VirtualDubMod - Livelock issues...

[HeroicMonkey]

Dub: I/O thread has not cycled for ten seconds -- possible livelock...

I get this warning every now and then when extracting audio from AVS scripts. Since I use vdubmod in an automated flow this means I have to go in manbually and click the OK button every now and then. Normally it goes to 100% anyway and when it doesn't I can simply redo the process and it all of a sudden works.

Anyone know if it is possible to have vdubmod run without displaying these annoying text boxes? I am running all from a .vcf via a command line.

...if not, would it be hard to modify the code to skip these myself?

you could use avs2wav if all you need is to get a wav out of an avs.

much lighter weight than VDM, and it's native CLI of course, so no popups to cancel.

Thanks for your reply, Mug Funky. Unfortunetely I have unsuccessfully tried AVS2WAV. I can not recall what the issue was but I remembered that vdubmod could handle the problematic files that AVS2WAV could not.

The livelock message cannot be disabled. If you want to hack the source to disable it yourself, start with dub.cpp and dubprocess.cpp.

I have found that setting 'processing thread priority' to 'normal' makes the livelock issues go away.
