odd crash almost immediately upon adding job

'--lookahead-level' is a valid option (https://github.com/rigaya/NVEnc/blob/mas...l-int-hevc)

Something is wrong. "NVEncC64.exe" does not come with Hybrid. The binary Hybrid ships is named "NVEncC.exe" without the 64.
Also, the NVEncC64.exe you use is version 7.3.
The NVEnc version Hybrid 2024.09.29.1 ships with is 7.69. (NVEncC 7.3 would not support '--lookahead-level', since that was added in 7.49)
Seems like something is wrong with your Hybrid install.

=> Deinstall Hybrid, with settings. Make sure "c:\Program Files\Hybrid" is removed. Install Hybrid again.
