I've posted this issue about month ago in DivX encoding section, but it seems that nobody has take much notice of that.
There's a compatibility issue when DivX6 encoder is used from VirtualDub or VirtualDubMod. Short description (so you can tryout by yourself):
1.From VirtualDub select DivX 6.1.1 Codec (=latest version) for compression.
2.Configure the Codec by selecting Video tab.
3.Enter 32 for crop left and 32 for crop right (other settings doesn't matter).
4.If VirtualDub didn't crash till now, confirm with OK.
5.If VirtualDub didn't crash till now, try to convert your source file.
6.VirtualDub should crash till now, showing some kernel32 error message.
This, of course, doesn't happen when DivX5 codec is used, so it could be DivX6 bug...
Now exit Configure codec in Virtual dub (but you may keep VirtualDub open):
1.Open the registry [HKEY_CURRENT_USER] and find:
Software/DivXNetworks/DivX4Windows/State
2.For above Codec you'll see here the entry:
06_01_01_01031_Tiger_WinCodecArtwork
containing last valid CLI values like:
-bvn1 1000000 -vbv 4854000,3145728,2359296 -c 8,16,40,40 -dir "C:\Program Files...
3.In this example, values "-c 8,16" define crop area (8=left, 16=right).
4.Now you manually change only those values to:
-c 32,32 (leave all other values unchanged)
Now again, in VirtualDub open menu Video>Compression... and try to select DivX 6.1.1 Codec -VirtualDub can't find it anymore! If you restore values in registry, VirtualDub will find DivX6 codec again.
Couple days ago I've reinstalled WinXP (and all needed codecs, of course) and the problem is still here -actually now Vdub crashes even if left and right crop is set to 24.
Could be the reason, because I have both (DrDivX106 and DivX611) installed? -of course, after DivX611 installation, DivX5 can't be used (selected) in Vdub anymore.
Any help would be welcome,
Bogdan
