I have a lot of issues to go through, so in order to make it easier for me to help you, I ask that you please try these things first

hi. Invalid data found when processing input usually means the file has some corruption or error in its data. Does the file play back in losslesscut or other video players like windows media player?

hi. yes, file is playable. in the directcut interface including. i cannot exclude that it have some corruption, yet it is not noticeable while playback. can an option "proceed on your own risk" be added to bypass the issue if occur? thx!

The problem is that ffmpeg doesn't accept the file at all, it's a fatal error that causes ffmpeg to not be able to process the file, hence the encoding fails:

Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?): Invalid data found when processing input

So it's not possible to "bypass" the issue. There's probably a bug in ffmpeg and/or some issue with your file. Not sure if there's anything to do other than report the issue to ffmpeg with a sample file to reproduce it https://trac.ffmpeg.org/
