Recording Failed: Failed to Encode The Video Frame Error

Hello,

In one sentence or less, any type of codec I try to encode with other than Quick Time (Mpeg or H.264) fails to encode.

I'd like to encode in some uncompressed fashion because the delivery is not the final iteration of the product, I am going to edit and encode again in another NLE, so, what I expect is I'm rendering at, just throwing out a random number here: 80% of the Original's quality, then when I am in the other NLE, that 80% quality clip will be rendered at 80%, and that will make the final 60%. I want to start at 100% in the other NLE after doing color correction in DR, and re-encode there.

I could be wrong, but that's what I'm used to in Photoshop opening and saving lossy JPEG's over and over, you lose quality each time. Is that the same here?

But my main question is, why the "RECORDING FAILED" error all the time, this has been happening for a few years since I've been working with DR, and it didn't become an issue until I needed to encode uncompressed, or in an otherwise lossless format. I chalked it up to a semi-defeatist reasoning of "it's not meant to be." But now it kind of has to be, correct me if I'm wrong.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Maybe a different format from the ones I've tried which include:
Quicktime Uncompressed RGB 8-Bit
Quicktime Uncompressed BRGB 8-Bit
Quicktime Uncompressed RGB 10-bit
Quicktime Uncompressed YUB 8-Bit
Quicktime Uncompressed YUB 422 8-Bit
AVI Cineform YUV
Actually All the AVI formats...

It has to be a format recognized by Premiere Pro CC.

Maybe it's a hardware issue? But QT MPEG4 and H.264 always work fine. If someone could edify me on this process a bit I'd be grateful. Thank you so much

The machine will collapse if it can't handle the extreme bandwidth necessary for true lossless. I have seen fairly hefty Macs give up trying to export TIFF sequences longer than a minute.

My advice would be to go with a "virtually" lossless 10-bit format like ProRes 444 or ProRes 444HQ. As long as you have significant CPUs, GPUs, and fast storage, those two formats will not be a problem for editing or color. Determining initial workflow is always a major decision, but you have to live with the realities of time, money, and available hardware.

My anecdotal experience is that if you saved and slightly changed a 444 4K file 10 times, there would be no qualitative difference from the original file to version #10 (assuming the image wasn't twisted beyond recognition in color). If you were just editing, there should be no difference, no artifacts, no motion problems, nothing.
