I fixed one internal error just this morning, and when I got on tonight there was a new one. Internal error code: 256.
What is this and how do I fix it?

Hello Mandie,

Try to provide some additional information about the error:
- describe your actions step by step;
- specify the format of the file you are trying to convert and its origin;
- specify at what moment the error occurs.
- attach the error printscreen of the error

Best Regards

I also have this same problem. how do I make a screen shot?

To: sean.popplewell@gmail.com

Hi,
you can make a screenshot using the keyboard PrintScreen button. After you press it, open the Microsoft Paint program and paste the screenshot into it using the paste option or Ctrl+V key combination. Finally you can save the image into a file with .bmp or .png extension.
Best regards.

Same problem here with AVS4YOU Video Converter v6.2.2.287. Screenshot attached.

Error Message = "An internal error was encountered (code: 256). Please, contact the support service if this error persists."

Any help is appreciated.

Please download and install the latest version of the program: http://www.avs4you.com/AVS-Video-Converter.aspx

to all who got this problem:

the solution is quite simple: there are two things you have to check.
1) I got this problem, when i chose device "I:" as output folder which was an external harddrive so he couldn't find any folder on that drive.
-> choose a folder or drive your computer can find. ^^

2) check if your output folder is write protected. that would be the second thing.

all in all i can say that error 256 mainly depends on a directory problem. so check all things about input and output.
greetings

yes kina is correct, I too recived this code error and double checked my output file name and did not have a full path in there. When i did put the full path in there it worked like a charm.

Have you checked your output file name? Do you get this error converting certain file or every file?

Hello,

Please make sure that you have the latest version AVS Video Editor 6.0., which can be downloaded from this link.

At which exact step of producing video you get this error?

Best regards.

I too am having this problem (never had it before). I downloaded everything that was mentioned and tried everything to fix this problem but still it does not work. I don't know what to do and I'm beyond frustrated with the program. I go to produce and boom... error 256. Any ideas?..

To: Laiisease

Hello,

Please make sure you have the latest version AVS Video Editor 6.1.2.211

If it does not help, please give the details about the problem:

- specify the format of the files you work with. their location and origin.
- specify which format you produce your project to and which output settings you select.
- specify your PC configuration (Operating System, CPU, Ram).

Best regards.

plus:

3) Make sure, not only the output PATH is correct, but also it contains a valid filename and EXTENSION.
Example:
Outputfile: I:\anypath\filename -> error 256
Outputfile: I:\anypath\filename.m4v -> works fine
