FAVC and Windows 7 x64

[CaptainFabulous]

Anyone else have problems getting it to work?

Have you tried the 64-bit version available from the author's homepage?

Unfortunately, though, FAVC hasn't been updated in quite a while, so I'm not sure if there are any other issues lurking in regard to Win7. You might try other programs like DVD Flick and AVStoDVD, in the meantime.

Yeah, both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions crash. But I figured it out. The favc.exe file needs to have the .NET 32-bit flag turned on.

The error I was getting is:

"An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070000B)."

There is a utility in the .NET 2.0 SDK (free d/l from MS) called CorFlags that will set the flag. The command is:

corflags.exe favc.exe /32bit+

Apparently if you want to run 32-bit .NET programs in a 64-bit environment the 32-bit flag needs to be set. I have no idea why it runs fine in Vista x64. Perhaps Vista doesn't use a 64-bit version of .NET whereas Win7 does?

One other thing I noticed is that the 64-bit version of FAVC runs in a 32-bit OS, which means the program itself isn't 64-bit. I assume then it's some of the included modules that are 64-bit.

With the flag set the program runs without a hitch.

Hi Just wondering does that change things on the computer itself? Performance wise, and is there some sort of thing where I have to change it back after I finish using the program?

Guess I'm worried about changing things where I'm not supposed to. Any help would be appreciated.

AVI2ISO 64 bit has exactly the same problem. The error is caused trying to access MediaInfo library when loading movies

download the 64 bit version in here :


http://downloads.sourceforge.net/med...utInstaller.7z


then just change the MediaInfo.DLL that is in FAVC folder with that one

You must use FAVC 64 bit version

hope this helps

It doesn't affect anything adversely. You're simply setting a flag on a program to say that's it's a 32-bit application being used in a 64-bit environment. It's one of those things as a programmer you don't think about doing cause it's usually unnecessary. It's just an oversight on the author's part.

And no, you don't have to change it back. Just set the flag and go on like nothing happened.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.
