Hi DenyAll thanks for your post, I tried both your suggested arguments but both failed as follows:-
C:\Users\admin> "E:\Serviio\lib\ffmpeg.exe" -i "F:\Data\Videos\My Videos\Saff
i's Casket carried from Manchester Cathedral.mp4" -vcodec copy -acodec copy "F:\

File 'C:\test_output.mp4' already exists. Overwrite ? [y/N] N
Not overwriting - exiting
Because I didn't know how to instruct it to write to the location shared with Serviio (F:\videos\My Videos) I opted no to "overwrite".
Could it be as simple as:-
E:\Serviio\lib\ffmpeg.exe -i C:\test.mp4 -c copy -map 0 F:\Videos\My Videos\test_output.mp4 ...Hmm apparently not!
Here's the output from my flawed argument:-
C:\Users\admin>E:\Serviio\lib\ffmpeg.exe -i C:\test.mp4 -c copy -map 0 F:\Videos
\My Videos\test_output.mp4

Ratz! It appears to me that we are so close.
The yellow statement in the previous posting "strptime() unavailable on this system, cannot convert the date string." concerns me, as does the statement "Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 180000.00 (180000/1) -> 30.00 (30/1)", ...could this be the reason the file stutters?
I just don't understand why the native output of my S3's camera always has this incompatibility, ...can it be instructed to output files compatible with Serviio?
So many questions, I'm way over my head in this, ...well, in most things really
Thanks for helping!
