MKVextract and other demuxers

[moonscar]

They corrupt the video files, I don't know why, I get about 30 seconds in, or jump anywhere in the DVD file, It just corrupts, and the player crashes, along with explorer.exe. . . . ..

I've used MKVextractGUI, the MKVExtract Wizard, and Virtualdubmod. So, any idea's ladies?

mkvextract works fine here. What exactly are you extracting and why?

[moonscar]

I am demuxing anime, Wolf's Rain to be exact, and when I used these programs, the files are corrupted. drwatson postmortem debugger crashes. I have tried to uninstall it, but ot no avail. Then when I play the files that crashes, followed shortly after by TMCP.

I meant what streams? So say an XviD VfW to an avi or a native AVC to a raw .264 stream, etc.

Generally media files crashing explorer is caused by MS's buggy thumbnail shell extension (shmedia.dll).

[moonscar]

Yeah, it is an Xvid video thati s corrupted. The audio and subs are fine (I think, so should I just get rid of that .dll file? Or what?

[celtic_druid]

Just because ot causes explorer to crash doesn't mean it is corrupt. The number of people who experience crashes because of MS' thumbnail shell extension.

You don't need to get rid of the dll. Try "regsvr32.exe /u shmedia.dll". If it doesn't help "regsvr32.exe shmedia.dll" to set things back.

You might also want to update your XviD build.
