I said quite clearly in my post above that I plan to transfer the frame in shared memory.

I am still not sure what the problem with MeGUI is. I can run multiple instances of vdub GPU AVS scripts. What is so special with MeGUI?
Again, as I said above, it is a managed application, and for some reason that I have not yet discovered, managed applications crash on the second D3D instantiation.

I'm experiencing a bug. X264 hangs at 99.9% with VirtualDubMod and ASXGui 1.9.4. I'm not sure why it's not closing? The two programs use different builds of X264 and it's happening in both XP and Vista.

Does it happen also when running x264 via CLI? Any other filter in addition to DGAVCDecNV in your Avisynth script?

BTW: x264 + VDubMod means you use x264 VfW, which probably is not the best idea...

I just use the Nvidia Pure Deinterlace option:

loadplugin("Z:\dgavcdecnv102\DGAVCDecodeNV.dll")
avcsource("__vid__", deinterlace=true)

VFW for virtualdub is correct, but ASXGui 1.9.4 uses CLI. I'll use a different CLI of X264 with it and see what happens. I just thought it was weird that it hangs with both programs in two different operating systems. I'm sure the problem is on my end because no one else seems to be experiencing it.

With CLI it hangs at 81.9% of the encode job. Something's not right with my system.

I tried one more time with CLI and it hung at 99.9%. If I use a directshow source it doesn't hang. It only hangs if I use DGAVCDecodeNV. I've tested it with 3 different versions of X264. I'll keep messing with it.

Can you cut the end of the stream where it hangs and post a link to it?

Also, try it with DGAVCDec (not NV) and let me know what happens.

I'll get back to you in a few minutes on DGAVCDec.

All went well with DGAVCDec. Except of course the nasty PAFF blocks.

This isn't looking good for me. It behaves exactly the same in XP, Vista 32 and Vista 64. It will get to around 99% and not close. It's more than likely something about my system:

Q6600
Gigabyte p35-ds3r
EVGA 9800gt 512mb
4gb ram
1.5tb raid 0 array.

It's done this from day one, but I assumed it was virtualdub. I'd never tried to do a complete encoding with another program until the other day. That's when I realized it wasn't virtualdub.

The memory and video card are brand new so I suppose I should run a memory check. It's not overclocked either.

Does it happen with all streams?

Yes it does. I'm using the Cuda Driver and Cuda SDK. I've tried avisynth 2.57 and the beta.

My memory test is at 50% with no errors and I'm suspecting my GPU. I can transplant the GPU into another PC and install the necessary software, but you'd have to send me a new key for it or a test version with expiration.

GPU: EVGA 512-P3-N975-AR 9800GT 512M

I can also do a bare install of XP with the necessary software to test the decoder in case it's something I have installed in all three OS that's causing the problem.

It seems to be working fine for me. I never installed the cuda sdk though. Maybe your x264 switches aren't correct since they changed some of the options a couple of days ago.

It still hangs even with a clean minimal install. The only codec I installed was YV 12.

@ReferenceDivx I've tested several builds and the results are the same. I don't have the sdk or the toolkit installed this time. Just the Cuda Driver. I'm going to put the card in a different machine and see if it still hangs. I hate to ask DG for another key.

When using invalid options x264 will simply complain and abort right at the beginning.
But it certainly doesn't start to encode and then decides to stall at 99.9%

BTW, I've tried to use different compressors like XVID and the encoder will still hang at the end.

What if you open the AVS script in VirtualDub and seek all the way to the end?
