On one occasion it converted a few files and the process showed "converting" with a steadily increasing percentage before getting stuck again at "intializing......" I've tried right-clicking on the files I want to convert in windows explorer, I've tried dragging and dropping from windows explorer, and I've tried using the "Add" button within TLH to select the files to convert, all to no avail. I've also rebooted between each attempt to convert...
Format conversion definitely works. The way files were added to the list is without influence to the conversion procedure.

Errors are reported in the process log. If TLH hangs it cannot log anything, of course.

I can't tell from the download page which versions TLH requires...
TLH only "sees" and uses helper files that are located in its installation folder.
