Can daemon tools cause crashes in virtualdub while using xvid codec?

[sera]

I've been using xvid (ver. 1.1), dscaler (4.1.15), and virtualdub (1.6.16) to capture and compress avis. It worked perfectly. When I installed daemon tools (a program for virtual cd, dvd-rom emulation), it showed me a warning that states:

SPTD setup V1.29 (C) 2004 Duplex Secure LTd.

This program will install SCSI PASS Through Direct (SPTD) layer on your computer.
Warning - SptD is not compatible with kernel debuggers (SoftIce, WinDBG, etc.)!

After installing daemon tools, virtualdub has been crashing when I convert a captured video using the xvid codec.

This is part of the error dialog box of virtualdub
An integer division by zero occurred in module 'xvidcore'...
...while decompressing video frame 1439 (VideoSource.cpp:1727)...
...while using input buffer at 03950000-03950da7 (VideoSource.cpp:1726)...
...while using output buffer at 01870000-01918c03 (VideoSource.cpp:1725)...
...while running thread "Processing" (thread.cpp:150).

I've uninstalled daemon tools, downloaded the newest version of xvid and used system restore but virtualdub still crashes.

I'm sure that daemon tools has been the only major program that I've installed before virtualdub started crashing.

Has anyone come across a similar problem? I appreciate any ideas in solving this problem.

The current version of SPTD is 1.37, when I went from 1.29 to 1.35 I noticed a few big bugfixes that led to a more stable system, so you might want to check out the newest daemon tools. Just to be on the safe side.

Nonetheless, this sounds like an xvid problem. You can try installing this debug xvid (http://celticdruid.no-ip.com/test/xvid_debug.7z), putting 0xffffffff in "other options"->common->outputdebugstring, and running DebugView (http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/DebugView.html) to see what gets out before the crash.

Can you give me instructions on how to proceed? I have downloaded the debug xvid and debugview. I'm sorry I'm not familiar with these programs.

Thanks foxyshadis.
