Just as the topic says, no mater what video player I use, it crashes at some point when i play Huffy vids.

Oh and another thing..

I tried to install the latest huffy codec and this is error i get:

i tried googling to find help but its no use, so this place is my last resort.

Can anyone tell me how to fix these probs?

Try checking your Add or Remove Programs in your Control Panel and un-installing any listings of Huffyuv you find. If you installed it with the AMVapp (which the last non-beta version installs should be 2.1.1.1), it should show up as Lossless Codecs, iirc. The huffyuv.dll that Windows uses should be located in your C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder. You can check the .dll file's properties to find out which version it is. Warning: uninstalling Lossless Codecs will also remove the version of Lagarith installed with the AMVapp.

I suspect the real culprit is a conflict with another decoder like ffdshow. If you have ffdshow installed, you can try replacing it with a newer version (I recommend installing the version that comes with CCCP, it's stable and configured to be less intrusive on most systems. Link in my sig. If you prefer the bleeding edge, Google 'ffdshow tryouts'). Or, go into ffdshow's Video decoder configuration and disable it's support for Huffyuv (optionally, you can disable ffdshow's VFW codec configuration in addition).

I'm out the door and on my way to work, but if someone else doesn't solve this in eight hours, I'll investigate it more fully.

huffyuv isn't made for viewing. only editing.
though it still should be crashing like this :/ the effect is usally choppy video.

can you still encode huffy and upload it to a video program?

no it shouldn't crash. back then i viewed it many times for quality checking and it ran smoothly on my FX-60.

when i opened it up on vdub, it doesnt crash til i play or encode it.

for vid editing program... it runs fine in vegas 7. at least thats good.

Your system apparently cant find the file setupx.dll. Somehow, something has apparently deleted or corrupted this file and screwed up your system.

AT YOUR OWN RISK, you could try downloading the file from here and place it in your windows system folder: http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-f ... tml?setupx

Then try reinstalling huffyuv.

but before you do it make system restore point incase it screws up anything

@Zarxrax:
i've already done that yesterday, and it came out "wrong OS" or something.

@Up In Flamez: .....wow i completely forgot about system restore, maybe i should try that.

thanks for helping me guys. =]
