VirtualDub(Mod) keeps crashing and you can't figure out why? Read this!
This is not a request for help but some information I would like to share with the community.
Lately I have been having serious trouble backing up DVDs to DivX / XviD movies. Anytime VirtualDub or VirtualDubMod would start encoding a video (even just for a compressibility test), it would crash. No matter whether I used AutoGK, Gordian Knot, VirtualDub or VirtualDubMod, uninstalled and reinstalled the programs, removed all codecs, installed new codecs, old codecs, indivually, as a pack, encode with DivX and even DivX ;-) 3.11, encode with XviD, encode with x264, turn the AVIFile proxy on or off... nothing I tried would work! Windows would give one the following error messages: Code:
"VirtualDubMod has encountered an error and needs to close". "Instruction at "XXXXXXXXX" has referred to memory at "XXXXXXXXX". Memory can't be "read". Press "OK" to close VirtualDubMod" Code:
"frames.log cannot be found" "(...).stats file is in use" Despite searching every video help forum I could find and following all kinds of suggestions, nothing would help. Sounds familiar? I stumbled by chance on the solution, which I haven't found posted anywhere: The culprit may be Microsoft Visual C++! I found that I had both Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 and Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 installed. Once I uninstalled the 2005 version - bingo, everything worked again! I believe that I ended up with two versions of Visual C++ after I installed the (ubiquitous) ffdshow codec. Hope this may help some other desperate souls. |
