Alright I gotcha now, sorry I wasn't catching on right away. It completes its task successfully! The % is off as you noticed already, and for some reason MediaPortal.log is now 578MB after transcoding two files. Judging from past log files I've posted, it looks like it has to do with the thumbnail creation for the videos. I don't even view it in thumbnail mode and it's trying to create thumbnails over and over and failing for some reason. I don't think this is a problem with your transcoding process, but there may be a way to stop it from trying to create thumbnails while the file is being encoded... Anyways I could be completely wrong.

Seems to work great, the only thing I know people would like is to be able to change the config.txt settings within MP, and to have the transcoding process window (blank command prompt window) occur in the background as opposed to minimizing MP and bringing focus to it. Thanks so much for building this!

EDIT: I noticed that if you choose "delete original file", the MP database is not updated to reflect that change. As a result, the tv show listing remains in the database (aka Recorded TV), but is still pointing to the original .dvr-ms file, and not the new .avi file. So when you try to play the recorded-tv file, it doesn't play.
