[HELP] Processes 20 minutes of video then white screen

[Miranda]

I'm doing an upscale from VHS, Hybrid runs then suddenly stops and exports an incomplete file, with nicely upscaled video followed by a blank white screen.

FFmpeg reports no errors (exitcode: 0 and exitStatus: 0) and created S:\LastHorrorFilm\Last-Temp\LastHorrorFilm-MyCapture_2022-09-01@10_43_22_8910_04.mov (11659.2 MB).
From the looks of it the vspipe simply stopped without an error.

My guesses atm. are:

• LWLibavSource has some issue with the source. -> Try whether you can play the file in the Vapoursynth Preview starting at frame 13918.
  As alternative to LWLibavSource you could try using FFMS2 by disabling 'Prefer LWLibAVSource over FFmpegSource2'.
  
• LWLibavSource might loose access to the file due to some virus scanner or network disturbance (in case the file is not locally).
  
• VsPipe gets closed or the communication between it and FFmpeg gets interrupted for some unknown reason by some virus scanner or similar.

I really need to find out what exactly is causing this issue. I'm processing captured VHS on a 2TB hard drive, with 1.6TB of free space. Latest de-bug file attached. Would re-installing Hybrid help?

I really need to find out what exactly is causing this issue.

So, did you try what I suggested?
Also make sure your system CPU, GPU, RAM are not overclocked.

Latest de-bug file attached.

Don't see any errors or similar there, seems like everything worked. And the queue was finished without a problem.

Would re-installing Hybrid help?

I doubt it, this does not seem like a Hybrid bug.

The strange thing is Hybrid used to work on the same PC perfectly. I am at a loss to find out why it started producing mainly white files. I'm using a dev version you sent over so I could output interlaced upscales. Perhaps there is something different in this version? (2022.07.19.1)

I will try disabling 'Prefer LWLibAVSource over FFmpegSource2' and report back.

How can I find out if the system CPU, GPU, RAM are overclocked?

How can I find out if the system CPU, GPU, RAM are overclocked?

if you did not overclock it, and you bought a pre-build system, it's probably not.
You could also use CPU-Z to check the clock speed of your cpu and memory and GPU-Z to check the gpu speed.

Perhaps there is something different in this version? (2022.07.19.1)

Mainly the dll versions changed, but if it was a general problem the whole clip would be white, not just starting at a specific position.
Also, if you encode the same clip is it always white starting at the same position?
