I would recommend you save yourself the hackle and stress
and simply format the drive to NTFS.I dont see what could be
the mix opinions you get from people. Formatting to the better
format of NTFS is apple & oranges, its only an advantage.
You also said your renders are failing. Are you using a powerful pc?
Seeing the “No recompression required” is good,its smart rendering.
It means the footage is not going tru any further processing.
