huffyuv is crashing my PC

[drewzor]

Along with others video formats..
Whats going on? al of a sudden this dialog box appears when ever i open a folder with video files inside. What makes this terrible is if you close this box everything crashes!


Hope this is something simple?

install any new or updates for video software recently? probably a conflict with more than one thread trying to gain control.

A 2.8Ghz Celeron should easily handle huffyuv. What else is going on? The CPU has to compress during capture. Stop game playing while the CPU is busy. Secondary issues: available memory and HDD space.

yeah i installed a few new tools from free codecs site. motionhuffy codec vp3 to 7 and msmpeg4.

tools: aud-x VH screencapture codec and pinical mpeg2 because i'm having alot of trouble dealing with mpeg2 files.. audio sync and the usual

may take a fews tries but disable/uninstall stuff until you find the problem. happened to me with divx 7.x not too long ago. would crash explorer.exe by just hovering over an avi file with the mouse. stopped crashing when i set the divx option to display the logo off. lousy programming, POS.

yeah thats what i'm doing, uninstalling all codecs and tools and see if it will behave

It was a registry error,
LM\software\microsoft\windowsNT\currentversion\dri vers32\

Vidc.hfyu was set to huffyuv.dll I changed it to default msyuv.dll
And it lives again!!!

As soon as i install huffyuv is starts again.. thats sad cos up until now it has been sooo handy to have

SHeez this is embarrassing, i was just in vdubmod and was looking at the settings for huffyuv and it turns out that somehow the debug mode was checked... hence the dailog box...
what can i say? sorry guys
