Getting error "Frame is Unreadable" when saving

Post by Puddi »

I'll play the video in the timeline and it'll be perfectly fine, as soon as I save it under the lowest resolution in MPeg, I get "frame (insert #) is unreadable" Is there a way to fix it? I'm not sure how it's even unreadable if it's playing in timeline.

Well puddi, in video encoding anything is possible.
What file you are using and to what resolution you re-encode it?

The "frame unreadable" error is perhaps one of the more frustrating of errors because the only way I know to cure it is to individually remove bits from the timeline one at a time and try to save again - eventually you hopefully remove the offending clip and can replace it or convert it externally to a file which does not bother Videostudio

different processes are involved in playing and saving so the difference in result is not that surprising

Hi

Does the error message give any other details? maybe a number.

That may indicate the length of clip in frames, if the clip uses 29.97fps then its easy to calculate the length of clip.
That may of course be a load of rubbish, but worth a look?
