I've only come across the "1 of 0" thing once, and for me it turned out to be that I had run out hard drive space. Hadn't realised that the projects (around 300) saved for my latest video had sneaked up to almost 20GB.

Just by way of an update, I think I may have figured out this bug. It started happening again last night when I was updating renders. In the Save As dialog, I would select the old render to overwrite it. A dialog box pops up, warning of the overwrite and asking if I want to proceed (as it should). I select, "Yes" and that's when I see "Rendering 1 of 0 images" and it hangs.

After two re-boots, I had the thought to try making a new file name and NOT overwriting.

That did the trick.

I got caught again tonight -- same thing -- overwriting a file, then the "1 of 0" crash. Very next reboot I remembered to not overwrite the last render. Gave it a new file name and it worked.

Seems to be a problem with the system not allowing the overwrite, even after I select "Yes."

Just figured I'd update here in case anyone else has this problem.

Thank you, Animagic,

I just use the default settings. After I typed my message last night, I rebooted and then it worked, but this is not always the case. Seems random, but when it happens it seems to happen a few times in a row.

I did think 81000 seemed like a LOT, but I was afraid to mess with it. 8100 is closer to the numbers I'm used to seeing in other compressors. I will try lowering the rate and see how the quality looks.

I like the compressor. Cuts the file size significantly without too much quality loss. Reminds me of the Panasonic DV Codec, which I used to use quite a bit till I began working in HD.

I'll keep an eye on it for any clues as to what might be triggering the crash.

Thank you for running the tests!

Peace,
Bud

I never use(d) MJPEG, but I tried and it seems to work for me, both for 32-bit or 64-bit iClone. I have no idea about the settings, but I used 8100 kB/s at 75%, as 81000 seems a lot. What would be the settings that you would use?

Hi All,

Lately I've been getting random crashes when rendering MJPEG compressed AVIs. All is well right up till I select the compression type and then enter.

The rendering dialog comes up per usual, but reads "Rendering 0 of 1 Images."

The first few times it happened I let it sit to see if it would respond, but I've since learned that it's a crash and so now I just force the program closed.

Restarting doesn't seem to help, neither does rebooting.

The only thing that works is to keep trying. So far around the 4th try (after a reboot/restart) seems to work.

But it's another workflow slow down for me.

Anyone else have experience with this or know what might be causing it?

Peace,
Bud
