Video rendering problem
-
Hi all, I've been making a video of me making a panther CLV using FRAPS and WAX 2.0. The recording itself went fine, and wax worked fine with editing the video, and when I went to render it it appeared to work, until I got the rror "unable to read element data"
It managed to render a small amount of the 10 mminute video, if that can provide any clues then here it is

Hi Alex,
While recording the video, what format were you recording it?
Can it happen to be too long to keep everything in the RAM until you hit the render?How about just recording smaller portions, rendering the videos and finally stitching them together?
-
whilst recording it, it was AVI. however, this was over 4GB so for the render I first converted to mpeg and then swf when that didn't work, I'c currently uploading that so see if it has any difference
-
I am pretty sure it's some RAM issue then (4Gb is extremely huge!).
Would your initial AVI run at all?
-
Any idea how I can solve it?
-
You might need to take it to the wax site and ask around there. I agree it also sounds like a memmory issue. Perhaps this wax software has known memmory issues?
What about editing the videos in Windows Movie Maker? I've used that with Fraps rather succesfully in the past.

wax's forum is rubbish, and movie maker crashes whenever I try to save something
-
How about VirtualDub then? To me it has always served pretty well. (I do not use either of your apps so I cannot really suggest any more valuable)
-
Thanks gai, I'll get it and see how it does
-
Gonna have to do some pride-swallowing here. . .
Gai, thanks for all the help and patience, and thanks for the virtualDub link. However, I said before that windows movie maker didn't work, trouble is, something has happened since I last used it that means it now works, sorry bout that. Need a bit more help, on movie maker I have put all the footage together( it was in many separate files) but it si 2 hours long, how do I speed up the footage to get ti to a decent length? -
I really do not know that, sorry. I have never added such footage myself.
-
K i'll google it, thanks for your help gai
-
Its 2 hours long? How rae you thinking to get it to a reasonable size? And what is reasonable to you? Like 5 minutes? Or like 30?
Are you planning to take it down in size by cutting out the less important parts? Or by speeding it up?
I have to be working in Movie Maker today and probably through the rest of the week. I don't remember how to speed things up or slow them down, but if I see how I'll come back and post here. I know it used to be possible.

yeah I wanna speed it up so that it's less than 10 minutes, then I can get it on youtube
-
In the Video effects, there is a "Speed Up, Double" option. So you can apply that as many times as necessary to get it under 10 minutes.
There might be another way, but I am not sure right now.

K I tried that, trouble is you can only apply it to one file at a time, and that's a right bitch when there are files, which have been split up into 20 different pieces by movie maker, is there a way to merge all the files into one, or apply an effect to all pieces at once?
-
Yup, You can go to the video effects window. Now right click on the speed up effect and choose "copy". Then select all your clips in the storyboard with ctrl-a. Now press ctrl-v to paste the effect onto all clips. That should do it. And you can paste it in as many times as needed. Though after each paste, you will need to re-select all with ctrl-a again.
See if that works.
