Step-by-Step Fix

1

Switch to CPU Encoding

Try "Software Encoding" if hardware (GPU) encoding fails.

2

Free Up Space

Ensure the destination drive has plenty of room.

Ensure your app supports your GPU's latest drivers.

When to See a Technician

Encoding failures are often due to the GPU encoder (NVENC/AMF) hitting an unsupported parameter or overheating.
