Problems with exporting my video. "Error code 39"

This is a little bit of both a bug report and discussion, but I put it under bug report because that's the closest it's going to get about this topic.

The known issue of NVIDIA and Premiere Pro not working together and crashing has been causing me more issues than just crashing. I first ran into error code 39, then it started giving me other errors that I don't exactly remember what they said, though it exported 1 video 3 times when I clicked export once, and all of the videos were corrupt files. I also ran into this problem last night while trying to export the same video, waiting around 10 minutes for the 100% to go away and give me the notification that it had been exported, but I got tired of waiting, tried canceling, and Premiere crashed.

Does anyone have any possible solutions to this?

I received this error recently. I spent hours troubleshooting and finally found a solution

 

The issue I had is that my harddrive/storage was full. I deleted some files and the file exported successfully. Right click your harddrive and select properties(windows) and make sure you have enough space for the new exported file to save on the harddrive. I recommend freeing up double the space of the new file.

 

Let me know if this works for you. Happy Editing

I tried that but no change for me yet. Exporting 4 hours of video which took around 16 hours... Failed at the very end. Getting really frustrating this.

Updating Nvidia drivers solved the problem for me.

I worked aroudn this by choosing software render instead of using hardware render. Donwside: render time multiplied by 5. Adobe, any idea on when this will be solved? Is it really an Nvidia issue? Are you coordinating to solve it?

I've also been having the same issue. Sometimes even when I hit the export button, it doesn't show the window to do so. So strange.

THANK YOU for posting this!!! I have been having the same issue for the past three nights trying to export a video. Getting the same error over and over with error code 39.

 

I tried making changes to the video, but the same error pops up. Restarted, uninstalled, reinstalled, etc etc - same issue.

So I have about a 15 minute long video that I am trying to export but for some reason it is failing to export every single time and it is always near the end of the video and I can't work out why. I get 39 and I am writing with exporter H.264. The file type is H264 and the average timecode when it fails to finish the encode is 00:15:17:13. The video is mp.4 and the audio is AAC. Please help!
