Encoding failed

[binorchen]

Thanks a lot for the contribution to the community! I followed the instruction and installed the software successfully. But when I run node encoder.js -i {input_folder} -o {output_folder} -w {images_x} -h {images_y} -q {jpeg_quality}, there is an error as below:

Can you help with it? I am running on Ubuntu16.04

Okay so this is strange, I was running into the same issue. I ran the script a second time and it made further progress, I ran a third time and it made less. After about 10 attempts one run completed successfully. Not sure why this is yet, but maybe this info is helpful to someone!
