It's happening on my latest Dell XPS 13 with Tiger Lake i7 CPU. Rendering out an h264 with old settings now to see if the issue also appears here.
/edit: Yes, rendering h264 is fine. Must be a bug that needs to be squashed with 265. I tried h265 .mp4 and .mov renderings, all failed.
Most excited to have h.256 hardware accelerated rendering in the free version! But...it doesn't work! It starts rendering at much higher framerate than h.264 but doesn't complete the render.
I have the same problem like Andy's. Symptoms appear to be the same. h.264 rendering is OK but it's so much slower.
The h265 renderer seems to be stuck when it transits between cuts or clips. The playback head just gets stuck and the progress percentage and time remaining doesn't progress.
I can stop the render but the rest of the UI is unresponsive. I can quit Davinci Resolve but it prompts me to either continue the render or to stop and quit (which I have already did).
I tried rendering at a slower frame rate timeline (a 24 fps timeline seems have the greatest chance of success), but it's also a hit-and-miss. Sometimes it completes the render, but other times it doesn't.
So far all my source material is in h.264 from various cameras and video capture devices at 50 or 60 fps. None managed to reliably be rendered out in h.256. Quicktime, MP4 - nope...
The "crashed" output video file cannot be deleted in Windows until a system restart. It's basically a corrupted file.
Attaching the logs after the "crash" but generated after restarting Davinci Resolve. Hope it helps.
