Problem: VirtualDubMod can't open .avi-output from xvid_encraw if B-frames are used.

Anybody heard of this problem?

I tried a patched version of Kopernikus AND an older version that's unpatched..?

I have no problems to open an avi from encraw with b-frames. Did it last week. :)

I can open them with MediaPlayerClassic for example. But not with VDM (well: opening them is ok, even multiplexing; but output doesn't work while playing (or jumping in) video). :confused:

VirtualDubMod (1.5.10.2 build 2542) says: "Error decompressing video frame 0: An unknown error occurred (may be corrupt data). (error code -100)"

I just checked VirtualDub and VirtualDub-MPEG2 with a very similar result (reported crash: division by zero error).

Sample commandline that produces VDM-incompatible AVI with xvid_encraw (same settings coded via VDM->XviD1.1 works fine!):

D:\>"D:\xvid_encraw.exe" -i "D:\VOB_Number_01_trim.avs" -avi "D:\VOB_Number_01_trim out_cq 4.avi" -nochromame -cq 4 -bquant_ratio 100 -progress 10

@Eruendil: Can you provide a sample thats crashing?
@JoeBG: Can you provide a sample that is not crashing?

maybe it's a vfw decoder thing...
did you activate mp4v in ffdshow's vfw decoder settings?

I tried and tried and couldn't figure out what it was.

Anyway, "format c:" solves most problems of Windows (except the basic issue that it IS Windows ;) )...

Now VDM does what it's supposed to. Thanx for all help! :)
