VC E [00:05:00] Encode failed with code ErrorHandBrakeProcessCrashed
problem is here
you might have bad memory/ram

Thank you for your message. It have noticed that when I encode a vid in MKV H265 10 bit directly with Handbrake v 1.11.1, there is no problem. Handbrake does the job perfectly. Vidcoder uses the previuos version of Handbrake: v1.11.0. I think the problem would be solved if you upgrade Vidcoder with v1.11.1 of Handbrake. I have also made a full test of my RAM. It works prefectly. Thant you for giving me news.
Best regards.

Thanks for the info. I'm out of the country right now, but will release a new version with 1.11.1 HandBrake core when I return.
