I have just encountered the same problem everyone seems to have lately. The issue seems to be worryingly contagious. I have been desperately trying to compile a film in 1080p avi (default settings) since yesterday, to no avail. I won't be able to upload a zip with all the files I am currently using - the files I use are much too big -, but here are the conclusions I have made. They will hopefully help your staff, Vlad.
- It seems clear to me that the problem is related to the presence of overlay videos in the project (another user mentioned the same conclusion a few posts earlier). The main reason is : all the films I compiled yesterday worked fine, except for the one that included a "massive" number of overlay videos (35 in just 4 minutes). The film, which is about 20 minutes long, crashes when the compilation is almost over (85,3%). It *always* crashes at the exact same moment, right in the middle of an overlay video. The size of the corrupt video file is 540 Mo.
Now, not all films including overlay videos will crash. Some of the films I compiled yesterday did contain a few overlay videos, and none of them crashed while compiling.
- It also seems clear to me that the problem is related to the output format. If I pick 720p avi (default settings), the film with the 35 overlay videos will be compiled smoothly until its very end. If I pick 1080p avi (default settings) however, the film *will* crash at 85,3% - that never fails.
I am using the latest version of Video Editor. My 64 bits Win 7 laptop has a P8600 Core 2 Duo 2,4 Ghz cpu with 4Go RAM. The video files I use are .m2ts / 1080p / 5.1 sound.
