Suddenly this morning I am getting this error when trying to playblast to QT format:


// Error: line 0: Unable to create video track. Check format.


This was working fine just last week. I have Quicktime Pro and the installation is working as normal. Tried deleting prefs, still no go.


Anyone have any ideas?


I love these constant workflow disruptions with Maya.

Sometimes there's this rogue QuickTime process that you need to kill. Don't remember it's name at the moment but check your running processes.

Yeah, it's quicktimeShim.exe


Now I know.


Thanks!
