I have been having a couple of issues trying to convert video (and sometimes play it) captured from the image_writer_1.py example script (and also the mjpeg_1.py script). I’m using MacOS and the H7 Plus with an SD card in the H7 Plus. There are two issues and they alternate.

Sometimes I get the “failed to launch ffmpeg” error message when I click on the “Convert Video” tool and try to convert to MP4. Sometimes this happens even when I’m able to view the video using the Play Video tool. Sometimes, however, I get an error trying to play the video (terminal shows " Invalid data found when processing input" and doesn’t play the video)

Sometimes the “Convert Video” tool appears to work, and places an .mp4 video file on my Mac desktop as I would expect. But eight out of ten times now, the file does not show a thumbnail image and when I click on it to play it on the Mac it says the document could not be open and is not compatible with QuickTime player. Twice, however, it worked (although the videos had this weird psychedelic look to it that was unlike the IDE preview window).
After I take a video and the script finishes I eject the H7 Plus, unplug it and plug it back in to see the created file. Whether its the /stream.bin being converted or the example.mjpeg files I’m having this issue.
The Micro SD card I’m using is a 128 GIG EVO card that came formatted in EX-FAT.
Anybody running into something like this?
