The Vikpea anime encode gets to 99% and it just sits there. For hours

HitPaw VikPea FAQ

I had this happen back in January, but it seemed to go away. (Software update?).

I am using the Animation Model on some old anime.

They are all MP4 files with 2 audio tracks and 1 or 2 subtitle tracks.

I put 20 files in the Video Enhancer and select Animation Model.

And start the encode. Everything seems fine. The GPU is being used.

However; at around 98 or 99% encode the process just stops. The GPU is NOT being used.

And it will still there until I intervene.

After some experimentation I found if I run one encode at a time; then wait for the encode to reach 98 or 99% encode; and see that it’s stopped; I press pause. Wait a moment, then press resume. The encode checks itself and then comes to an end. Successfully.

Which is nice, but if I want to encode 20 or 30 files overnight, it’s a pointless exercise.

So has anyone encountered this? If so do you have a resolution?

Or something I can check; as I’m out of ideas; EXCEPT for uninstalling Hitpaw Vikpea and reinstalling it “fresh”.

Thanks for your time.

I thought I’d take my own advice on this one and un=install, then re-install Vikpea.

And oddly enough that appears to have worked.

I have no idea why, unless it was a software problem that was cleared by the fresh install.

Anyway, working again. I’ll follow up again tomorrow.
