SUMMARY Archiving to zip creates corrupt zip-file STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open project 2. Archive to zip (no other options selected) OBSERVED RESULT A zip-file (21.8 GB) is created. Testing the zip via 7zip gives the following error: Header Error Unconfirmed start of archive Warnings: There are some data after the end of the payload data The mp4 in the zip is truncated(!) and unusable! EXPECTED RESULT a zip-file which does not contain errors SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Windows 10 Pro / 20H2 / 19042.928 KDEnlive: 20.12.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This error is 100% reproducable for different projects Archiving to tar.gz does not give an error
Thank you for reporting. A couple of archiving issues are fixed in the meantime. Please try with the nightly build to see if your issue is fixed. https://kdenlive.org/en/download/ -> scroll down and choose standalone version for testing.
Version 21.04.3 still generates a corrupt zip archive file (Win10)
Zip version was updated in the package lately (on Win7 it works). Please test with tomorrow's nightly build if the backup zip file is still corrupt: https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/Kdenlive_Nightly_mingw64/
Tested with nightly build 21.11.70 (Non blocking) errors while extracting tar or zip (using 7zip 64bit) zip: 'Warning: 32-bit overflow in headers' tar: 'unexpected end of data' kdiff does not show any difference in the extracted files
So you are saying with the daily build it works beside the warnings? Nevertheless can you upload here a small backup zip-file which "contains" the error?
I'm trying to reproduce the error with freely available video and audio files, but to no avail (even projects larger than 1 GB archive correctly). My projects are usually larger than 5 GB. Since I'm unable to help, (the problem is not solved) I'll close the story and make my archives uncompressed and compress them later.
Thank you for the feedback. Yes this is a good workaround.
