I'm not sure if this part: "100.00%(99.99%/0%)" means that there is a
little bit that failed, but if it is so, the program thought it impossible
to copy it over.
It says that "332.00 KiB" are in error, anyway. Very probably, being
video, only means that some movies have a burp. Only an issue if it
affects metadata.

The log purpose is that you can abort the operation and continue it when
you wish, not really to be read.
