Importing MPEG into VV3 causes crash

bcbarnes wrote on 12/11/2001, 10:11 AM
If I locate an MPEG on my system using the explorer, and then drag-and-drop that either into the timeline or into the media pool, VV3 gets an access violation (0xC0000005) from windows, and is closed. The MPEG was created using VV3 and the standard DVD NTSC template. This also happens with other MPEG videos. Drag-and-dropping several .AVI files works Ok.

I have been experiencing the pretty much the same thing. The file browser seems to hang on directories that have an MPEG file in them. (I have not verified this yet but seems to be the case). If I actually get into the directory and add the MPEG file, VV3 crashes. I am on 98SE. Anyone else seen this?

I had an earlier post about this, I'm using XP. Trying to bring MPEG2 files into the media pool crashed VV3, and I was told its a bug (By SF), and will be fixed in an update. However, there is a way around this, by changing the view in media pool to detail instaed of thumbnail does'nt crash VV3. I can then play the file or drag it to the timeline, no further problems. I'm not sure if this is exactly what is happening with your setup, but try it.

working with the media pool at all seems a bit buggy. i've just turned the feature off. i miss it though.

doboyd,

You hit the problem on the head. I tried what you suggested last night, changing the media pool to use detail view instead of thumbnail, and it worked great. Thanks for the tip.

Is there a fix out for this problem yet? I loaded the trial version of a sound forge onto my XP system and found that I could no longer open existing VV30 projects. As they would start loading, the error message that is the topic of this thread would appear, and XP would lead me through a couple of dialog boxes ("ok"/"send-don't send error report") before shutting down VV30.

The only way I could get back into my projects was to use the System Restore (great feature, by the way) to reset my system prior to loading the offending SF50.

Perusing this forum, I stumbled across this thread, tried changing media pool view to list (I know, the suggestion was to use detail view, but I never quite get anything exactly right . . . anyhow, thumbnail view appears to be the offender as either list or detais view works fine), voila. SF50 and VV30 now can coexist in harmony.

This same quirck also shows up in my vidcap30 area. If view is set to thumbnail, vidcap30 will crash after every capture session, although the captured clips are fine. Change the view to list, and she runs like a charm.
