Hi there,
I have a little issue with the new H264/H265 animation encoding feature. Doesn't matter which setup i choose (frame width, number and length of sections, engine type, multithread on/off, matrix type, encoding quality, run as admin, aso), it simply abordes the encoding. When i chosse, that it just have to encode 2 sections, it seems to encode properly, but the outcoming file is broken and can't be opened by any player. Even the VLC produces an error message. Tried on my main system with my licenced version (AMD CPU) and on my laptop with the free not-licenced version (Intel CPU). Both with the same result. Theora works fine.

Hi,

I did not mention that, but
new H.264/H.265 works only on GPUs with hardware support of that formats.

For instance, for Nvidia, you can check your Video Card here:
https://developer.nvidia.com/video-enco ... ort-matrix

Could you please post specs of your Video Cards, so I could check them too?

That explains a lot. I have in both systems older NVIDIA graphic cards.

Hi, I have a gold licence. H264/H265 encoding doesn't work in my case neither. After selecting H.264 or H265 it shows a progression of maximum 2 bars and afterwards it stops automatically without any output.
I checked the specs of my graphic card (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 (GP107M)) through your link, my card is supposed to be compatible with this encoding however I cannot make it work. :cry:
Excellent software by the way.

Hi,
Please try to turn OFF mutithreading in animation Options.
Also please try to enable/disable the sound.
I will check the issue on my side.
