VirtualDub Crash: Memory? (Help!)

Ayushima · Post by **Ayushima** » Mon Oct 08, 2007 4:16 am

I have been trying constantly use VirtualDub on my ripped dvd footage but everytime I use it it crashes, that is it crashes with my ripped dvd footage turned to d2vs, it works fine with other kinds of footage. As far as I know, everything I've done is exactly what the how-to guide says. The last time it crashed, a dialogue box said this was the problem:

An out-of-bounds memory access (access violation) occurred in module 'VirtualDub'...
...reading address 00000010.

What does it mean and what should I do?

sounds like you don't have enough ram.

if you're frameserving via avisynth, you can try adding the setmemorymax() line
though I don't know how much it'l help.
put the memory size (in MB) in the parentheses that you want the script to use (0 isn't an option).

I'm having a similar issue. This might fix it... what would you suggest as a minimum for the memory max?

I don't know what the default is, and I don't use it enough to know what a good value is (or even if it makes a noticeable difference in the memory usage). I'd try something like 8,16,32 or 64

I don't know if that'l help your problem, but try checking the documentation for mpeg2-source and telecide...then if that doesn't work maybe try adding a 16-pixel border to the left side before de-interlacing and removing it afterwords

I've tried everything, and I have 0.99GB of Ram, do I need more memory or is my computer just bad?

Try virtualdubmod and see if it gives you the same error.

Rereading, you ARE using avs scripts, right? You're not just trying to dump the d2v files into vdub, right?

I am using avs, i've done everything the how to guide said, and I tried Vdubmod, same thing

Script:
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\Decomb.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\MPEG2Dec3.dll")
MPEG2Source("C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\DVD2AVI\yu.d2v")
FieldDeinterlace()

I don't think it's the script, I think somehting wrong with my computer.

I'm not a script guru like some people here, but I don't think you need the LoadPlugin lines in there. Avisynth auto loads any plugins as far as I know.

For your SmoothDeinterlace plugin you may want to redownload it from here, as well as consult the documentation for usage.

Also, if the SmoothDeinterlace is at fault, you may want to try another deinterlacing plugin from here:
