Sounds like a job for Process Monitor. Find out what file that cryptic
error is talking about.

Just a month ago I was able to export viewport captures as
QuickTime files. Now, when I click on the 'Codec' button, if
either QuickTime or AVI is selected as the format, I get the
following error:
/'Could not create the file and initialize the render - verify
the path'/
I'm not sure what path it's talking about. This happens in both
2012 SAP and 2013...
