I hesitate to answer that because
a. Program A works well on system A but program B doesn't. Often system specific for a given program.
I was frustrated with parts of Adobe CS* until I installed it on a different system with about equal specs; go figger. Worked well on one, not the other.

b. I don't personally have the corrupted file experience enough to theorize.

To me, a progress bar stopping tells me the program started the process (indicating all appeared well) and hit a stumbling block where it stopped. Corruption is just a theory, could be out of space, interruted process, etc.

I've suggested many many times here, and often get drilled with the "WHY?" afterwards, but ..
Everything works smoother and faster here when I use a separate drive for Temp Audio.
That and enough RAM are two huge factors when reccording/editing audio and video.

I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
