Render To Disk Never Worked for me in V4 and V5

[serourian]

Hi, I'm really frustrated, and don't know why this is happening only with me,because never found a topic like mine.

I am trying to Render to Disk even the simplest scene: a cube rotating, nothing else !!!! When I start render to disk, as soon as it starts it hangs. I tried BMP,PNG, Qt ..... even at very low resolutions .. nothing works

I did it on my Toshiba Qosmio x70 and x75 computers, it doesn't render.
I tried on desktop computer with Quadro Graphics card on a computer which is $5500 .... and again nothing works.

Why I'm not able to record anything ?!?!?!? Is there any configuration in the card that I shall disable or anable?!??!

please, please help....

I can't make any type of demonstration. I am using Ventuz 4 and V5 designer.
I am using SSD drives.

regards.

hi serourian,

can't see any problem here. take a look to the video... but remove the .zip at the end of the filename.

I've had that issue too. Never tried solving it because I always use a video capture software. Usually the render to disk can't do what I need anyway

On my 299€ laptop RTD is working like a charme...
brand new not even updated lappy...

on all my machines here at work the RTD works...

i remember we had a small issue, when the HDD is full, it still renders to disk, but the whole sequence is lost. that should be fixed.

anyway:
Scene->New...->SIMPLE SCENE (the one with the rotating V box)
DONT CHANGE ANYTHING, NOR LAYER FX NOR ANYTHING!

click render to disk
set TIME BASED
capture duration 1 (30-60frames depends on config)
output: BMP
fps... 60
alpha: NO ALPHA

check path and basefilename...
back to control and hit render to disk..

anything?

please send over your config and one of the caputured screens...

It's working like a charm with Chriss!!!
I already opened a ticket with Ventuz customer support.

Here is whats happening with me:( download and remove the .zip at the end of the filename.)

No Dennis, it doesn't work for me. I used to use Frapps, Camtasia . .. they all capture screen,but here in Ventuz,no chance at all. Last time to output the render, I used Texture saver, which is not very good, because it drops frames. I need to render as any other package renders, like premiere , Avid . . . or at least like Blufftitler.
I got really exhausted trying all types of file types, sizes and methods.

Sou,

in your video i see some things i would like to avoid:

please really..

use NO configuration at all... means:
use for all V5 configurations "None"

start a new project full HD
create a new "simple scene" with the rotating cube

render to disk, time based, NO CODEC choose BMP, NO ALPHA
render to a standard path (like your d:\test)

if it stalls again, ok we have to generate a dump which i will explain later on.
(would be great if you could help us there to solve that issue!)

Thank you very much.

Could you find out whats the issue?

No, I can render at any resolution. It was just because I was putting settings for the video . . . .
When I put all none it really worked.
