Avidemux 64bit and 32bit crash loading some .mkv files

[xpmule]

i re-downloaded it from the nightly FTP and i also renamed my roaming folder then tried again
and it still crashed like before with the same American Dad video..
It shows the Build crash info dialog window then underneath it says Matroska building clusters 77% and time elapses 2 seconds.
Then loading the crash on next launch shows the same message the OP and i got before.

So i don't know really maybe for some reason i got a bad file ?
Although i was confident i got it properly complete form a torrent (not http: links which we know get cut off easily)
I've watched the show a few times and it play fine with the LAV installer codec package using WMC and LAV x64 (with media foundation disabled)

Hmm so i don't know lol
Maybe i will try and get the video again and do a binary/hex comparison with Beyond Compare on the video to rule out the corrupt video idea.
Not a big deal for me i just wanted to report the bug i thought i found eh

lastly i just checked the fresh avidemux log file and it says the exact same thing i quoted earlier.. so i won't copy it into this comment again lol

Maybe there is a rogue leftover setting from previous runs?

Quick way to find out is to rename avidemux.exe to avidemux_portable.exe .
Then run avidemux_portable.exe.

Doing that will run avidemux in portable mode with a clean state.
You can return it to that clean state anytime by deleting the settings folder.
The settings folder, created by running in portable mode, is in the same location as the avidemux executable.

This sometimes works for me when I get crashes on loading a file.

I have a lot of MKV's with AVC that I wish to transcode to MKV with Xvid.
Because Xvid is all that my media player knows .

Now I finally also got one that crashes r9050 (and prior builds).
Mediainfo shows nothing disastrous (ie height = 292 = integer multiple of 4 only, and original frame rate of 29):

A crash file is generated but contains no info.

Backtrace:
Shows that there is 1024 bytes of extra data,  mostly filled with 00.
This seems to not be handled by avidemux, when it comes to dealing with the audio stream.

Saving crash file to F:\testing - delete\avidemux_2.6.8_win32_v2\settings\crash.py

Deleting the audio track lets avidemux load the video but it crashes very quickly when seeking.
Remuxing with MKVToolnix doesn't get rid of the extra data and gives the same result.

Extracting the raw audio and video streams with MKVCleaver and remuxing those gets rid of this "zero fill extra data".
Avidemux work's fine with the resulting media file.

Maybe the lenght of the "extra data" is responsible in other cases where Avidemux crashes on loading MKV/AVC.

There is no problem with playing the media file using Directshow filters.
Hence, for the adventurous, there is the option to frame serve Avidemux with Avisynth.
Avisynhth plus Avidemux is a great combination as it lets you bypass the built in Decoders/Encoders and use other installed onces.

The one i have has the following md5 : a6d59ac8a42b83838d5748450725ec29

MD5: acffd554fe1432cb747d2feb028ea7da
American Dad! - S09E16 - She Swill Survive (WED-DL) (720p).mkv
397 MB (416,833,148 bytes)
i renamed the file but it was from the group called iTOONZ

if that is what your md5 was from too then i may have a bad file because our md5's don't match eh.. hmmmm

[AQUAR]

Finding the exact same media file in an unreferenced and independent manner is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Why not exchange DL details in a private email?
 

[xpmule]

it's scene release guy lol
so no that is not true.. and the dev obviously knows this.
and the info was provided publicly to benefit everyone comes and reads this and there for preventing ore un-needed complaining.

you know guy if you were perceptive enough you would have seen he got what i meant so..

I guess I am just a dumbass trying to help.
