    from the link above I had been advised to encode the footage qith quicktime png/animation so that adobe AE CS5 does a better job as i had issues with the rendering.

    well i tried and the image link in the above link shows an issue that ive got each time i try to encode with quicktime png/animation.

    also it seems to take around 4 hours just for 10 mins footage, and had taken 14 hours for around 1hr 40, but then failed within 1 hour of the end of the encoding

    That error seems to indicate that you have run out of disc space. How much space is free on the drive that you have designated as your temporary files folder (in Options | Preferences)? and how much free space is on the drive you are trying to render to? Quicktime PNG and Animation codecs produce huge files. Do you have the disc space for them?

    oh heck yeah, i am encoding in my spare 480 space.

    how ever at the time the temporay files were located default of the main drives. so dont know if that was a big issue.

    ive re formatted tstem and adjusted all the temp file locations to the larger hdd.

    silly thing is that its the same issue with AE aswell.

    ok did an encoe or at least tried to with quick time png 1280 res.

    now this happens with AE aswell, one of the errors which baffles me, is when it states a error has occured, you dont seem to have enough space (well along those lines)

    and both vegas an AE has this issues at 46gb mark.

    is there a setting or soemthign i should be doign since theres like 400gb spare?

    It could be that it’s rendering to the temp space and then copying the final output to the destination drive in which case it doesn’t matter how much space the destination drive has if the temp drive doesn’t have enough space.

    which doesnt make sense if i hve a good 400gb of space, by my judging it was around 2% encoding = 2.5gb ( as i watched the nubers grow. that means 100% would be arouns 125gb so even with the temp file you still have loads of room left.

    how much room shoud i have then needed to do a encoding for it to not have this issue.

    Matthew, potentially dumb question but is the problem drive formatted FAT32 or NTFS?

  • Mathew Lisett

    na not dumb at all, infact i like covering all bases helps the situation at times.

    how ever since i believe fat can only deal with less than 2gb, i woudl ahve though sicne its encoding to aroudn 46gb woudl be obvious.

    how ever i will give you the answer as, all drives are ntfs

    windows 7 x64 6gb ddr2 intel q6600 watercooled system.

    the slave drive is 498gb in size with now 334gb spare which should be plenty for this what i see as a simple process.

    never had an issue with encoding with the likes of full 1920 res hd bluray etc formats.

    You still haven’t told us how much space is free on the drive that you have designated as your temporary files folder (in Options | Preferences) in Vegas? You said it was your “default main drive” but how much free space is there on that drive?

    334gb spare <-------------- that is as close as it will get to a "designated" area of space for the project. also found that doing the encode in 10 min chunks hasnt a single issue. so now trying 20 min chunk see what happens. if that works, it means theres an issue somewhere , becuase each temp file has yet to go over 5mb even thought the ouput file has been 15gb. maybe the png/animation has limitations to the file size?

    ok so looking at the 3rd clip im doign which is now 20 mins in lenght and has 40 mins left in encoding.

    looked back at the secound clip with its temp file and its grown significantly from the first 5mb file temp.

    2nd file is 1.7gb

    and now the 3rd temp file which is still growing is currently 34.6gb where the physical file is 23.1gb so far

    to save space, is it safe to delete the temp files after its finished the encoded section that it is doing?
