Title: Still having timeout problems from time to time...

Based on the doc in the converter lib

"The optional timeout argument specifies how long should the operation
be blocked in case ffmpeg gets stuck and doesn't report back. This
doesn't limit the total conversion time, just the amount of time
Converter will wait for each update from ffmpeg. As it's usually
less than a second, the default of 10 is a reasonable default. To
disable the timeout, set it to None. You may need to do this if
using Converter in a threading environment, since the way the
timeout is handled (using signals) has special restriction when
using threads."
