Hi

Thanks for your work.

I hope this report helps?

1. Open VLC.
2. 'File'>'Open Capture Device...'.
3. Tick 'Video' and 'Audio'.
4. Ensure 'ADVC-100' is selected.
5. 'Open'.

Result: qtcapture appears and then VLC crashes.

Note: It also happens in 2.1.1.

Using VLC 2.2.0 Nightly Build (x86_64-20131128-0118) - Mac 10.8.5.

Thanks!

I don't think I can make attachments, so here is the top and then the crashed thread. Sorry, I'm not a developer, so I don't know exactly what will be useful .

The device doesn't seem to be working properly now, so I may not be able to test anymore. Will try again and say if there's any change.

There was no crash on Windows XP SP3, but it gave a message about being unable (can't remember exactly what).

The crash occurred on Mac 10.7.5 too. I couldn't test the nightly, so here's some details from the stable 2.1.1 version:

Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)

Yeah, copying the frames does not work...

Hi Jean-Baptiste

What does work then?

I believe my device is broken, so I'm unlikely to reproduce anymore. If you aren't able to do anything, that's fine.

Thanks
