    <p>I am currently capturing video and audio using AVCaptureSession and have set up the pipeline to write out the data to disk using an AVAssetWriter. For short videos this is working fine absolutely no issues. </p> <p>However if the length of the recorded media goes over some arbitrary time, usually around 2 minutes then the call to finish writing fails but still manages to produce a video file that only plays back around 50% of its content. I continuously call isReadyForMoreMediaData and appendSampleBuffer during writing and they always returns true. I seem to get no notification that something has gone wrong until the finishWriting call.</p> <p>The AVAssetWriters Error is set to the following after the failed finishWriting call</p> <pre><code>Capture failed to end with status 3 and error Error Domain=AVFoundationErrorDomain Code=-11800 "The operation could not be completed" UserInfo=0x210b7880 {NSLocalizedFailureReason=An unknown error occurred (268451843), NSUnderlyingError=0x210b1ee0 "The operation couldn’t be completed.

Or know what stuff goes on inside the finishWriting call that might cause this issue? or maybe someone knows some novel ways of debugging this issue?</p> <p>Thanks</p>

    1. COsetting m_audioAndVideoWriter.shouldOptimizeForNetworkUse to NO seem to stop the error occurring. However we need this set to yes as the video ends up on a server where it is streamed.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
