Video Studio Pro X3 - project rendering problem

[p2pgeek]

When I try and render my 23 minute project to WMV HD 720p it gets to 6% and says file reading error. Is there anyone who can help?

Can we assume you have the Windows Series 9 Media Encoder installed on your computer?

[p2pgeek]

I do have it installed.

Yes, this will help VS X4 properly render or process videos that needs different decoders.

You can download the Windows Series 9 Media Encoder from these links.

If you have tried rendering this project several times, does it always stop at the same point? If so, there must be something which, as the error message says, VS cannot read. Is you project made up of videos and anything else? What format is the video in? Right click on a clip in the timeline around the point in the video where the problem lies and copy ALL its Properties here please.

[p2pgeek]

Yes, it stops exactly after rendering on 6% for about 1 minute. The project has video, music, text, and transitions. The video is in. MOV format. It will not let me copy the properties.

[Ken Berry]

It will not let me copy the properties.

No, but you could simply type them out manually! Or you could do a screen grab of the Properties box, and post that here using the Upload Attachment function immediately to the bottom left below the Reply box where you write a reply here.

Ok, Here is the screenshoot.

[Ken Berry]

Do other .mov files play properly in VS? And which version of QuickTime do you have on your computer?

[p2pgeek]

I have tried to play through the MOV videos but they would crash the software. So i then downgraded to Quicktime 6.0 I had 6.69

[p2pgeek]

Code it be a codec problem? Because I converted the .mov files to .wmv to see what happens and the same thing, it stops at 6%.

[p2pgeek]

Ok, this is the error message I continue to recieve.
