"An internal error occurred when overlapped buffer is f

Post by BasR »

Hello,

Since two days now I've had a severe problem with VS 11.5 +. Where before everything has worked perfectly a constant error is now preventing me from creating videos. It's a constant error and always occurs at the same point in the rendering time-line, namely 70%. The error given is: "An internal error occurred when overlapped buffer is full". No other details are given by the program.

After the error has occured, rendering stops (program doesn't crash), but you'll have to start rendering all over again, only to find out it stopping at 70% again with the same error.

Does anyone have a solution to this?

I thank you in anticipation.


Details are:

Properties of your source files: All from harddisk.
What devices are involved and their mode of connection?: None.
Project Properties (important): Project consists of .m2t files and several .mp3 files. Several overlapping and title effects are applied.
Output format : MPEG-2, 1440x1080 50i.
PAL or NTSC: PAL
Error Codes : "An internal error occurred when overlapped buffer is full". Constant error, occurs at 70% when rendering and makes the rendering stop immediately.
Product Version: VS11.5 + retail version, PowerPack and latest patches installed.

There is probably a glitch (corruption) in your M2T file, or in one of your MP3 files. (It's not uncommon for a file to play OK, but to cause trouble when you try to edit or convert it.)

Try converting your MP3 files to (uncompressed) WAV, first. That's the easiest thing to try. (At this point, I will assume you know how to do that.) Or as an experiment, you could just try the project without the audio.

It's more likely to be your M2T file, since glitches can easily get into the broadcast stream*. You can try "repairing" your M2T file with VideoReDo ($50 - $75 after free trial).

Or, you might be able to use SUPER (FREE!!!) to re-code the file. I'm not sure if SUPER can handle your high-definition file, but the general idea would be to keep the same settings (or nearly the same settings) as your original file. This will probably take several hours, depending on the length of your file. And, the re-coding will probably result in some loss of quality... But, sometimes re-coding is the only thing that works...


* I assume this is a captured broadcast, but there are other ways an MPEG can become corrupted. Apparently, they can sometimes get corrupted by simply editing them.
