The "file" command will not help - I thought it maight distinguish between line endings but it does not. My suggestion about the Wordpad editor will not work for new files. The Line ending is the problem causing the error "Capabilities for mp4-mp3-*-*: syntax error in FRB:{BITRATE=-B %B}T:{START=-ss %s}" The following command run on Linux in the directory will change the line endings of the custom-convert.conf file to the acceptable sort.
