AVIDEMUX v2.5.6 will not start

[GrapeBu]

r8027 or later should fix Avidemux 2.6 failing to start on 32-bit Windows.

Worked for me.  Thank you.

I am also having this problem running XP SP3 32bit. 2.5.4 runs but nothing after, which is what brought me to this forum. I have an older system. Does the newer versions require SSE?

[Jan Gruuthuse]

Yes, and more likely SSE2 to.* There could be an issue to with

Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 Multiprocessor Free <> Windows XP Personal Service Pack 3 Uniprocessor Free

Some had/have 2.6 running on some of these computers?

Yes, and more likely SSE2 to.

My 32-bit builds are not meant to require SSE.  Do you have any further info on where the SSE instructions are being encountered?  Libraries like Qt detect the CPU at runtime and use an appropriate instruction set.

The only confirmed culprit I'm aware of is ZoneAlarm.

[Jan Gruuthuse]

No sorry. Have no longer windows XP and the CPU AMD Athlon XP-M Mobile 3000+, Barton, 32-bits, Socket A (462) is broken. Was under the impression that there was something with these old CPU and that was it?

[trgone]

I have no indication that SSE is an issue, I have had program problems in the past because I don't have SSE and was curious if this was the problem.

I do not have AVG, I am using Microsoft Essentials.

I have attached some info. If I can be of any help, please let me know.

I tried to attach a screenshot but received a server error.  It was just the standard microsoft error report

How do I reset the settings? I'm trying to install from a self-executable install file. After it supposedly installs, it will NOT start.

As I said, remove the %appdata%\avidemux folder. It contains all settings that AVIdemux uses.

If you want more info why AVIdemux doesn't start, use gdb and start AVIdemux via it. Then when error happens, type bt to gdb console.

believe you can get gdb from here: GNU Debugger for Windows

Is this what you are looking for:

Thanks, I think I know what the issue is.  I'll try to sort something out for you soon.

@trgone - I've sent you a PM with instructions.  Please let me know how it goes.

Hi gruntster,
I replied to your e-mail that there is still a problem. I ran the debug program with your pgm and here are the results:

Code Select Expand


(gdb) target exec avidemux2.exe
(gdb) run avidemux2.exe
Starting program: C:\AV\_Video\Avidemux

2.5/avidemux2.exe avidemux2.exe

Let me know if you need anything else.

@Chekov - it appears to be crashing on a memcpy.  What does your admlog.txt file contain? (%APPDATA%\avidemux)
