I uninstalled MCEBuddy, stopped and deleted the service, deleted the config and history files, the program folder, restarted and installed and the error came back again.
I'm using a SiliconDust tuner with h.264 encoding. The 'free' version of MCEBuddy was working but I haven't gone back to see if that version will have the same error message. I also purchased the ComSkip in case that matters.

For giggles, I changed the process from WTV to mp4 and that seems to work.
