VP Beta 6.20 crashes on .avi export.

[deleted]

Can anybody testing 6.20 check this out please...

Loaded an MPEG4 and an identical Mpeg2 clip. Both1920 x 1080.
Both placed on the timeline with a small blank clip between them. The Timeline played correctly
Export video...Click Detect = (1920 x 1080 - You Tube 1080p).
File Format = .avi
Advanced Encoder Options = MPEG4 (Native)
Compression settings = Default quality
Create

Export queue window appeared and progress bar loaded to the end. Just before 100% the bar disappeared and there was no export message...

(It's a french version of Vista hence the Ne répond pas but this doesn't cause any problems)

Note that "Remove" has no "e" and that blue bar reads 0 of 1 Complete

VP has crashed in fact as clicking Close or X sends the whole screen white. ..........

VP tries to recover data and Bug report window appears behind it but can't be accessed without closing VP down entirely whereupon it is lost as desktop is returned. As the bug report window appears VP knows there was a crash and tried to get the data back.

The project Untitled .avi has in fact been exported and the work was Auto-saved. Can anyone verify this crash scenario?

Exporting the same project (from the saved .vpj file) as an mp4 this time proceeded normally...

Later....wmv export was OK, mov played but sound was crap, mpg export ok......Just .avi export that seems to crash.

In all cases the exports played normally.(apart from .mov in which sound kept breaking up.)

Nat,

Placed two 1920x1080 files on the time line, separated by a one-second blank file.

An MPEG4 (in an mp4 container) and an MPEG2.

The AVI output at the settings you listed completed with no issues.

Hi Borate

Well that is odd!!

AS a check, I completely uninstalled VP 6.20 and re-installed 6.10. I then repeated this test export with the same clips exactly as shown. It exported perfectly and played perfectly in vlc without any hangups/crashes and the export queue window was complete. So I saved a vpj file

Having checked this out, I completely uninstalled VP 6.10 and re-installed 6.20 using the exe file you linked me to that I had downloaded and saved.

I repeated the test, loading the mpeg4 clip and converted mpeg2 clip from the newly saved vpj file mentioned above.

I used exactly the same export settings and it CRASHED as before (shown above.) The .avi saved but the export queue screen remained incomplete and caused a crash when attempts were made to close it.

The only difference I can see is the version number.

Post a link to that project. Perhaps there is a difference between the files we used.

We still ironing out bugs in v6.20. Please use it for testing only.
