Problem with Virtualdub (it crashes)

[ghozt]

I have encoded many files in virtualdub without any problems. But now virtualdub has started to crash. After a while the encoding just stops. The video rendering rate drops to 0 fps. When I exit the program after this has happened this error message is shown:

An out-of-bounds memory access (access violation) occurred in module 'xvidvfw'.

I have tried other video compressions and audio compressions and I have tried to re-download virtualdub.

Input file:
Codec: Xvid
Audio: 5.1 AC3
Size: 698mb
Picture size: 640 x 256

Out file:
Codec: Divx 5
Audio: MP3 128kbits/s 48000hz
Textsub video filter added

Thanks in advance!

If this is happening on one particular file, and always at the same place, you probably have a corrupt source.

Or a corrupt xvid codec.

Mayby my source is corrupt. Is there a way to fix it?

You can try DivFix but I doubt it will help.

If you can figure out where the bad frame is you can trim in VirtuaDub to avoid the bad section. Save in two parts.

I got another problem too...
When I try to open a mpeg file in vdub this error message pops-up:

"No video frames in MPEG file"

But the movie works great to watch in vlc or wmp...

[mats.hogberg]

mpeg - what? 1 or 2? For mpeg2, you need VirtualDubMod.

I have Downloaded virtualdubmod and tried to open the mpeg but then I get this error:

"MPEG Inport Filter: Pack synchronization error"

Do I need any plug-ins or something??

The File is mpeg-2

[mats.hogberg]

No plugin needed. Seems you mpg is somehow broken. Try a fast remultiplex with TMPGEnc

[ghozt]

You had right, my vdubmod was broken....

But how do I display the audio bar in vdubmod so I can change my audio compression??

Thanks for the help everyone!

But how do I display the audio bar in vdubmod so I can change my audio compression??

1) Streams -> Stream List
2) Right click on the stream you want select items from menu.

[mats.hogberg]

In VirtualDub (not mod) just change audio to "Full processing mode", set codec under "Compression..."
In mod, there's something under stream list I think.
