No fix has been found, only a workaround that makes use of the Render Farm:<br>

<br>
Lately the user fary54 has made available his script to automate the<br>
use of the render farm and external ffmpeg. Above all it is suitable<br>
for CPUs with many threads. You can find the script and explanations<br>
