The aim of the operation was to reduce a source x264 MKV file from 16 GB to ~5 GB x264 MKV
In the "Video Output" file, I forgot to change the file name which was the same as the source file.
I then started the 2-pass fast x264 HD encoding.
When the second pass begun, my source file was simply overwritten by a 0 length file.
The last MeGui version was displaying a modal popup asking before overwritting but the last version did not.
Anyway, it was blocking and by the past, I lost many hours because MeGui was waiting for me to push a button.
My suggested behavior would be to change the output name if the same input name already exists and of course do not block the encoding process.
