Thank you, sir! That gave me some confidence to give this a go again. I did everything you mentioned, although I DID uncheck the ‘entries’ and ‘global tags’. I am NOT able to set the aspect ratio—that area is grayed out unless I am missing something that enables changing of the settings in that area.

UPDATE: I was able to do this on a lowly Dell Optiplex 790 (Core i3/4GB) at work, so what gives with my Kaby Lake Gen 8/8GB Dell 9360 is beyond me - EXCEPT, I wonder if the failure was the result of my using an external HDD on that occasion - so data is going back and forth from the motherboard to the external drive (accessing the source file on the HDD and then placing a copy on the same external HDD). In the case of the older Optiplex, everything was done in the box/on the same HDD. These are all computer-rookie-level assumptions. Another thought was that this is better performed on HDD rather than SSD given the large data amounts moving around.

Anyway, thanks, Chainsaw, and some progress for sure. I will have a go at doing this within the 9360 itself, but that will require making space for the destination file (hence my using an external drive in this case).

Sorry, long reply, but it might be of use to someone experiencing similar problems.
