VirtualDubMod and Symantec Corporate AntiVirus 10.0.0.359 problem

[vladlp]

Just install Symantec Corporate AntiVirus 10.0.0.359
and when I start CompCheck in GK if file "c:\Program Files\GordianKnot\_.avi" already exists then VirtualDubMod 1.5.10.1 generate error:

FastWriteStream: couldn't open "C:\PROGRA~1\GORDIA~1\_.avi": The operation completed successfully..

I have also check start script generated by GK for CompCheck with VirtualDub 1.6.4 and received completly the same error

If I manualy delete the file _.avi - everesyng is ok, but just for one time - then I have to delete it every time before start CompCheck
If I disable autoprotect - then everesing work fine.
Already try to put whole directory with GK to ignore folder - does not help

What it can be

[srotman]

I can confirm this problem. I've tried to encode a video twice now with the same error, that "the file already exists" or something like that (sorry i didn't write down the exact error) and it happens at some point during the first pass of encoding. I wasn't sure what was causing it, but now that I think of it, I too JUST installed Symantec Antivirus Corporate 10, so I'm sure it's no coincidence.

as its an iteroperability bug report

Yes, because if real time scanner is swich off then everesyng works perfect. Also i have test it on few PC's with xp sp2 and Symantec 10 - on all of them the same problem.

PS: Probably today i will have time, then I try to compile VirtualDubMod in debug mode and trace till error occurs.

Ok... just find the solution:
in the file FastWriteStream.c function FastWriteStream::open look so

bool FastWriteStream::open(const wchar_t *pFilename, DWORD flags) {
if (GetVersion() & 0x80000000) {
hFile = CreateFileA(VDFastTextWToA(pFilename), GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_WRITE, NULL, OPEN_ALWAYS, flags, NULL);
DWORD err = GetLastError();
VDFastTextFree();
SetLastError(err);
} else {
hFile = CreateFileW(pFilename, GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_WRITE, NULL, OPEN_ALWAYS, flags, NULL);
}

return hFile != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE;
}

but I think monitor from symantec required read access, so if change

hFile = CreateFileW(pFilename, GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_WRITE, NULL, OPEN_ALWAYS, flags, NULL);

to

hFile = CreateFileW(pFilename, GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_WRITE | FILE_SHARE_READ , NULL, OPEN_ALWAYS, flags, NULL);

it solve the problem.

unfortunately i dont understand the whole re-coding process as my programming is limited. so i just downgraded from symantec 10 to 9. so do i have to wait for a new version of autogk or virtualdubmod based on your findings?

Moved to VDubMod forum.

P.S. Although as vdubmod is not being developed atm - its unlikely that there will be any fixed releases.

[vladlp]

I have just recompile VirtualDubMod with fix above.
Just replace VirtualDubMod.exe with this one:
_http://rapidshare.de/files/1607894/VirtualDubMod.zip.html
(As I have now other hosting I put it on rapidshare.de. To download just select free at the bottom of the page wait for ... seconds and press the link to download)

now it have to work.

In case of problem report it here...

PS: The size of exe file is mach bigger, it's because I have not ups to pack it.

[theantipop]

You are awesome man! Oh the beauties of OSS. Worked wonderfully for me.

[metapy]

I too am also using Norton Corporate Edition and ran into this problem. The difference is I had it completely disabled, no realtime scanning, no service loaded when I ran into this problem. The fixed EXE cured things, but I think a more permanent fix needs to be implemented into AGK

[ptaker]

Does anyone have a definite answer to the problem of the Fast Write stream couldn't open file X because it is being used by another process. Nothing else was running except the AutoGK and Symantec.
------------------------------------------------------------------
I have tried to convert a DVD to avi using the latest autoGK 2.27. I did replace VirtualDubMod.exe with this one:
_http://rapidshare.de/files/1607894/VirtualDubMod.zip.html as suggested to get rid of the "Fast write couldn't open file" problem. Result: The autoGK passed the first of two passes without a problem. Then on the second pass, it bombed with the same error message everyone else is complaining about. I do have Corporate Symantec version 10.0.1.1000. I did not disable Symantec when running the AutoGK program.

I have made the autogk log available to you at www.artray.com/autogk if you need to look at it.

Help me here please. I am new at this program. It goes without saying this but is not good for a new inexperienced user.

Thanks too!

[gardar]

can anyone please repost the fix? The download link at rapidshare has expired...

[teqnilogik]

I have reposted the fix here:

http://www.teqnilogik.com/files/vdub..._fixed_exe.zip

Also, it appears this bug may have been fixed in VirtualDub according to this link:

http://www.virtualdub.org/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=51

[abbadon]

I've reformatted and need the fixed vdub, both links are broken. Can some one repost somewhere?

[foxyshadis]

It should be fixed in the latest virtualdub. Try downloading that and report back (or report to phaeron over there) if it still doesn't work.

(Second link works for me, btw. Might've been a temporary thing.)

[abbadon]

Hmm can't download the fixed vdubmod.exe from either
http://rapidshare.de/files/1607894/V...ubMod.zip.html
or
http://www.teqnilogik.com/files/vdub..._fixed_exe.zip

VirtualDub may have fixed the problem, but seeing how AutoGK uses VirtualDubMod it doesn't help.

[leecole]

I'm with others that have posted. I use AutoGK which uses VirtualDubMod, so the fact that it is fixed in VirtualDub doesn't do it for me. Both links fail!!!!

foxyshadis is correct above.

According to the changelog at free-codecs.com, the fix was incorporated into VirtualdubMod version 1.5.10.2 back in August of 2005.

I have VirtualDubMod 1.5.10,2 installed and I can assure you that it does not fix the problem.

I am having the same issue also and I am not running Symantec Corp AV 10. I am running AVG Free.
