After successfully rendering and encoding VR videos with Voukoder for a while, my attempts would instantly fail starting about a month ago. I didn't put any effort into solving the issue then, but I've looked at it again recently.
I realized that clearing the video side data fields allowed the video to render. Adding any video side data causes the render to immediately fail. Here is AME's log for a failed render attempt.
