The normal log starts with:
Quote:This log is only intended for user information. It should not be part of a bug/problem report!!
so it might not be surprising that it holds no real useful info for me,...

So here I'm guessing:
Seeing 'HDPVR 2 Capture' my guess is that there is a problem with the transport stream and that is why the extraction or encoding of the audio fails. (might also be an encrypted capture for all I know,...)

Seeing 'C:\Users\Hypnotize\AppData\Local\Temp\' problem could also be due to some overzealous antivirus tool or similar. (I usually recommend using a separate temp folder (ideally on a separate drive) and add exceptions for it in any antivirus&co software.

Quote:How can i fixed that problem plz?
Since Hybrid is meant to only input without issues.
(if you want a tool more suited for buggy input use handbrake (based tools), ffmpeg based tools (that do audio&video in one go) or vlc,...)
Hybrid assumes that the source has no broken parts no, no messed up time stamps, etc. .

If you want to process captured stuff with it you might want to check that the source is alright.
Sometimes that might require some tools like ts-doctor (tools meant to fix transport streams), other times simply remuxing the source with mkvtoolnix might already be enough (it has a bunch of workarounds to handle somewhat messed up transport streams).

=> my guess is that it's not the fault of Hybrid but of your source

Strange all this used to work and i never had this kind of problem yet it is not the
the source the problem because when i try with the ac3 codec the transcoding 
is succesfull.

First time I hear about this information,... how could I know?

In the spirit of sharing details, how about reading the sticky and providing some more information by answering the questions there and sharing a debug output? (this way I could see what calls are used and the chance of figuring the problem out would rise a lot)

I try to removed that old file then replaced by CoreAudioToolbox.dll from version 2.85
of qaac but i still had the same issue.On youtube it show how to create qaac with 3 
files;the new version of qaac,itunes setup then the cmd to generate the Qtfiles but
i think maybe my tree are messed up then how do we injected that correctly to Hybrid.
right now i got like this structure but i don t know if its correct.What is the best method
to make that works fine plz?Do i need to put the files in another way then how thanks.

Hybrid does not work with qaac 2.85 you must enter ver. 2.83
in the 64 bit folder you must insert this file

RE: qaac CVBR 192kbps, Quality 96 - Selur - 04.08.2025

Hybrid, should already come with a qaac binary,.. why not use that one?

RE: qaac CVBR 192kbps, Quality 96 - Moloch - 04.08.2025

It doesn't work with Qaac 2.85 gets stuck
instead with the 2.83 and part of the files inside
to iTunes64setup and then just copy the missed ones
