• For batch failures, check the log for specific errors and ensure source MP4 files aren’t corrupted.
• If conversion is very slow, close other CPU-intensive programs.

Compatibility & notes

• Version 1.0 targets older Windows (XP–8); modern Windows may still run it but check for compatibility warnings.
