Windows 7 - VDubMod hang

[dapeda]

On my Windows 7 ultimate 64bit machine, VDubMod seems to be somewhat parameter dependent. For about 50% of my MPEG-2-files (created from .wmv->.dvr->.mpg files by Womble MPEG VideoWizard), it reproducibly crashes during AutoGK's compression calculation step.

By changing parameters like target width, target size etc. I always can convince AGK to finish and produce an intact .avi file.

I never had this behaviour on any machine running 32-bit XP.

Any idea someone?

thx,

Set the Compability Mode for the VDM EXE to XP Compability and see if that helps.

Thanks - first it seemed as if it might work, but on the second file VDM crashed again.
the debug dump may be found here:

One more detail:

VDM always crashes in the compressability test run, practically disabling a 2-pass-encoding.

The same files can be re-encoded in one-pass-runs by setting the target quality, though.

Could it be an incompatibility between your codec version and AutoGK?

I suspected that first and deinstalled XVID, then re-installed AGK, so the codec version is the one included in AGK.

The cause should be found in the parameters AGK passes to VDM for the compressibility test run - those parameters obviously are not used for 1-pass-encoding.

I installed DivX 7 now.
It works w/o problems on the files that crash Xvid.

so directly or indirectly, Xvid is responsible. Again, its the version that comes packed with AGK.
