[resolved] AMD64 and XP SP2 = freeze

[Sirber]

Hi

Using AVISynth 2.5.5 and latest alpha, video jam at first frame. It does not play nor is seekable. Is anyone having the same problem?

CPU: AMD64 3000+
OS: XP (32bit) SP2

Thanks,

Stéphane

[edit]

This is for DShow mode only. With AVISource, works #1.

[edit]

Works #1 for playing (MPC), not encoding (producer) :(

What kind of stuff did you load with DSS? Or does it happen with everything?

[Sirber]

It happen with everything, like:

anime=DirectShowSource('c:\test.avi')
return anime

:confused:

[ObiKenobi]

What do you need the return statement for?

[stickboy]

To have the script return the clip.

The alternatives are:
anime=DirectShowSource('c:\test.avi')
anime
# There is implicit "return last" at the end of the script.or
DirectShowSource('c:\test.avi')(but Sirber probably has a reason for using a named variable)

Obviously, but since it does it by default it just seemed a bit pointless to me. That's all I was wondering.

[Sirber]

return or not, it's not the point :rolleyes:
The point is that avisynth does not work on my system :(

[Wilbert]

Hmmm, it works fine for me (but I don't have XP SP2). Does it play in Graphedit itself?

[Sirber]

no, and graphedit crash: DirectShow SDK Filter Graph Editor.

The filter chain seems ok.

The audio renderer has a black clock. When I remove it, the playing works in dshow mode.

anime=DirectShowSource("Y:\Anime\test.avi",audio=false) is playable :confused:

[Sirber]

got it!

it was ffdshow audio :devil: I removed it and everything works #1. :D

[Wilbert]

it was ffdshow audio
Could you elaborate? Did you remove ffdshow completely, disabled the audio decoding of ffdshow or something else?

Regardless, nice it's working again :)

[Sirber]

I disabled all decoding by ffdshow audio.

you could have tried disabling DEP for FFDshow as DEP has caused problems(such as with Half Life 2 i believe) with AMD64 cpus.

[Sirber]

I cannot disable it, and it's enabled on Windows binaries only by default, like explorer.exe.

well you can always completely disable it aswell. there are giudes on how to enable and disable it around.

[Sirber]

ok, but as long at it works... :) I don't think it's DEP related, sincee windows did not crash or told me it has closed a software.
