0.9.x crashes on exit

[qsharp]

hi, i've been using 0.8.6x for ages now and never encountered any problems. but about a week ago i checked videolan.org and noticed that 0.9.4 was out, so in downloaded and installed it, with uninstalling the old version of course - no probs yet. but the video sometimes freezes but the sound still continues to run. fast forward and rewind won't solve the problem. so i have to restart vlc which then results in a crash, which resets all my settings. that appeared very suspicious to me and i also tried 0.9.2 but same thing there. i wonder why noone else seems to have that problem.

Hi! my 0.9.4 crashes on exit after video capture mode. I have no problem with playing. But I can not save any captured file. I tryed some codecs, but sometime I have no video, sometime have nothing (empty file), sometime VLC crashes on capture begin.
0.8.6 works perfect.

[qsharp]

noone can come up with an explanation?

edit: now i'm using 0.9.6 and am still encountering the same problem except the crashing part. opening a standard *.avi file will cause the image to freeze after 7~8min.

You tried WMV/ASF+WMA2+MP3 as transcoding option?

[qsharp]

sorry, but where am i supposed to do that?

[VLC_help]

Sorry, that was meant for Ivus.

For you, could you open Tools -> Messages... (set Verbosity to 2) and then start playback and when issues come up, paste errors/warnings here?

This is what happens as soon as the image freezes:

main error: decoder is leaking pictures, resetting the heap
main error: decoder is lmain error: decoder is leaking pictures, resetting the heap

first line keeps prompting indefinitely and the second one appears every 200-300 lines.

[VLC_help]

This happens with all the files you play or with specific ones?

[qsharp]

I usually play DiVX/XviD files of 350mb or bigger and it tends to stop randomly after 4-7 minutes. Small videos of about 5min don't cause any problems. Weird thing is that 0.8.6x had no problems with playback regardless of the codec. Windows Media Player works fine, too.

[VLC_help]

There were huge libavcodec related changes between 0.8.6 -> 0.9.x, that is why certain people have problem with video files (specially DivX and Xvid).

[qsharp]

Well, does that mean that you cannot come up with a solution to it yet? WMP uses the same codecs, why doesn't it freeze?

[VLC_help]

VLC uses build-in codecs. I can't use DirectShow or VfW codecs (so VLC and WMP use different decoders). Issue is VLC only.
