Setting Parameters using melt (rendering doesn't stop, file seems stuck at 10 min. mark) #159
Description
I'm trying to render a long file. I found this article, which is helpful, since the GUI rendering system suddenly stops rendering (times out?) after 7 hours: jliljebl/flowblade#327
Here's my issue. I've tried 3 times today to render a large file using the following:
melt move.xml -consumer avformat:movie.mov f=mov acodec=pcm_s24le ac=2 vocodec=prores vprofile=2 vender=ap10 pix_fmt=yuv422p10le
What then happens is the rendering begins, but... after an hour or more the file reached 34 GB and continued to increase. I pressed 'q' to quit the render. I opened the file, and after an hour or more of rendering this 34 GB file, only 9 minutes and 40 seconds of video had rendered. Furthermore, upon playback, the quality is jumpy and not smoothly playable (though that could be because I quit the rendering abruptly).
Upon hitting 'q," I did get the message: "Timestamps are unset in a packet for stream 1. This is deprecated and will stop working in the future. Fix your code to set the timestamps properly."
Can you please tell me what arguments I can add to allow the file to properly render? I need to render a high quality version of this file, and feel stuck, since I don't know why it's not properly rendering. I'm inputting the arguments as they appear in the "Render using args" box. The render does happen, but the render (seemingly) continues forever. A 34 GB file for nine minutes is bizarre to me. There has to be something I'm missing. Please help.
