It seems to be running down an infinite corridor trying to find ffmpeg.

Config:

[FFmpeg]
ffmpeg = ffmpeg.exe
ffmpegCodec = libvpx-vp9
ffmpegExt = webm
ffmpegParam = -lossless 0 -crf 15 -b 0 -vsync 0
mkvCodec = copy
mkvParam = 
webpCodec = libwebp
webpParam = -lossless 0 -compression_level 5 -quality 100 -loop 0 -vsync 0
gifParam = -filter_complex [0:v]split[a][b];[a]palettegen=stats_mode=diff[p];[b][p]paletteuse=dither=bayer:bayer_scale=5:diff_mode=rectangle -vsync 0
apngParam = -plays 0 -vsync 0
verboseOutput = False

[Ugoira]

[NHOrus]

in config:

[FFmpeg]
ffmpeg = ffmpeg.exe

for example, in my config, I have

[FFmpeg]
ffmpeg = D:/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg
