Ed, Actually, your rendering parameter should be fine, since you are rendering from within Cinelerra. (I had initially thought you were rendering outside of Cinelerra). I do notice that your bitrate is extremely high. That shouldn't cause a problem in itself, but I've had crashes when using high bitrates like that. You may want to use a lower bitrate or a more common render setting that you know works, just to confirm if it is a problem in the timeline or the rendering parameters.
Also, I've had crashes due to problems in the timeline when rendering hour plus video out of Cinelerra for the following reasons: -a bug while stacking video effects (specifically, when the Sharpen effect was at the bottom of a stack of six other effects on a video track) - there were breaks between clips on the rendered video (if you zoom in all the way on a track, make sure the clips are aligned next to each other) Here's a couple tips from my Beginner's Guide to Rendering Video (http://crazedmuleproductions.blogspot.com/2007/06/beginners-guide-to-exporting-video-from.html) 1) Keep the start and end of your video and audio tracks perfectly aligned. Make sure to zoom in to less than five frames to verify this. 2) Also, I've gotten crashes if I have a transition that overlaps a very short bit of empty space between two adjacent audio or video clips. To stop this, I will go to the end of a clip, zoom in all the way, and make sure that the video and audio tracks end at the exact same time. If they don't end at the exact same time, I clip off a bit of whatever track is dangling by using the mark in/mark out indicators and doing a "cut". I can then be assured that when I paste a new segment to the end of this recently snipped one that the segments will align perfectly. Once the segments are aligned, I then apply the transition. For troubleshooting purposes, try to hone in on the exact moment in the timeline where the render breaks. I found the Sharpen effect problem by rendering the first half of the video in the timeline and then successively rendering smaller sections of the timeline until I found the exact place in the timeline where the render is breaking. At which point, it is a matter of either finding a hole in the video or turning off effects/transitions until your render tests work without crashing. This time consuming; however, if you've spend a lot of time editing, it is the only way to salvage all your hard editing work. scott _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
