[bug] FFmpeg-ytdl, It doesn't really support long paths in the 'output' command. about ffmpeg-builds HOT 5 CLOSED

1. Seems like you're using release builds of FFmpeg: ffmpeg version n5.0.1-5.

   Can you please retest with master builds?

2. Does the issue manifest itself if instead of recoding x264 to h265 you do a plain copy with the same paths? Might be something inside x264 or h265, not FFmpeg itself.

3. Is F: a local drive or a share? If it's a share, can you please retest with a local drive?

FFmpeg used: ffmpeg version N-106989-gb033913d1c-20220524 | ffmpeg version n5.0.1-5-g72a00472d7-20220527 (obviously also with gyan's ffmpeg);

As I had already written, I have already used 3 different ffmpegs (I just wrote 1 output instead of 3 repeated).
The master, version n5 and the build of Gyan (codex).

I understand, here is the

It's all on local drives.

I repeat:
In input it is seen \\?\ while in output it is used but it sends in error ffmpeg (in my opinion it is precisely the -output function that is missing something compared to -input).

Is it a video from YouTube? If so, can you please provide a link?

no, it's a crunchyroll series that is ripped by Erai-raws (which is why I would like to convert it to hevc).

but this is the original file.
Sonarr as soon as the download finishes, import the file into the final folder and rename the file using " {Series Title} - s{season:00}e{episode:00} - {Release Group} [{Quality Title}{ Preferred Words}] - OE{absolute:000} - {Episode CleanTitle} " which would look like this at the end: " Miss Kuroitsu From the Monster Development Department - s01e10 - Erai-raws [HDTV-1080p] - OE010 - The Very Concept of the Evil Being That Bewitches Souls Summons New Demons through the Chaos It Brings When It Drowns in Turmoil over Its Puzzling Exi....mkv "

is 256 characters long, which is the maximum filename length allowed. Adding a suffix - h265 moves the filename beyond that limit.

Removing a couple of characters from output filename makes it work, no \\?\ prefixes required:
