Crashing on large h264 .ts file

[Croftie]

Hi, First can I just take this opportunity to thank you for this software, I really couldn't do without it and will be purchasing it at the end of the week. It's well worth the money, Thank You :)

Onto my problem, using TVSuite V4 4.20.6.612d with a 3GB h264 .ts file, when I try to save the whole file to h264 .mp4 the memory usage goes through the roof and VideoRedo crashes.

I was using a previous beta before i tried this one and the crash happen then aswell but a lot sooner than this later build.

Here is the info in the log file:

There are two files in the destination after the crash:

s21s - 82.4 MB
Top Gear s16e01.mp4 - 0 MB

Thanks for you help.

Try this... Open VRD, hold Shift and click Tools->Options. This will bring up a hidden list of options. Around #60 there is one called "Use FFmpeg for MP4" set it to true. Just below that is one called "Leave SPS/PPS in MKV/MP4 H.264 frames" set that to true as well, then hit OK.

Now try outputting your file again.

Much better Dan, the file saved and played fine after changing those options. Thanks :)
