I had to change deeply the build to avoid the weird crash that happened previously
That build
Zip
http://avidemux.org/nightly/win32/avidemux_r8555_win32.7z
Installer
http://fixounet.free.fr/2.6/avidemux_2.6.3_r8558_win32.exe

Should work find on both xp & newer
It does not require compatibility mode

Please report if you see weird things

I have the same "160kb problem" with the new windows version (r8558 win32)
Not happened before in r8518.

Sample: any video, try one http://www.share-online.biz/dl/Y2UDH5LMM6
System: WinXP SP3 32bit
Avidemux version: r8558 32bit

Just seems that something crashes in x264 encoding.
Copy mode works. Xvid encoding also works.
More I did not try.

There is some hard to solve problem with windows 32 bits binary
I just tested the 64bits, was fine

New release now starts properly under XP.
However it still leaves a zombie process on exit (AVIDEMUX.EXE) which keeps control of the used codec.

New 32 & 64 bits installers

* SSA/ASS renabled, might take 30 seconds the first time you start it
* x264 rebuld with pthreadGC2 instead of libwinpthread

You still might run into sudden exit, if that happens in a repeatable way, please say what you did

After some quick tests on Windows XP 32bit ...

A "sudden exit" always happens when trying to encode 2pass x264 with audio encoding.

1pass with or without audio = works
2pass no audio = works
2pass with audio encoding = exit without message
But copy mode for audio sometimes works.

I tried container formats mkv, mp4 and avi.

Usually I dont need audio encoding from avidemux, so its perfect for me... but maybe this will help you.

Good work, thanks! 8)


Edit:
Tests above were with H264/AAC .mp4 videos.
Trying to encode from MPEG2 .ts videos in 2pass x264 results in crash after 1st pass.
