Problems with exporting my video. "Error code 39"

I got this too... but only with really large (>150gb, >12hr) files.  I think it's a disk space -- or Windows file size limitation thing.  As soon as I only exported my video in two pieces, it was fine.  

Every time i render edited episode on premier pro with greater length than 1 hr, facing this issue, it show erro code 39,  tried to render the episode by splitting in two parts, sucessfully done, but unable to do in one go. tried two different projects, please help.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions for this frustrating problem. In the end, for me, (Win10), it was as simple as not having enough free space left on my drive. As soon as I cleared ~70GB worth of files, it started working. (I was even able to update to the current version). Good luck

Thank you !!!! Just checked my data drive and low and behold it's almost full - 

Im getting the same - its now causing me issues within my business - I spent 2 hours with a remote worker yesterday trying to fix a different issue (they couldnt fix it and then I fixed it myself in 2 minutes flat by googling) now Im getting this and its wasting so much of my time . truly fed up

Could this be due to low space on the hard drive? I got the error, deleted a few things to free up some space and it worked. It looks like you need at least double the space of the exported file size on your disk for it to fully export. This worked for me.

Man! You're amazing! I had the same issue long ago and right now. This worked!! Thanks!

Having the same problem, I'm using a PC, file type I've been using is h.264 however after Clearing the media cache its working fine.

Good luck!

For me this error code 39 in Encoder came up when I wanted to replace a large file in a large edit. After reading all reactions in this topic I cleared all media cache files and removed any file with the same name so when I started up Premiere Pro again, it would ask me the proper file. It had another name and that was no problem: problem solved. So in my case it was a question of cleaning out adresses from the caches. 

My movie I'm trying to render is about 4 hours long and rendered at 4k. I've rendered it already at lower resolution without error. I'd really like to render it at 4k though. I'm not sure what i can do next. Maybe there is a way to make 4k but lower quality or bitrate or something??? It gave the error code sometime after it already reached 100% Thanks for any help i can get!
