Reliable crash at 99% Create Video File

Post by rdenny »

Dang it! My last post vaporized. I guess I just hit preview and not post... so this is abbreviated:

Using UVS9+patch. I have several clips of video captured via DV-2/FireWire. I assembled them into a project, edited them. Preview looks great. Next I went to Create Video File and selected Same as First Clip. The idea was to have no transcoding - I just wanted a DV-AVI of my edited video. As I expected, creating the file went way faster than it would if being transcoded.

However, at 99%, UVS crashes - "Blah encountered a problem, etc." I pressed Don't Send, then waited "forever" for UVS9 to die and disappear. I eventually had to kill it with TaskManager. I repeated this 2 more times just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. Project output is about 45 minutes long.

Then I selected 5 minutes of it and tried with "preview range" instead of "entire project" and the video file was created fine. I don't have the patience to increase the amount of time in the selection till I hit the size above which it crashes at 99% :) I did try with the 5 minute range in the middle (spanning two clips) and at the end of the project (in case there is something messed up at the end). No problems rendering the 5 min. mid-chunk or the tail end either. Then I tried selecting all but the last 5 minutes into the preview range and created preview range (in case the problem is only for entire project) - crash at 99%.

Has anyone tried this (create video file using "same as first clip")? If so, did it work for you?

Update: The same project renders fine to Custom, NTSC-DVD, 720x480, VBR 2-pass 3000, dolby 128. Of course it takes much longer... So it seems the problem is not with the project and its edits, it is with the process of creating a single DV2-AVI file from the project with "use first clip".
