Fail to export video on bluestacks/windows

Quentin

Hi,
I wanted to work on my track video from my PC.
Everything work fine until last step when I launch the video export. (if I try the exact same export from my phone it works)
Does anyone had this issue ?

Is there a way on racechrono to know why the export failed ? (Only the video export seems to fail, tried quality and hardware accelaration, no diif)

I tried again with the "save debug logs" option.
Any idea what the issue is ?

Maybe try lower resolution? I'm not expert on BlueStacks at all, and I don't know what kind of hardware it emulates, but 2.7K resolution is quite high.

Hi,

I know the original post is nearly two years old, but I'm new to RaceChrono and have the same issue, and hoping that a workaround may have been found by OP ?

I didn't found the "save debug logs" option, but have the same behaviour : video export with overlay always fails instantly on BlueStacks 5 (5.21.217.1010 P64) emulating a Samsung S22 Ultra. Tried with Android Pie and Android 11, same behaviour.

I know the input files are very high res (GoPro 11, 4k recording), and I tried every output quality settings without any change. I also tried exporting only one lap, but same issue. On Android Pie, I tried in both hardware and software mode, same issue.

Double-post because another thread from chiller about exporting just the overlay made me try to do just that... And it worked perfectly fine.

So I'm guessing it's definitely the high definition that cause the issue, and a workaround is to export the overlay with a blue screen and editing it on the 4K GoPro footage with an editing software.
