Handbrake video conversion error

[GamerGuyEbby]

I am trying to convert a .avi file to a .mp4 file with handbrake and I know it works because I have converted .avi to .mp4 before. But I keep getting this error:  you must first scan a source and set up your job before starting an encode.

I have looked on the internet and some of the solutions people said they worked but they were very unclear. Oh yeah, I'm running Handbrake 0.10.5.0

have you selected a file?

 

and selected what type of file u want to encode it to?

 

what are u using, amd gpu, nvidia or intel?

 

if ur making a game file smaller

 

next time just record using bandicam

 

i get 25min files that look crystal clear  with no color banding or artifacting or noise ,,nothing and they come to about 1.2GB

 

using amd app recording in bandicam
