SUMMARY
I was making a short animation at 12 fps with audio and tried to render it. I've done it before and know the process, so I just clicked the button. I prefer to render as an .MKV, though the problem still happened when I tried other formats. The rendering would get to 98% and then cut to an error message with "Unknown Error." The animation is only 500~ frames.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Animate something IDK
2. Try to render?
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Render would fail for unknown reason.

EXPECTED RESULT
Animation. Rendering.
