Tested new version with different files that have different framerates and got same error when passtrough MP4 to MOV
muxing' due to: ERROR: -hybrid.mov was not created!

This looks really strange because it was no problem in earlier versions. Seems something was changed in few latest versione.

[Selur]

No debug output -> no clue what you are talking, no clue what caused the error.

[shijan]

I thought if problem is simple to reproduce it may be easier for you to reproduce it locally. Anyway PM'ed you debug. Same problem happens if i remux any other input format to mov.

[Selur]

I see the problem in the ffmpeg call:

"/Applications/Hybrid.app/Contents/MacOS/ffmpeg" -y  -r 25/1 -i "/Volumes/temp/Hybrid Temp/_2021-09-15@18_48_11_0710__03.mkv" -i "/Volumes/temp/Hybrid Temp/iId_2_aid_0_2021-09-15@18_48_11_0710_01.aac" -vcodec copy -acodec copy -metadata encoding_tool="Hybrid 2021.09.15.1" -map 0:0 -map 1:0  -aspect 1920/1080:1 -r 25/1 -f mov "/Volumes/temp/QTGMC TESTS/BLACK SHEEP BOY (by James Molle) [2019 vimeo HD]-hybrid.mov"

1920/1080:1 should be: 1920:1080 that happend due to a recent fix

Cu Selur

Ps.: will probably be home in ~2hrs will them compile a new dev version for testing.

[Selur]

updated the download just now with a few fixes and a new tsMuxeR version

Cu Selur

[shijan]

It looks like new tsmuxer don't works at all. Is it supported on Mojave? Is it any way to check tsmuxer separately in terminal?
I can see message in in debug "using FFmpeg for m2ts muxing since tsMuxeR can't be used."
PM'ed you a debug.

[Selur]

No clue whether it should be Mojave compatible.
Did not see any informatio about it over at https://github.com/justdan96/tsMuxer/releases

Is it any way to check tsmuxer separately in terminal?

simply call it, it should output it's 'help' info:

tsMuxeR version git-8474c6b. github.com/justdan96/tsMuxer

tsMuxeR is a simple program to mux video to TS/M2TS files or create BD disks.
tsMuxeR does not use external filters (codecs).

Examples:
    tsMuxeR <media file name>
    tsMuxeR <meta file name> <out file/dir name>

tsMuxeR can be run in track detection mode or muxing mode. If tsMuxeR is run
with only one argument, then the program displays track information required to
construct a meta file. When running with two arguments, tsMuxeR starts the
muxing or demuxing process.

Meta file format:
File MUST have the .meta extension and be encoded in UTF-8 (but see README.md).
This file defines the files you want to multiplex.
The first line of a meta file contains additional parameters that apply to all
tracks. In this case the first line should begin with the word MUXOPT.

The following lines form a list of tracks and their parameters.  The format is
as follows:   <code name>,   <file name>,   <parameters>   Parameters are
separated with commas, with each parameter consisting of a name and a value,
separated with an equals sign.
Example of META file:

MUXOPT --blu-ray
V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC, D:/media/test/stream.h264, fps=25
A_AC3, D:/media/test/stream.ac3, timeshift=-10000ms

In this example one AC3 audio stream and one H264 video stream are multiplexed
into BD disc. The input file name can reference an elementary stream or a track
located inside a container.

Supported input containers:
- TS/M2TS/MTS
- EVO/VOB/MPG/MPEG
- MKV
- MOV/MP4
- MPLS (Blu-ray media play list file)

Names of codecs in the meta file:
- V_MPEGI/ISO/VVC   H.266/VVC
- V_MPEGH/ISO/HEVC  H.265/HEVC
- V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC   H.264/AVC
- V_MPEG4/ISO/MVC   H.264/MVC
- V_MS/VFW/WVC1     VC1
- V_MPEG-2          MPEG2
- A_AC3             AC3/AC3+/TRUE-HD
- A_AAC             AAC
- A_DTS             DTS/DTS-Express/DTS-HD
- A_MP3             MPEG audio layer 1/2/3
- A_LPCM            raw pcm data or PCM WAV file
- S_HDMV/PGS        Presentation graphic stream (BD subtitle format)
- S_TEXT/UTF8       SRT subtitle format.  Encoding MUST be  UTF-8/UTF-16/UTF-32

Each track may have additional parameters. Track parameters do not have dashes.
If a parameter's value consists of several words, it must be enclosed in quotes.

Common additional parameters for any type of track:
- track             track number if input file is a container.
- lang              track language. MUST contain exactly 3 letters.

Additional parameters for audio tracks:
- timeshift         Shift audio track by the given number of milliseconds.
                    Can be negative.
- down-to-dts       Available only for DTS-HD tracks. Filter out HD part.
- down-to-ac3       Available only for TRUE-HD tracks. Filter out HD part.
- secondary         Mux as secondary audio. Available for DD+ and DTS-Express.
- default           Mark this track as the default when muxing to Blu-ray.

Additional parameters for video tracks:
- fps               The number of frames per second. If not defined, the value
                    is auto detected if available in the source stream. If not,
                    it defaults to 23.976.
- delPulldown       Remove pulldown from the track, if it exists. If the
                    pulldown is present, the FPS value is changed from 30 to 24.
- ar                Override video aspect ratio. 16:9, 4:3 e.t.c.

Additional parameters for H.264 video tracks:
- level             Overwrite the level in the H264 stream. Do note that this
                    option only updates the headers and does not reencode the
                    stream, which may not meet the requirements for a lower
                    level.
- insertSEI         If the original stream does not contain SEI picture timing,
                    SEI buffering period or VUI parameters, add this data to
                    the stream. This option is recommended for BD muxing.
- forceSEI          Add SEI picture timing, buffering period and VUI parameters
                    to the stream and rebuild this data if it already exists.
- contSPS           If the original video doesn't contain repetitive SPS/PPS,
                    then SPS/PPS will be added to the stream before each key
                    frame. This option is recommended for BD muxing.
- subTrack          Used for combined AVC/MVC tracks only. TsMuxeR always
                    demultiplexes such tracks to separate AVC and MVC streams.
                    Setting this to 1 sets the reference to the AVC part, while
                    2 sets it to the MVC part.
- secondary         Mux as secondary video (PIP).
- pipCorner         Corner for PIP video. Allowed values: "TopLeft","TopRight",
                    "BottomRight", "BottomLeft".
- pipHOffset        PIP window horizontal offset from the corner in pixels.
- pipVOffset        PIP window vertical offset from the corner in pixels.
- pipScale          PIP window scale factor. Allowed values: "1", "1/2", "1/4",
                    "1.5", "fullScreen".
- pipLumma          Allow the PIP window to be transparent. Transparent colors
                    are lumma colors in range [0..pipLumma].

Additional parameters for PG and SRT tracks:

- video-width       The width of the video in pixels.
- video-height      The height of the video in pixels.
- default           Mark this track as the default when muxing to Blu-ray.
                    Allowed values are "all" which causes all subtitles to be
                    shown, and "forced" which shows only elements marked as
                    "forced" in the subtitle stream.
- fps               Video fps. It is recommended to define this parameter in
                    order to enable more careful timing processing.
- 3d-plane          Defines the number of the '3D offset track' which is placed
                    inside the MVC track. Each message has an individual 3D
                    offset. This information is stored inside 3D offset track.

Additional parameters for SRT tracks:

- font-name         Font name to render.
- font-color        Font color, defined as a hexadecimal or decimal number.
                    24-bit long numbers (for instance 0xFF00FF) define RGB
                    components, while 32-bit long ones (for instance
                    0x80FF00FF) define ARGB components.
- font-size         Font size in pixels.
- font-italic       Italic display text.
- font-bold         Bold display text.
- font-underline    Underlined text.
- font-strikeout    Strikethrough text.
- bottom-offset     Distance from the lower edge while displaying text.
- font-border       Outline width.
- fadein-time       Time in ms for smooth subtitle appearance.
- fadeout-time      Time in ms for smooth subtitle disappearance.
- line-spacing      Interval between subtitle lines. Default value is 1.0.

tsMuxeR supports additional tags inside SRT tracks. The syntax and parameters
coincide with HTML: <b>, <i>, <u>, <strike>, <font>. Default relative font size
(used in these tags) is 3.  For example:

<b><font size=5 color="deepskyblue" name="Arial"><u>Test</u>
<font size= 4 color="#806040">colored</font>text</font>
</b>

Global additional parameters are placed in the first line of the META file,
which must begin with the MUXOPT token.
All parameters in this group start with two dashes:

--pcr-on-video-pid  Do not allocate a separate PID for PCR and use the existing
                    video PID.
--new-audio-pes     Use bytes 0xfd instead of 0xbd for AC3, True-HD, DTS and
                    DTS-HD. Activated automatically for BD muxing.
--hdmv-descriptors  Use HDMV descriptors instead of ITU-T H.222.0 | ISO/IEC 13818-1
                    descriptors. Activated automatically for BD muxing.
--vbr               Use variable bitrate.
--minbitrate        Sets the lower limit of the VBR bitrate. If the stream has
                    a smaller bitrate, NULL packets will be inserted to
                    compensate.
--maxbitrate        The upper limit of the vbr bitrate.
--cbr               Muxing mode with a fixed bitrate. --vbr and --cbr must not
                    be used together.
--vbv-len           The  length  of the  virtual  buffer  in milliseconds.  The
                    default value  is 500.  Typically, this  option  is used
                    together with --cbr. The parameter is similar to  the value
                    of  vbv-buffer-size  in  the  x264  codec,  but  defined in
                    milliseconds instead of kbit.
--no-asyncio        Do not  create  a separate thread  for writing. This option
                    also disables the FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING flag on Windows
                    when writing.
                    This option is deprecated.
--auto-chapters     Insert a chapter every <n> minutes. Used only in BD/AVCHD
                    mode.
--custom-chapters   A semicolon delimited list of hh:mm:ss.zzz strings,
                    representing the chapters' start times.
--demux             Run in demux mode : the selected audio and video tracks are
                    stored as separate files. The output name must be a folder
                    name. All selected effects (such as changing the level of
                    a H264 stream) are processed. When demuxing, certain types
                    of tracks are always changed :
                    - Subtitles in a Presentation Graphic Stream are converted
                      into sup format.
                    - PCM audio is saved as WAV files.
--blu-ray           Mux as a BD disc. If the output file name is a folder, a
                    Blu-Ray folder structure is created inside that folder.
                    SSIF files for BD3D discs are not created in this case. If
                    the output name has an .iso extension, then the disc is
                    created directly as an image file.
--blu-ray-v3        As above - except mux to UHD BD discs.
--avchd             Mux to AVCHD disc.
--cut-start         Trim the beginning of the file. The value should be followed
                    by the time unit : "ms" (milliseconds), "s" (seconds) or
                    "min" (minutes).
--cut-end           Trim the end of the file. Same rules as --cut-start apply.
--split-duration    Split the output into several files, with each of them being
                    <n> seconds long.
--split-size        Split the output into several files, with each of them
                    having a given maximum size. KB, KiB, MB, MiB, GB and GiB
                    are accepted as size units.
--right-eye         Use base video stream for right eye. Used for 3DBD only.
--start-time        Timestamp of the first video frame. May be defined as 45Khz
                    clock (just a number) or as time in hh:mm:ss.zzz format.
--mplsOffset        The number of the first MPLS file.  Used for BD disc mode.
--m2tsOffset        The number of the first M2TS file.  Used for BD disc mode.
--insertBlankPL     Add an additional short playlist. Used for cropped video
                    muxed to BD disc.
--blankOffset       Blank playlist number.
--label             Disk label when muxing to ISO.
--extra-iso-space   Allocate extra space in 64K units for ISO metadata (file
                    and directory names). Normally, tsMuxeR allocates this space
                    automatically, but if split condition generates a lot
                    of small files, it may be required to define extra space.
--constant-iso-hdr  Generates an ISO header that does not depend on the program
                    version or the current time. Not meant for normal usage.

I downloaded tsMuxeR GUI 2.6.12 / 2021-09-09 Nightly here https://www.videohelp.com/software/tsMuxeR and it works well. So problem not in Mojave.
