There's a step during the Save As where you have some options on what
to do with the file -- specifically with the audio, IIRC.

This might be a moment where you have to tell VideoReDo to save the
audio in one of the files it's capable of encoding?

I'd be curious about the audio format of

your original file
the successful save where you had to clip 20 frames
the unsuccessful save

Again, I think you should be asking this on the VideoReDo forums,
where they say things like "Hit Ctrl-L, paste the contents of what you
see and we'll tell you how to fix it."


BTW, if you really have to dump 20 frames from the beginning, maybe
you should start by joining some 20-frame clip to the beginning of
this clip you're trying to save.
