Do not convert the video at all.

1. Specifies the file that I converted
2. To which the device
3. Quality Standard

And nothing happens. Videos not convertible. Then remove from conversion cheep image could not be. What am I doing wrong?

This seems to be a small issue with the vorbis encoder only accepting 32-bit wide audio streams (for some reason I had thought it was 8-24).

The new release should have this issue fixed. For a quick fix on your end you can make sure the width is set to 8, 32 in the preset file in /usr/share/arista/presets/, use a different preset, or update to the latest version that was released this weekend.
