Can you repeat the problem? If so, what are the steps?
The problem is stable and repeated several times to be sure.
- Yesterday I’ve done one project, the first in SC, and it was just fine. Original files was .mov from iPhone, they were converted by SC, about 15 files and all fine.
- Creating a project, tried to play with folders but the same problem. Now the foldr structure is: /myfiles/ - here original files and /project/ folder are. /myfiles/project/ - here .mlt and it is the path to converted clips. Tried to use /myfiles/ as original + .mlt and /myfiles/converted/ as a path for conversions, the same thing happend.
- Adding .mp4 file taken from Huawei smart, tried both ways - drag-n-drop and “open”. A dialogue offering conversion popups, confirming with medium settings.
- Ten endless sequence of conversions starts. So I’ve got a set of files:
myfile - converted.mov
myfile - converted - converted.mov
myfile - converted.mp4
myfile - converted - converted.mp4
Where myfile - is the same and the name of original file.
It was the attempt when I’ve choose “better” settings. Then I’ve tried to do nothing but agree with conversion with “good” choice and the set of files are
myfile - converted[repeated as many as I’ve pressed OK].mp4
I’ve tried 5 and got 5 files. The last was
VID_20190726_104732 - Converted - Converted - Converted - Converted - Converted.mp4
and here is the real filename, may be the proble is in the sequence of characters in it.
UPD: tried to reneme → 1.mp4 the same ting.
UPD: tried to use simple folder structure to avoid cyrillic characters in the path → d:\file\ for source and d:\file\test\ as a project, no results
UPD: tried to separate source and project as \file\ as a source and \file2\ as a project, no result.
UPD: ENDLESS NOT APPEAR if to choose “best” as a destination (.mkv generated) in this case only the one converted file created. But it is not even the glitch because .mkv turns to 0.5 Gb from the .018 Gb .mp4 source…
UPD: the reason of bug is the source file(s) itselves(1). Because if to use all the same as described at the beggining, but open the file from another set (.mov created by iPhone) everything fine.
(1) not exactly… The reason of endless sequence is that converted file still has variable framerate (converted from that .mp4) while converted from .mov is the constant framerate. If to open “advanced” settings and point “override framerate” the final converted clip turns to CFR.

While SC tells that it still VARIABLE (but the same as MediaInfo) framerate:
