SetMTMode Crash - video too long?

[rodgar]

Hi
I use Avisynth 2.58 MT and have the following problem:
My script works fine with almost every video I throw at it for opening and reencoding via VirtualDub. But for some reason it crashes if there are too many respectively too long videos.

In this Script I added approximately 3:15hour of video and it crashes. To trim it down doesn't change a bit. But if I don't load as many videos at first hand, it works fine. So separately every of this videos works but not together.

The Source is ffdshow-dv-video

Hope someone can help me
Thanks in advance

That works, thank you! :)
I can't use AVISource because VirtualDub gives me an error about a missing dvsd decoder (wonder what to install to fix that) but in mode5 DirectShowSource does the job as well.
But can you explain why... I mean if DirectShowSource wouldn't work with mode2, why does it work but only with fewer files?

Install the Cedocida DV codec.
I mean if DirectShowSource wouldn't work with mode2, why does it work but only with fewer files?
Mode 2 uses more memory and system resources as a separate filter instance is created for each thread.

Note also that you can load multiple files in a single call to AviSource:
AviSource("video.00.avi", "video.01.avi", ...)

That works perfect and on top of that it is faster than DirectShowSource. Thanks a lot!

Another little thing: I have the same problem with Lagarith and Huffyuv-Videos. I can't open them with AVISource although Lagarith is installed. Huffyuv is only provided via ffdshow like dv was. Think I have to download a separate Codec for VfW for both of them, right?

[Gavino]

Yes, AviSource uses VfW codecs.
But ffdshow also includes VfW versions of its codecs (eg Huffyuv), configured via a separate panel (confusingly labeled "fdshow video encoder configuration").

[rodgar]

But what do I have tot do to get those 3 Codecs work with VirtualDub? I have 2 PCs, one with Win XP, the other one with Win7. On XP only dv is now accepted thanks to cedocida but on Win7 nothing works (Lagarith, Huffyuv and dv).
In the ffdshow encoder settings I changed dv and Huffyuv to libavcodec. Doesnt change a bit. VirtualDub 64 always gives an AVI Import error and VirtualDub 32 says theres no decompressor.

What confuses me the most is that all of the videos can be opened in VirtualDub directly but not via Avisynth and AVISource.

[Gavino]

VirtualDub 64 always gives an AVI Import error
For VirtualDub 64, you need to install 64-bit ffdshow.

What confuses me the most is that all of the videos can be opened in VirtualDub directly but not via Avisynth and AVISource.
That is surprising.
Is this using the default input driver in VirtualDub (rather than the DirectShow input driver, for example)?

[rodgar]

For VirtualDub 64, you need to install 64-bit ffdshow.

I have both installed. VirtualDub 64 and ffdshow 64... I think in this case avisynth has to be 64-bit too, right? There was a good reason why I installed 32-bit avisnyth, but I can't remember. Anyway, this doesn't explain why cedocida isn't running either way (64-bit or 32-bit)

That is surprising.
Is this using the default input driver in VirtualDub (rather than the DirectShow input driver, for example)?

I don't know what you mean by "default input driver". Is there an option to select one in VirtualDub? I only throw the *.avi at it and it opens. No matter if VD64 or VD32.

Problem solved :)

Someone in a german forum gave me a link to a tool by koepi:
VIDC-Cleaner (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=72244)

I don't exactly know if this tool or simply CCleaner did the job, but after running both of them, now everything works perfect - in 64-bit and 32-bit.
