Keep in mind that when prepping a Quicktime, Softimage actually writes a small header to the intended capture file before you actually do the capture. Not sure if Windows video codecs do the same, but wouldn't be surprised.
If for some odd reason the file path you set is invalid (check to see how your tokens resolve!) or if it goes to a directory that lacks write permissions, this can be an issue. In your case, it's probably not this issue, but just thought I'd put this out there. :-) On Tue, Mar 5, 2013 at 10:55 AM, Matt Morris <[email protected]> wrote: > Well either a restart or renaming the save file to a new name normally > solves it for me, but it does pop up way to often... > > > > On 5 March 2013 16:39, Tim Crowson <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I get the error no matter where I'm outputting the file.
