The VideoLAN Forums

I get a Windows error with title 'Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library error' and video stops, everytime I go through a specific part of a movie. The log of vlc in time of error:
direct3d debug: Created 1014x64 texture for OSD
main error: ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late (pts_delay increased to 300 ms)
main error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called
mkv warning: Cannot read frame (too long or no frame)
avcodec warning: cannot decode one frame (154 bytes)

The codec of the video is H264 - MPEG-4 AVC.

Can you share the file, please?

Use either http://streams.videolan.org/upload/ or EmbedUpload.com, so it will upload the file for you to several other hosts, and then post the link to the file here.

I have the weird video, but no crash.

No crash here either but the video got corrupted around 0:19. You should try to extract all of the streams with MKVToolnix and then remux the raw streams to a new file.

I am getting this message now every time i try to select a secondary or tertiary audio stream, surround sound ac3 5.1 audio - the triggering event is the selection of 5.1 in the audio device menu branch. it happens regardless of file. all my files are dvd rips transcoded to M4V files using handbrake, variable bit rate video x264 - only recently has this phenomena been occurring - will test on my other boxes

current VLC version is VLC media player 2.1.0-git-20120819-0402 Rincewind. not sure what version of the C++ runtime library is being used - its a Win7 ultimate box using a an HDMI video out to onkyo av receiver and panasonic plasma monitor - sys info and event error log entry follow
