Avisynth 2.5x crashes VDUB/VDUBMOD

[ZZT]

I have moved to 2.5 from 2.0 and now I have troubles with crashes.
Most software (VDUBMOD is mostly used one :-) ) crashes when I try to close .AVS file, or reload another file (which draws file to close).
This is very annoying. I've tried most VDUB releases for last 2 years and AVS 2.5.4, 2.5.4-150104-2, 2.5.5-200304.
Where the root of the problem is located? Maybe 2.5x is evil :-/ ?
What do I need to change in software configs or scripts to solve this problem?

Where the root of the problem is located? Maybe 2.5x is evil :-/ ?No. It works fine.

But perhaps you're using a filter which doesn't know how to do a proper deallocation of the memory. Could you post an avs script, and the version of the filters you used ?

Also, you might want to clean up your autoload plugin folder a bit; maybe an unstable plugin gets autoloaded that crashes on every unload of AviSynth?

(Try removing all plugins from your plugin dir and put them back one by one until the crashes resume; the plugin you added last should be the culprit. Also, make sure you've got the latest version of all plugins if possible - going by your Decomb thread there might be a few ancient plugins you've got rolling around... ;) This page (http://www.avisynth.org/warpenterprises/) might be a good starting point once the avisynth.org peeps restore it to an un0wnzed state...)

Right Idea!!!
..just checked plugin dir... and I found that little bug what terrorised me for nearly a month :-/
its name is "LoadPluginEx2.dll"... plugin autoload is dangerous, I see now :-/
With 2.0 of course there was no such problem :-)

Thanks alot

You should seperate legacy plugins and the LoadPluginEX2.dll into a folder outside of your plugins folder (ie - plugins\old). You can make an .avsi (a plain avs script that autoloads) that loads them for use in scripts and put that in your plugins folder. Remember that you will most likely need to use ConvertToYUY2 (or whatever colorspace they need) before calling them in a script.

exactly :-)

the same here and i have only undot, deen, asharp and decomb521 in avisynth plugins folder. :confused:

[stephanV]

does it still happen when you remove them then?

[jorel]

yes and using only a simple script like:
Mpeg2Source("F:\a.d2v")
Crop(8,0,704,480)
AddBorders(8,0,8,0)
..just the same with or without filters in script or in the filters folder! sometimes works,sometimes crash(more crashes than works)

jorel & You Know:

Please look if you have "avisynth_c.dll" in your Windows directories (for Win98 -- */system, for Win2k/WinXP -- */system32 ).

If so, remove or rename it, and reboot (!!) afterwards. Then check if the crashing still occurs.

It might as well be something completely other. However, I've also had big troubles, caused by some, erh, suboptimal versions of this DLL sitting in my /system32 folder!

The lastest version 0.15 (from 01.01.2004, or later) is definetly okay, and should be available from Avisynth.org. From all the versions of 2003, some were okay, some not.
A pity there's now version number to get from the file properties of these DLL ...

Perhaps it isn't related - but trying wont hurt ;)

yes, i have avisynth_c.dll 56Kb from 09-01-04 in Win98 C:\windows\system and using the avisynth2550 version.
i'm following your recomendations and will post the results later. thank you Didée! :)

Didée,
after rename the avisynth_c.dll to avisynth_c.dll1,remove all filters from avisynth plugins folder and reboot,after open the script in vdubmod15101--->tools--->script editor i got:
"virtualdub program failure- detail" and give me a big log file,some of the lines is wroten:
VirtualDub crash report -- build 2366 (release)
...
"bff7b992: 803e04 cmp byte ptr [esi], 04 <-- FAULT"
...
"Windows 4.10 (Windows 98 build 2222) [ A ]"

...:confused:
script used:
mpeg2source("F:\a.D2V")
Crop(8,0,704,480)

[jorel]

the same happen with the new avisynth June 17th, nothing is change!seamless problems with avisynth/vdubmod here: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?threadid=69857&perpage=20&pagenumber=4

[Didée]

Yep, if you have a version with a 2004' creation date, it should be okay to use anyways. And it seems the editor of newer VdubMod needs it desperately ;)
Since I never use that internal editor, I didn't know that ...

Should note that I do 99.9% of my editing work in good old VdubMod 1.4.13., still. That baby is so rocking stable ;)
