Okay, so I'm in a desperate situation.

I'm supposed to be rendering my feature film for submission to a major
film festival, the deadline for which has been extended for me by one
day.

So, in typical procrastinating indie filmmaker fashion, I'm only NOW
just rendering the movie for the first time.

Result: disaster.

It stopped rendering about 3 or 4 hours into the supposed 5 hour
render (I am rendering HDV to DV mpeg).

I went and looked at what the file is, and it stopped at 53 minutes of
70. More disconcertingly, the footage that IS there in the file
looks HORRID -- like, sub-cell phone camera quality.

What am I doing wrong? I would be so grateful for any help you can
give, I need to have this thing rendered and at the FedEx office at
some point today (Saturday 29 September).

Please contact me, if you want I am more than happy to pay you for the
time it takes to advise me. I am desperate for help now. Please
contact me at rgould9@gmail.com
