I've been having a similar issue. When I attempt to render, the program either completely crashes, asking me to send a report on what happened, or it gives me this error messsage about failing to encode video frame.
I've tried changing quicktime to MP4, same problem.
I've tried rendering at 720p instead of 1080p, same problem.
I've tried rendering at a slower speed, same problem.
And a combination of these things, all the same problem.
BUT, I DID find a combination of settings that worked. Previously, I was attempting to render at 30FPS, as the original footage is 30 (I'm using captured video game footage). 24 FPS doesn't look very good with video game footage, but I decided to try rendering that anyway. I kept it on QuickTime and H.264, 1080p, and set the render speed at 25. It's now rendering, albeit at the slow pace that I selected.
I think that when I began the project, I didn't select 30 FPS for playback and timeline. I'm not an expert at all with this program, but I suspect my particular problem may have to do with frame per second issues.
I'm using the free version of Resolve 15, by the way.
