FFd show crashing windows explorer.

Post by James Sharp » Sat Jan 20, 2007 9:45 pm

My ffd show crashes my windows explorer whenever i try to view some of the clips i have made for my video.. it crashes as soon as i open the folder that the videos are in..

I can uninstall ffd show.. but i wanted to see if anyone had any other solutions for it because i think ffd show is important isnt it?
Close calls are always the most exciting. Coming close is always the most dissapointing.

2 things:

Update ffdshow to the latest version if you haven't already. The best way is to download and install CCCP (http://www.cccp-project.net/) which uses the latest stable build of ffdshow. You could also download and install the bleeding-edge betas (and alphas) from the development fork here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=173941. You'd want to uninstall any and all previous versions first before installing these newer editions.

OR

Tweak your current ffdshow install by disabling any decoding that you don't want ffdshow doing, like WMV, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, XviD/DivX video, and MP3, WMA, AC3, AAC audio, etc. Don't forget to adjust ffdshow's VFW decoder's settings also.

If you installed the newest standalone ffdshow you'd probably want to adjust its default settings (the version installed by CCCP is already customized, although you may still want to do some tweaking yourself).

I seem to remember there being an option for ffdshow not to do previewing (although maybe it's just that I don't have it decoding troublesome formats - about the only foreseeable thing it'd be doing previews for are stuff encoded with HuffYUV, or MS MPEG-4 - but I rarely even come across the latter and would never think about editing with it, so the preview thing wouldn't even apply - I mainly use preview mode with the folder I keep my editing clips in; everything else uses Detail view).
