Error while exporting video

Hi!

First time poster here...

I made an analysis (Tracker-Zip @ https://www.dropbox.com/sh/jt814gp6mp4hc2h/AACuGhFOWyOGhgYW3ydtCmkMa?dl=0)
but when i try to export the Video with the lines and angles, in the end it throws an error:
"Could not encode video"
and a second error-Window
"Timebase not supported by mpeg 4 Standard thread"
See attachment

PC was Windows 8.1


I tested it on my Laptop as well (Win10) with the same problem.
The FPS is 29.6fps and straight from my phone... Should be a valid MPEG4 i think...

So... What can i do to export the video? What even is the problem, as 29.6fps is a valid fps for MPEG4, no?

also tried to save it to an USB-Stick in case of write-problems. Same.


Puzzled...


Edit:
Oh... The console throws this:

Edit:
weird... If i export only up to frame 35, all is OK... Only if i export up to 182, the error occurs...
up to frame 99: error
[unknown region]
up to frame 76: Success
up to frame 50: Success.



Edit: Hu? If i export to WMV, all works (except the quality of the video is shit after export... Blocky as hell...)
I added the WMV to the Dropbox link from above... Some idea on how to improve the video-quality?
