I have installer 5 minutes ago laster VLC 0.9.4 for windows..... on my PC with Windows XP pro sp3 and on my notebook with a Windows XP home Sp3....... when i close the programs some time i obtain this error with same adrees memory in all two pc.

It's possible to resolve ?? This error show only some time when i close the VLC.

Error addresses very seldom give any useful information about the crash. If there is some way, that you can use to always crash the VLC, and you can tell that to us, it might help.

How i can found some information ?

I have try to use gdb to start vlc.exe... from a dos prompt:
- gdb vlc.exe
- Run

But the programs don't started.... exist a debug mode to launch vlc ?

You installed cygwin environment, compiled or downloaded VLC which has debug symbols and then tried?

Backtracing ain't trivial or easy with VLC under Win32.

Ok if i can help you to fix this problems i download the Cgywin setup from here:
http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe

But now you can help me with a guide how i can use this dll with VLC ?? a guide pass-to-pass...........

For Example... during the installation:
Default Text File Type -> I choose the "Unix / Binary" or "Dos / Text" ?

Unix should be better choice.

Aspect... but with this guide i can rebuild a version from sources on my PC ?? And this operation can help me for resolve the problems with memory read error after close the programs ?

Ok but at this point i need to rebuild the sources on my pc and on notebook

No need to build by yourself. Just download debug builds and use those.

Ahhhhhhhh......... now i'm in downloading this:

http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win ... -debug.zip

After how i can do for post some information about this problems ??

For now i can use this version in all two my pc ? Wha't this ?? It's a 1.0.0 prerelease ?

That version might have some other bugs and because it has some debug stuff enabled, it is slower than normal builds. You should first test on one machine if you can repeat the bug with using that nightly build. And if you can repeat, then do backtraces.

Ok.. now i can use this newest version but how i can do backtrace if i have same problems with this version ?

as stated in there, run VLC inside gdb starting it from Cygwin shell. And once it crashes, type bt to gdb and it should print the trace,

Ok, i can try it.

For now i have try to install cgywin and i have select the componet suggested on wikipedia guide instruction.....tomorrow (because the download it's slowly) i can try to start a instance of videolan by shell of cgywin from gdb.

*EDIT*
Ah..... now i need to use the 1.0.0 prerelease for this of i need to use the 0.9.4 final ?

Newer, the better.
