Error while cuting an MKV video file in Windows 10 about lossless-cut

[mifi]

Can you open developer tools using CTRL+SHIFT+I or F12 before triggering the error, and include the output from the Console?
Alternatively, is it possible for you to share a sample video that's not working?

I can not share the video, it's too big (200MB).

Output from the Console:

Can you open CMD and run:
C:\Users\srmp\Desktop\LosslessCut-win32-x64\resources\app.asar.unpacked\ffmpeg.exe -i C:\Users\srmp\Desktop\video.mkv -y -vcodec copy -acodec copy -ss 107.085721 -t 42.508196999999996 -f webm C:\Users\srmp\Desktop\video.mkv-00.01.47.085-00.02.29.593..mkv

...And show the output?

I will add this ffmpeg output to javascript console in a later release 📝
Also I noticed that the extension has two dots "..mkv", I will fix that too in the next release.

Thanks.
I assume you are running the latest version of LosslessCut.
The format of your video has been detected as being WebM (despite the extension being mkv.)

It seems FFMPEG doesn't want to put H264 video with AAC audio into a WebM file. As far as I understand that is outside the spec of the WebM format (which only supports VP8 or VP9 video.)
Where did you get this file? As of now I can only conclude that the file is unsupported.
I guess an option would be to implement the ability to select a custom output format like matroska.

Torrent for download of sample video attached.

I have investigated and found out that the library that I'm using to detect file type detects mistakenly detects this file as webm.

Fixed in 2189871 and in 1.3.0
