Transcoder failed to initialize error when attempting to convert a recording

Transcoder failed to initialize error when attempting to convert a recording to MP4, and attempting to convert o WMV nothing happens and convering terminates on its own quarter of the way done.

 

Some resolutions I have seen were to uninstall GTM in general, did it, didn't work.

Others have suggested AsfTools, installed it, ran it, didn't work.

 

This is delaying my work.

 

ANY HELP PLEASE!

    Hi,

    I'm sorry about the transcoding errors there.

     

    Can you please clarify the size of the original file, length of the original broadcast, and if the same problem occurs with a new test meeting?

    I spoke with GTM support and they indicated this is a known issue and there is no ETA for a resolution. They directed me to change file extension or utilize cloud recording as a band-aide until this is resolved.

      I am unable to convert the recording! I select and click convert. It says "Transcoder failed to initialise". wmv is available but it is low quality. I need the mp4
