VirtualDub "Access Violation" Crash, Alternative Program?

[Ruro Jiruries]

Heya folks, I'm having some trouble with VirtualDub.

In fact, VirtualDub v1.5.3, v1.8.3 and VirtualDubMod v1.5.1. Usually they work like a charm for me, but I'm trying to open an Avi file encoded with Xvid, and I constantly get a Memory Access Violation error when I open the Video. I have a feeling there is no easy fix for this, and the DivxRepair program I came across in my travels presumably only works with DivX, and I think it relies on VirtualDub anyway to operate (Plugin as such).

Basically I'm asking, is there any other Freeware Video Editing tools out there? I'm only looking to split the AVI file a few times into different segments. If you folks otherwise believe it can be remedied (the VirtualDub crash error), then here's the Crash Log from VirtualDub v1.8.3. I seem to have an Xvid Version dating 11.06.03 (D/M/Y) according to GSpot. The Xvid Official Homepage does not provide a ChangeLog for me to ID how old my Codec is, I thought updating this could help. Found a download though, but no idea how to install it (Just zipped up Files & Folders, no clearcut information on where to place it).

Here's that Crash Log:

Thanks for any help you can offer!

EDIT: Found a solution of sorts, as I'm upping it to YouTube I'm dropping the Resolution to 640x480 using Super. It seems to be taking it fine, and recoding the Video as Mpeg II. THEN I can use VirtualDub on the new file, and Direct Stream Copy segments without losing further Video Quality loss. Just mixing it round a bit >_< I guess a solution is no longer necessary, as the Video that's giving me trouble was recorded with Snaggit, from now on I'll output with something else, DivX or something. Apparently one of the H.264 jobbies is the "leading" Compression codec now? Perhaps I should look into that...

Crash context:
An out-of-bounds memory access (access violation) occurred in module 'xvid'...

It's Xvid that's crashing, not VirtualDub. Try using a different Xvid decoder.

[Ruro Jiruries]

Hey, thanks for the replies Jagabo & Hech54, it turns out I mistrusted Super in one aspect: Good Quality results from the Resolution change. Gonna try Jagabo's suggestion first, as it sounds simple enough, will look into this tomorrow though, as it's been a long day for me ~_~ Wish me luck, heh, somehow I need to change the default Codecs... I'm sure there's an article on these matters in this site

Thanks again!

EDIT: You my friends, are the friggin' MASTERS! Did a bit of googling, found this in good time:
http://www.virtualdub.org/docs_codecs.html
Explains how to change the Default drivers, I have no idea how old "xvid.dll" is, the default marked up for use (presumably in C:/Windows/Drivers or where-ever they store Codecs now). Changing it to the LibAVCodec in my FDD Show folder has solved it though! Thanks again folks!

[Ruro Jiruries]

Rather then start a new thread, I thought it might be best to post in my existing thread, it sort of leads on from it anyway.

Okay, rather then just trying to terribly explain what's happening, I drew up a diagram of sorts, as pictures are worth a thousand words. If only Yamb would work, everything would be great, and I could finally get the best results for my Video's on YouTube.

I could indeed upload the SnagIt files straight off, but they are massive (since it's Hi-quality Video, AND uncompressed Audio). One could argue I could use VirtualDub with the files, compress the Audio to Mp3, and process the Video into a Lower Bitrate (x264 still) with Resize Filters applied, but the results aren't quite as good as MeGUI's Lanczos filter (much more crisp finish). Not to mention, the MeGUI results (once muxed into MKV), is smaller in file size then the VirtualDub AVI result.

Therefore, the question is: Is there any solutions for this Yamb issue (failing to output anything), or is there an alternative Multiplexing Program to mix Mp4/MKV and Ac3/Mp3 into a suitable container YouTube accepts? (AVI/FLV/MOV/MPG/MP4/WMV) Yes, MeGUI fails to support any of these with it's Muxing Tools :/

Thanks for your further help!

ooooh purty diagram

AC3 is not compatible in the .mp4 container.

Use AAC or MP3 in .mp4 container (not sure if YouTube accepts these)

YouTube also re-encodes everything beyond a certain bitrate (or at least used to), so you are probably wasting your time anyway. You can look at the 100+page thread on YouTube "quality" parameters here on Videohelp

Yeah, I couldn't highlight it, so I used Goldwave to Batch convert the AVI's audio into Mp3's. Using those, I got this problem of no output files. After some googling, it's a common problem (lot's of thread on some Doom9 site), a lot of them varied, only solution I saw out of them all was "Reduce filename length", which doesn't apply to me at all :/

lol, I was afraid of this. In that case... stick with my VirtualDub method I guess. Once I learn how to Batch Queue jobs with it, I can convert several clips no problem. Thanks

I think I read a fraction of that the other day, something about Hacks and playing with Hex code to fool YouTube into not re-encoding (I saw the 300 Trailor, brilliant quality!)

Thanks for your thoughts, I guess I am overkilling it really. At least the MeGUI method; outputting to MKV's and all is great for record keeping. Keep the Game Recordings on my machine in a well compressed, but hi-quality format - wish I had found x264 sooner! XD
