I am trying to produce a 2 hour 56 minutes x.264 based GPU rendered m2ts file. The time line contains AVCHD, title texts, transitions, Music tracks. I have attempted this two times and PD8 crashes at 86% what a waste of time. Can some one guide me in getting a successful rendering to make a quality blu-ray DVD? Below is the config hardware and software.

The reason for x.264 format is to make use of X.V.Color as my TV KDL-52-XBR9 is capable of it. Otherwise I would go with the MPEG2, file size is not a problem. I have 50GB BD-R ready to go, but I am stuck with this rendering. I appreciate every one's effort in helping me.

Thanks,
Raj

I found that the crash is happening in ces_plugin.dll, version 6.0.0.2130, fault address 0x000a7e36.

Hi Raj, The reason you are overwhelmed with responses on this, I suspect is that we are all suffering from this problem to a greater or lesser degree - intermittently.
If you search the forum you will see numerous entries regarding this, it seems to manifest itself when switching between clips OR when there are titles OR too many PIP tracks OR Voice tracks OR ??? I currently have a support request (which I am told is with R&D) wherebye if I trim a clip and then reverse it, it crashes on the transition between this clip and the next. By pre processing the clip to an M2TS file in isolation (i.e it is the only clip on the time line!) and then adding back the rendered file to the time line it renders OK. Cyberlink have promised to come back to me.
Saying it crashes at 86% is not really useful if you can take a note of the "clock" when it crashes you will be able to pinpoint the clip it is either starting to render or will have already rendered. It may well be then worthwhile rendering those clip(s) by themselves and putting them back into your video. Sorry I can't be more helpful but there are people on this forum who may be able to help who are much more skilled than I.

Good Luck,

Don

PS I beleive it is important to render/produce to file first - then burn the file to your disc.

Thanks Donald,

I managed to get around the problem without crash!. The trick was to use a different transition and also I uninstalled and re-installed the software. Any way for now I should be fine. In general other than some intermittent problem PD8 is a great software out there for Blu-Ray rendering.

Thanks for sharing your trouble. Hope R&D figures out the problem soon and make all the frustrated customers happy!
