This post is a duplicate of a VVideo forum post. I put it here in case the Audio group can also give us a clue.
Our thanks to all who assisted with our rendering issue. We have about a dozen projects done in V4, but this is our first in V6. Now that we've dialed in on the process, we've found the real issue with this file.
In project mode, it plays perfectly. It also renders the video-only stream just fine. But, it won't render audio. Except, to the "prerender" avi files. The AC3 render always fails at around 1500 to 1800 frames, which is 53 to 60 seconds into the video. Tried the separate-stream mpeg render also (m2v, mva?), failed at the same spot. (Sorry, one of my biggest troubleshooting issues is I have a day job, I'm not in front of the project until I get home).
I've copied the veg file out a bunch of times. Tried deleting all video, no go. Tried deleting audio at the point of failure, no go. Removed the first 75 seconds of everything on the timeline, no go. I had ram in the box with two different clock speeds. changed that, no go. So, what could this be, and does anyone have a suggestion on saving this file?
This project is a deliverable on 12/10 to a banquet group of 200. So while looking for a better solution, here is what I am doing. I am selecting a logical portion of the video (usually based on a song), and selecting Selective Prerender. I do get good avi files that way. At 10 seconds per avi file, I'll end up with about 260 files I intend to string together in a new project. It should work out, I tested it with the first 3 minutes, and got the results we needed. So, second question - if someone has a better way, please let me know.
I tried Render to New Track, but I think the project just overloaded the resources, it crashed at about the 10 minute mark. Our box has decent specs, but I must admit the base is a consumer HP POS that I built up. As soon as we can afford it, we'll get a Boxx box.
