Yes, please do a fresh download and test it. I will await your results before making a test build for you.

Do you have any further test results for us, MeteorRain? One of the recent updates fixed a race condition that could cause problems like yours.

So far so good, tried encoding like 30 files and haven't hit the issue yet.

One more hit right now. Almost doing nothing just have about 40 windows on the desktop.

Ctrl-C and retry worked.

Maybe you ran out of memory.

I don't think so, as it sometimes happens right after an encode, so at least 3-4GB of memory is freed right before running dgnv.

And I do have 16GB of memory, not that much but not easy to be used up as well :?
