ffmpeg encountered an error. 😨 Please see the stderror output above to fix the issue.

I think the reason it crashed was because of the colon in the title "Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood," I would try to fix it myself but I have very little coding experience

Yes, this is very likely. I've tried fixing this back then but failed doing so. For now, you could strip out colons in your MP3 tags.
