Once I uninstalled the K-lite pack and AVISynth, then (after reboot and registry cleanup) reinstalled AVISynth, ffdshow and haali media splitter, HDConvertToX now analyzes files properly! Should I conclude that there are version compatability issues between the same programs in the K-lite pack and what HDConvertToX needs? Is it simply a setting somewhere or can the K-lite pack not be installed??

Secondly, I followed Adub's guide for backing up movies and the queue initiated fine and completed eac3to audio conversion and, apparently, the first x264 pass. However, the DOS screen says 100% complete after the first pass but nothing else is happening (I have a *.h264 file, but the second pass hasn't initiated). The system isn't frozen (I'm using it now) but nothing has happened in the DOS window for several hours (and no CPU usage). The process should go to completion, correct? Did I miss something, or is there a way to initiate the next steps?

Here is the DOS window log (in case that helps):
