Race condition: We had to kill ffmpeg to stop it.
See original GitHub issueI’m trying to encode several mp4s at a time, and all of the larger ones give me the message We had to kill ffmpeg to stop it. Most of the files for which this message is printed are corrupted. Looking at the code, there appears to be a race condition in there where it only gives ffmpeg 2.5s to clean up. Is this needed? Or is there a way to disable that?

agreed.
I re-posted because someone requested a workaround, which typically aren’t long-term solutions. This can be added without waiting for a PR to get approved, merged, released and posted.
