Ctrl-Alt-Delete while playing video crashes VLC on Windows

Postby gnosygnus » 17 May 2010 08:19

I'm on Windows SP3. If I press Ctrl-Alt-Delete during playback, VLC 1.1pre2/pre4 will crash silently, but immediately. 1.0.0 GoldenEye does not crash.

Crashing happens regardless of video type. I've tried playing several videos of different formats: flv, avi, mpeg, dvd. Audio files do not cause a crash.
When I reproduce this crash through vlcj, the Dr. Watson error cites libmemcpymmxext_plugin.dll.

Let me know if you need more information.

It also crashes as described on this Win2k (sp4) workstation. 1.0.0 GoldenEye is fine.

I have another Windows XP machine, but it was SP2. I can confirm that it doesn't crash there.

Maybe this is an SP3/SP4 issue? Can anyone confirm with Vista/7?

I also created the following ticket: http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/3653

Try to deactivate the video in preferences and do the same.

I tried the following
- deactivating video
- loaded video file
- music plays
- ctrl-alt-delete: music still plays
- activated video
- loaded video file
- video plays
- ctrl-alt-delete: video crashes

Also, I verified that this crashes on another SP3 machine.
Hope this helps

Ok, can you try the same with the dummy video output? (you shouldn't see anything)

Okay. I went through each of the Video Output options on vlc-1.1.0-rc-20100523-0202 (restarting before each load). It seems that only DirectX (DirectDraw) causes it it crash. All the others work.

Also, I tried DirectX on vlc-1.2.0-git-20100523-0002. It doesn't crash.

Hope this helps.
