Modifying Huffyuv. Need VC++ Help

[Mark Fredrickson]

Huffyuv crashes when I try to capture blank portions of my 8mm home videos. I thought I would debug it to see where it is crashing and hopefully fix it. I'm not a VC++ developer (VB is my speciality) but do have Visual Studio loaded with VC++.

However I'm running into a problem that I hope someone can shed some light on. In the Huffyuv source there is a file called 'Huffyuv_a.asm' that has a Custom Build Setting with a command of 'ml /c /Zd /coff /nologo /Fo$(IntDir)\$(InputName).obj $(InputPath)'.

When I try to compile it, I get an error that 'ml' is not a recognized command. When I create a makefile for the project, I see that the output of 'ml' is the .obj file that is fed into nmake. So I'm guessing that 'ml' is either a batch file or custom program written by Ben that is not included in the source. If it's something else, I can't find it on MSDN.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would very much like to fix this bug as it's causing me a ton of grief trying to capture my home videos.

You can get the Huffyuv source at http://www.math.berkeley.edu/~benrg/huffyuv-source-2.1.1.zip

Thanks,

Mark.

you should probably ask for help in the developers secton of this forum. I'm sure somebody there will know.

The Frigginjerk is right, but occasionally someone wanders by. ML is MASM, since it is missing that means you do not have VC++ 6.0, but 5.0 or earlier. However you can get ml by downloading any service pack for Visual Studio 6.0

Here's the latest one Service Pack 5 (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/sp/vs6sp5/default.asp)

Either unzip it into another folder and move what you need, or use WinZip to extract the parts you need

You're right frigginjerk. I didn't see the Developer's forum way down at the bottom. I'm just so use to coming here.

Mpucoder, I have SP5 for VB but forgot to load it for VC++. When you mentioned MASM, I searched MSDN and saw that I also needed the Visual C++ 6.0 Processor Pack which I'm downloading and installing now. Looks like that should do the trick.

Thanks guys.
