Rendering hangs on last 5 seconds of Sony AS100V

[zaphodikus]

I normally trimmed away the last bit of recordings I make with any camera, so never found why my video renders sometimes randomly just hang. Lately I am stopping the recording so as to save editing time, it got worse, that's when I figured out:
Playback and editing are mostly fine, it happens intermittently and every time it does, some agressive trimming fixes the rendering hanging. I read http://corel.force.com/index/articles/e ... -or-Render . and now it makes sense. The last 5 seconds on my Sony action cam AS100V just never seem to render without hanging videostudio. I have 5 minutes on project autosave, so no time or sweat lost. I also use Audacity and the Lame decoder to process all my audio , and that was my initial suspicion beccause the mp3 files LAME decoder/encoder produces are sometimes know to hang VideoStudio. I have to use Audacity, because using the audio filters in videostudio have always left the sound completely unintelligible, so I either use no vidoestudio audio filters, or I use Audacity to rip the audio, clean it and sync it up again. So Audacity was first thing I eliminated and found was not the cause.

So now that I know the last bit of every clip is just going to be toast, how can I fix it in future? Just by recording for longer after every take feels artificial, especially if you are keeping recordings short so as to reduce or totally eliminate time cutting later when you get back home. It's a fair compromise, and I'm now wondering if one of those video converter tools my good tutor grips2211 talks about might be just what I need to "repair" my clips beforehand. It's annoying, because playback and editing appear to be fine (editing the last few frames/seconds in the troublesome clip also does sometimes hang VideoStudio, so it's pretty hard to avoid.) So if anyone else uses an action cam like Sony AS100V, hope this helps.

Curious if anyone else can render this full clip https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bwgddi ... sp=sharing in Videostudio 7 x64

I had no problems rendering the clip to several formats. Also trimmed/edited and rendered - again no problem.

Is there something special I should be doing or looking at?

on my XP.
It did pause at 99% for few seconds but ended fine using same as clip setting.

-Update, Selecting AVC\H264 to get m2t file, crashed VSX7 at 99%. The file itself is fine, missing the last 1%

Yes I rendered to an mp4 using 'same as first video clip' with no problem at all

but surely you want to remove the last 2 - 3 seconds of that clip any way

Did some more test
Using the AVC\H264 to get m2t file (like asik1), it hangs at 99%. The resulting play is corrupt over the last couple of seconds.

I then split the video 5 or so seconds before the end, deleted the first part and only rendered the last 5 seconds - works just fine and video is good.

Weird!

You guys are awesome.

I can confirm I coppied the clip to another computer and as you all found, it's not damaged at all because I re-rendered it from 1K to 2K and then coppied it back. And then the clip was fine. So yes Brian I wanted to discard the last 2 seconds or so anyway.

At least now I know, remove codecs somehow or re-install Windows. Thanks so much for everyone trying so hard to repro my issue, hope it encourages the next plonker to try more avenues.
