Like everyone else I have been playing with PD11. I would download a bunch of you tube videos (G scale model trains). As I do not have any of my own. I would put them in the timeline and do everything I wanted to with them.

Then I would try render to the different formats. I would get a video source error on rendering. I normally do not preview while rendering, so I then previewed while rendering and when it crashed. I would go look at thet video. It would play fine, convert fine, anything I wanted to do with it. I would put it back in a different format, and I would get the same error on the same video.

Very strange. I should also add that after trying over 60 video clips, it has only done this on two that I got from youtube. I also got videos from my news feeds and other online video pages and none of those acted up.

That's about all I have had a problem with..... and for me that isn't a real problem.... just an observation.... __________________________________________

I used to have a similar problem and I believe it was the audio used in the FLV file. Somewhere in the version 10 releases I think it was fixed, but check with Media Info or GSpot and see if the ones that give you problems have the same audio codec. May have been mp3, I don't remember for sure.

Also, some YouTube videos are in mp4 format. Do those give you problems? __________________________________
