Fix output video

Post by bobbob601 »

Hi,

I'm rendering a video and it takes...weeks to do it even with a good machine because the soft does not seem to use GPU or the full RAM of my computer (32Go).

I ran a rendering which almost finished after 4 weeks but then I had to restart the computer and I lost everything. I found the "in progress" video in AppData, with a nonstreamable extension.

the file is "corrupted" because the index is missing and will be created at the end.

is it a way to fix the file ? I tried several "mov repair Tools" but none of them seems to know this format nor how to fix it.


Thanks :)

You were very patient, and unfortunately, I don't think the file can be repaired. [:(]

Note that using the GPU would require some big changes in the program and wouldn't probably improve that much the rendering speed if you have a good CPU. Please, see also the FAQ How can I speed up the rendering process in photo and video creation panes?

Hi Emmanuel,

Thanks for the quick answer and no prob for the GPU, I know how it can be hard to implement. I also tried the FAQ advices but removing objets or lights is what I need and also why I need the good quality video.

I tried the "level 3" of quality to get this video (40h of computing) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFV9GIr ... e=youtu.be

But I don't like the fact that walls are shiny (maybe I can disable it somewhere) and also because it produce some artefacts.


Regarding the video, do you use a specific codec ? Maybe I can develop something which can recreate the video index from the frames ?

The tool that assembles JPEG images to video uses a Quicktime descriptor.

Thanks. It seems that I'll have to install Eclipse afeter 15 years using visual studio :)

If I succeed to make Something clear, I'll share the source code with you in case it can be useful to someone else

Hi Bobbo
I thought both the house and the video were awesome, [:-$], as for the technical help, no idea, i can barely create an image.
Again well done!
Mike
