Conversion failed. The transcoder exited due to an error

Hello, I am here to report an issue I am experiencing with Plex Media Server for Windows. Everything else works, but when I try and play one particular episode of one particular show, I get this error: Conversion failed. The transcoder exited due to an error.

When I look at the logs, I see this:
