Sorry. Besides trying to isolate the cause of the crashing in Hybrid, I broke my browser when I ran a test on it. I'm willing to generate and share a log file if it will help you, I'm just not sure it will.
I played more with not just Hybrid, but also Handbrake, MakeMKV, and MKVToolNix/MKVMerge. Since Hybrid couldn't convert the audio to FLAC I wanted to see if the problem was just with Hybrid. I re-encoded the movie with Handbrake, which showed it was successful, and tried to mux the FLAC with the original movie file in Hybrid. No surprise that failed.
I tried muxing the FLAC into the movie with MKVMerge, and that also failed with an error message. The FLAC file couldn't be parsed. I played the FLAC audio file, and other than a few seconds of sound at the beginning there was nothing else to it. A search showed that converting from DTS-HDMA to FLAC can be a problem with the codec, but I also went from DTS-HDMA to PCM to FLAC, and only FLAC couldn't playback properly.
The search also showed that MakeMKV could convert directly between DTS-HDMA and FLAC using an open source codec, so I tried it. MakeMKV did work, so I tried using Hybrid to replace the DTS-HDMA audio track with the FLAC track by extracting it from the version made by MakeMKV. This time it worked.
If I understand this correctly, the problem is with the FLAC codec, or maybe LAV or FFMPEG. I previously tried converting from FLAC to FLAC in Hybrid and had the same crash at the creation level. I will repeat one of the tests later to generate a log file for you. I know next to nothing about Hybrid or encoding, but from what I'm seeing there might be a problem with the FLAC codec. Then again I broke Chrome running a test on the browser, so it could be just me. lol
