[HELP] Hybrid stops coding

[OldGamer]

I absolutely do not understand what the problem is. In the program, in a video file or in the settings. Just in case I attach a log. Coding breaks already on the final credits when this zone is encoded with qp = 35
Tried to google this problem, but failed

[Selur]

You forgot to attach a debug output log,...
Also I'm not sure what you mean with 'Coding breaks already on the final credits when this zone is encoded with qp = 35',...

[OldGamer]

Indeed, I forgot to attach the archive with the log. Fixed it in the first message.

Sorry for bad English. In the encoding settings, I specified the key "--zones 168042,173346, q = 35" and an error occurred when the video was encoded in this range.

[Selur]

Ah okay, got it will look into it and report back.

The encoding call:

Looks fine to me and the syntax of the 'zones' part (matches the definition, see: https://x265.readthedocs.io/en/default/c...tion-zones)
-> Do you get any error messages when calling the encoding call inside a Windows Command Prompt? (using the call here throws no error)

No, no error messages, just started coding

[Selur]

Okay.
According to the error log the encoder crashed after '09:42:01.355', could either be a bug in x265 in handling the zones or a memory and/or heat issue,..
The amount of RAM used is ~2GB here, so that shouldn't be an issue. My guess is that heat or faulty memory is the problem.
(as a side node: using placebo usually isn't worth the time spend, I would recommend to use 'slower' or 'very slow' instead.)

Ps.: I guess is doesn't crash if you use 'ultra fast' as preset.

[OldGamer]

'ultra fast' preset worked fine. Will try veryslow
