DVobSub 2.14 crashes

[Roger]

When I close WMP while playing video, it crashes and throws some exception ("Memory cannot be 'read'"). Green Arrow remains in systray until I point it with mouse. Tested on several W2k. When I stop the video before closing WMP, everything is fine.

same here, I told Gabest per e-mail about it, no concrete answer.
It crashes also the Windows Media 8 Encoder GUI (downloadble from the Doom9 download page if you want to verify)
I deleted VobSub 2.14 and installed 2.13 again and now everything is fine.

Yupp.

I can't no longer edit subs and save them while have the movie running. DVBS crashes then, and one HAS to log off or reboot in order to even start WMP afterwards.

It was soo easy fixing subtitles with v.2.09. It loaded the subtitle file dynamically....

As I posted here:

I get a memory leak with DirectVobSub:

Last time I checked, vobsub (used as a directshow filter for displaying subtitles) was ripping me from 100K to 200K of system memory each time a subtitle was displayed.
From my very quick tests I believe it's the Outline Font feature that's doing it.

Vobsub 2.13
P3@505
W2K
Integrated video

Roger: I'm sorry I have no idea why it is crashing on exit...

bobotns: wm encoder 8 is using a dummy renderer filter to capture the played pictures to be encoded into wmv. I've tried using it with and without dvobsub but every time it caused an assert failure on my system... Looking it closer, that dummy renderer is returning the media sample with a wrong reference count, one lower than it was delivert to him. All I can do is to add a check into dvobsub to disable autoloading when wme8 was launched.

duartix: That's normal, it is just caching the shape of the subtitles. Turn off prebufferer and play the same subtitle twice or more, you will see that the second time it displays much faster than the first.

@ gabest
Previous VobSub versions don't cause Windows Media 8 Encoder GUI neither Windows Media Player 6.4 to crash. This is a new bug introduced in version 2.14 of your software.
