Actually.. there is one last question.. Even in my (old) version, is there a way to try "Vapoursynth"? If it doesn't help, there is no point in going through the effort of upgrading considering that the current version does everything I want and is tweaked exactly how I want it.

I don't think the 'Always use Vapoursynth' option was available back then.
But Vapoursynth itself was.
iirc. under Filtering in the lower right corner you could switch between Avisynth and Vapoursynth and noXSynth.
For testing you could switch to Vapoursynth and then in the Vapoursynth-Tab enable a filter like Color-Tweak.

I did notice that on the bottom right, but its already set to "Vapoursynth".. I tried enabling Color-Tweak and started an encode and SkyGo errored immediately.
When I looked in TaskManager, I can see that ffdmpeg is still a sub-task, so I don't think this changed anything.

Question is when does it stop.
FFMpeg could still be used for muxing or audio handling,...
Don't really knowing what you are doing,...

It stops the moment "encoding" starts... My workflow is
1. Open Video File
2. Set bitrate on the X264 Tab based on the Quality I want
3. Add Audio to the queue (generally done automatically as its set to "Auto Add (first)"
4. Add to Queue and Encode.
The moment the Encoding starts, SkyGo quits with an error..
I believe its one of those things.. But just a shame that I can encode using Handbrake without an issue.. But since I know what I am doing with Hybrid, I use that 99.99% of the time.

Is FFMpeg or vspipe used in the encoding call?

I have just found 2 jobs which are slightly different.. The 1st one Extracts audio using "mkvextract" and then encodes it using "ffmpeg" where as the 2nd, extracts using "ffmpeg".
The first job starts off OK, whilst its extracting (using mkvextract), but the moment it starts Step 2 (EncodeĀ using ffmpeg) SkyGo throws an error.
In contrast, thehe 2nd job, throws an error at step 1 (Extract using ffmpeg)..
So it seems its "ffmpeg" at fault!

Yup, as expected.
