Koepi XviD-1.1.-127-06112004.exe calc button bug

[Poutnik]

Your alpha XviD-1.1.-127-06112004.exe causing 100% repeatable
config windows crash in my Win98SE( see sig for more )

This bug seems does not occur for all, still just at me.

It always occurs when I press calc button
Note that I have just uninstalled 1.0.3 ver, installed
1.1 one, load defaults and make some changes

There was no demand for restart by install, neither
some un/installing failer ( blocking file or so )
Maybe I will try to restart befor use settings window of 1.1

Doesn't crash here, can't reproduce due to the lack of a DOS extender as OS :( Or might it be an issue with old celerons?

Others does not confirm that bug, not knowing obout their OSs.
My Coppermine Celeron should support MMX, ISSE (MMXSSE), SSE.
I will try to force XviD to set those manual, or even unselect some of them.....
Lack of DOS extenders can stand for lack of my CX2388x based card support. :D. And I am far worse in Linux than DOSX. :(

xvid.cvs.head.2004.12.20.7z does the same bug as koepis 1.1 one.
Note that all previous Koepis builds since 1.0 betas work fine.

There must be sth strange in my old pure Celeron powered W98 :confused:

Bug confirmed under Win98SE and tracked.

The problem lies on line 944 of the file /vfw/src/config.c
The following call:
SetDlgItemInt(hDlg, IDC_BITRATE_ASIZE, audio_size, TRUE);
makes the GUI crash. Commenting out this line and recompiling the VfW frontend fixes the calculator. Apparently the problem has been there since July.

It may be a bug related with the comctl32 system library, so I'd like someone with a non-crashing 1.1 build to tell me 2 things:

1) to open the calc and see if the audio "size (kbytes)" dialog works and what value it displays when you open the calculator window. It should be disabled by default, too (maybe this is the problem).
2) the version number and date of the comctl32.dll library in your system directory. Mine is version 5.81, dated back 2001, and it bears the string "Microsoft(R) Windows(R) 2000 Operating System" so maybe someone with Win2k installed can check if the problem is OS-related or not.

Thank you for your help. Right now I'm trying to find a fix or a workaround.

By disabled I assume you mean the calculator uses average bitrate by default over size? Then, yes.

My version is 8/04/2004. I'm running XP and I have no problems whatsoever with using the calculator, so maybe it is a problem with 98SE.

Maybe the problem is in the outdated comctl32.dll...
Many "old" installers just overwrite it without asking.
Try updating the library and see if it helps.

Bug apparently solved. It's just a one liner, though a bit difficult to catch. I'll have a talk with sysKin to have it added to the CVS. Thanks for the heads up, Poutnik.

You are welcome. I always feel myself proud to help debug/improve
software I like. :)
