Can "File extends beyond end of segment." be fixed in kdenlive?

Help

I’m trying to modernize my video library, and ran into a crash when rendering a zone with one of the clips.

Is this intended behavior? Can it be fixed in kdenlive? Or, what would be the proper way to fix this?

Rendering of /mnt/Home/Videos/video.mp4 crashed

Your video.mp4 file seems to be “corrupted”. Such a crash should not happen. Can you upload video.mp4 so I can test?

I’ll see if I can find one that I am able to share. I don’t believe I can upload this one.

I haven’t looked in detail at how the render server works yet, but I don’t think that’s a ‘crash’ in kdenlive (despite the kdenlive error message using that word), or anything that can (or “needs to be”) be fixed in kdenlive …

That’s just kdenlive, handling mlt, handling ffmpeg choking on your original source file, as best as they each can in that case. There’s not much else we can do at this level - unless in future we also become a wrapper around various file repair tools, but that’s probably a bit out of scope.

How was this file recorded? My first guess would be that it was a streaming capture that ended abnormally without updating the file metadata. You probably want to look at what mkv/webm repair tools are available for your platform and see what they can do to fix this issue with the file.
