Hi everyone,

I also have problems rendering any of the Video RT, similar to some post here reporting the same issue.
I have the 505 update rev, Quick Time most recent version, the problem is present in windows xp (sp3) and the same in Windows 7 SP1.
After an audio convertion error, the audio is apparently re-rendered using an alternate method, after that the video rendering is frozen in "Rendering video 1 of 1" status forever.

Band in a box yellow boxes report:
"Rendering audio..." Audio Conversion Error: Media Foundation falied to m4a. Trying alternate conversion method... The error numbre is -1
- Converting file: [path]_Render_DragDrop_0.WAV
- File is successfuly rendered for drag and drop
- Rendering video 1 of 1

I traced the disk activity during the rendering proccess with a file monitor, which did report this:
- QUERY INFORMATION C:\BIAB_mySongs\Guitar[V] video.mp4 = NOT FOUND / Attributes: Error
- QUERY INFORMATION C:\Band in a Box\Data\VJT\OutProgress_100.txt = SUCCESS / Attributes: A
- QUERY INFORMATION C:\Band in a Box\Data\VJT\sourceVid3.mp4 = NOT FOUND / Attributes: Error
- QUERY INFORMATION C:\BIAB_mySongs\Guitar[V] video.mp4 = NOT FOUND / Attributes: Error
- QUERY INFORMATION C:\Band in a Box\Data\VJT\OutProgress_100.txt = SUCCESS / Attributes: A
- QUERY INFORMATION C:\Band in a Box\Data\VJT\sourceVid3.mp4 = NOT FOUND / Attributes: Error
- QUERY INFORMATION C:\BIAB_mySongs\Guitar[V] video.mp4 = NOT FOUND / Attributes: Error
- QUERY INFORMATION C:\Band in a Box\Data\VJT\OutProgress_100.txt = SUCCESS / Attributes: A
- QUERY INFORMATION C:\Band in a Box\Data\VJT\sourceVid3.mp4 = NOT FOUND / Attributes: Error
and so on in a endless loop...

What is wrong or what I am missing? need help. Thanks.

When it is stuck on "Rendering video 1 of 1" does the progress bar move at all, or is it stuck at zero percent?

Can you give an example name of the RealTrack you are trying to make a video out of?

Hi Blake, thanks for reply.

The green progress bar appear already full at 100% (no previous filling on display) and stuck there. My file activity monitor (Filemon) show a infinite loop as I describe in my post.

However the instrument notation is rendered well and I get the final video well rendered, as long as videos of the performing instrument are not included, only notation, otherwise it gets stuck.

Even after update to 506, actually the issue still happening with all realtrack video styles, such as:

Style is _GOGETER.STY (Go Get 'Er Hustling Jazz Shuffle)
Style is _BIGRIG.STY (Big Rig Train-Beat Country)
Style is _HOTCLUB.STY (Hot Club Gypsy Jazz w Solo)
and more.

My report on build 507 update (Thanks for the effort)

- No longer stuck in "Rendering video 1 of 1"
- Notation video render works flawlessly, as long as there are not instruments video included in the render setup.
- Instruments video render still don't working.
- As the 507 update inform, now there is a message log describing the video render error in technical terms.

The ErrorLog reads :

log_VideoJoin.txt

Are you running as Administrator?

Right-click BiaB desktop icon and select 'run as administrator' and see if there is an improvement.

Thanks, yes, and full admin privileges account.
I wonder if Band in a Box uses its own set of codecs to create the video, in this case mp4, or if it uses the codecs available in the system. I could try a fresh new codecs installation and test.

I have to mention that the audio is rendered without problems, but with not video the only way is to look manually for the audio file in the saving folder.

Frank,

Are you running BiaB as administrator? It may be privilege related.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
