I captured about 30 minutes of DV from my JVC GR-DV500...after editing in Vegas, I frameserved it up to TMPGEnc. For the last four tries, everything crashes at 61%. Any reason for this?
It depends. Exceptions is really a rather large catagory of potential issues. The problem you are having may not be even remotely close to the problems others are encountering - it would depend on whether you are seeing the same footprint that others have posted.
have you tried a render using the Main Concept encoder rather then frameserving to TMPGEnc? Do you have the same problem?
I tried a segment where the video was freezing with MainConcept....after running through the 'system' setting, I got video but no audio....hmmm...no I'm thinking that it's crashing because of an audio glitch.
Next, I tried to run the same piece as elementary streams and it worked fine...I'll try to run the whole piece through MainConcept splitting the streams (I can always bring them back together in DVD-Lab)
Shot in the dark.... filling up your temp drive perhaps? I had problems frame serving to Camtasia producer until I realized it was creating an image of the audio track on my C drive and filling it up.
