Starting to test Comskip with h.264 support

[erik]

Then I hope its a small difference in memory management in Vista that is triggering the bug.
Will try to get a vista system soon

[erik]

Are you running 32 or 64 bit vista?

x86 - you can dl a 30 eval vm from ms - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Hey Erik,

I am on windows home server with the crashes. WHS does have some vista archtecture so you might be on to something.

I'm running Vista Home Basic and getting these same crashes on h.264 files from my HD PVR. While testing out 80_019 via comskipGUI on a problematic .ts file, I got the following crash information 41% of the way through processing the file:

I'm on XP and am getting fairly consistent crashes on my hd-pvr files using the latest comskip.

I am on XP, single core CPU and I have not had any crashes for the last half dozen or so releases.

I'm on Vista .64 and am gettnig frquest crashes on HDPVR recordings. Recording from the HDHR and Hauppauge analog tuners seem to be fine.

Do you have a not too long recording that always crashes and upload it to my ftp server?

Same here. Other than needing to tweak the settings for h.264 detection a little better I've seen no error messages. Every once in a while I'll find a user dump in the windows debug folder but it doesn't seem to have a pattern.

I've been running every version on my WHS server without issues....and on my Vista x64 client machine. Both are quad Core Core2 machines. One is Q9300 and the other is Q9450.

I'm using XP and ALL TS files crash right now (MPEG all are fine).

I'm reposting my post from the Comskip Support Forum thread discussing "Comskip crashes on HD PVR recordings":

-----------------
I'm on Vista Home Basic.

Does it matter that I have 3 different MS Visual C++ Redistributables in my Uninstall list? Should I ONLY have the 2005 one?

Currently I have the following three:

Microsoft Visual VC++ 2005 Redistributable - 2.37 MB
Microsoft Visual VC++ 2005 Redistributable - 422 KB
Microsoft Visual VC++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 9.0.21022 - 2.05 MB
------------------

For those which have comskip working on .TS files consistently, which MS VC++, and how many of them do you have installed?

[Taddeusz]

Mine has been working fine the whole time and the Add/Remove Programs on my server doesn't show I have any MS VC++ redist installed.

I have a recording that always crashes before getting to 1%. If I upload the first 100 megs or so you should be able to see(or not see) the issue, correct? If you pm me the ftp details I'll push it up.

[erik]

I tried on a newly setup Vista system.
I did NOT have to install ANY VC runtime so I suggest you remove it because Comskip works fine on a vista 32 bit system.

How about 32 versus 64 bit?
Are the people that see crashes on 64 bit processors, or even 64 bit OSses?

Mine still crashes and i'm on Vista x64 . . .

No crash on my test systems, its really terrible.
I used the default comskip.ini

Wierd. I tried running against the same test file on one of my client machines instead of the server and no crash. I'll do some checking and see if I can find a descrepancy. They should be almost identical.
