The VideoLAN Forums

I've got some mov files that crash 2.0.8 on both Win7-64 and XP-32.

They used to play without issues on some previous version of VLC.

Do I have to add additional codecs?

How can I debug this, I can't even view the exact format as VLC immediately crashes?

The files are too large to upload.

BTW - it asked me if I wanted to report the crash, but seemed to bring up Microsoft's crash report dialog

Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback, and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin.com if it's too long.

Also upload a short sample of a problematic file to either http://streams.videolan.org/upload/ or to EmbedUpload.com, the latter will upload the file for you to several other hosts and then post the link to the file here.

If needed cut it with DGsplit and read here about how to do it:

50 MB max should be enough.


You can also give a try to VLC 2.1.0-rc2.

I set Verbosity to 2, dragged a problem MOV into VLC, and it simply disappeared this time. Didn't even get the message asking if I wanted to report this.

I looked in the Application Data/VLC and can see a crashdump was created of 0 bytes.

Sounds a bit like an un-handled exception?

Is there some other error log that I'm missing?

And where is the sample file, as requested ?

Sorry to take so long.

Ran the beta on a VMware box and it played the codec: MPEG-4 video (mp4v) without problems.

Thanks!
