1.4 - Strange crashes with nVidia codecs

Dreamer · Postby **Dreamer** » Tue Oct 30, 2007 9:41 am

I can't reproduce this, but it happened three times, just few minutes after comp. and DD start.

I have started DD and switched between few channels, after few minutes, I have changed language (first and second time, not third time), DD has crashed (not immediately after language change, dvbdream1.log).

Then I started DD again and after switch to 2 channels, there was just a black screen - codec background was pink! Then immediately it was working perfect in v1.3c, same codecs, channel, setings, ch. list... After few minutes it wos working good - same codecs also in 1.4. Very strange.

Then after few minutes, I have switched few scrambled channels and DD has crashed again, this time without any error dialog (dvbdream2.log).

I'm testing Cyberlink now... Looks OK until now.

Video Codec.....: nVidia (v0.0.0.227 - 25. 2. 2003)

Edit: Cyberlink codecs are still working perfect, testing more than 30 minutes:

Video Codec.....: CyberLink (v4.0.0.113 - 17. 12. 2002)
Audio Codec.....: CyberLink (v5.0.0.33 - 5. 8. 2003)
H264 Codec......: ATI MPEGVD (v9.15.0.233 - 13. 7. 2007)
Video Renderer..: Overlay Video Renderer
Audio Renderer..: Default DirectSound Device

I'm using Overlay renderer, since Cyberlink+VMR9 combination doesn't work.

Changed to nVidia (a/v), VMR9 - immediate crash without any dialog after just few seconds!!

Now I'll try nVidia codecs with the old version...

Edit2:

nVidia+1.3c works perfect, tested 30 min., switching between many channels, also scrambled, then the same channel as with 1.4.

It looks the combination v1.4 + nVidia (+VMR9) doesn't work good.

Tested with timeshift disabled, in both versions.

No, I tried VMR and Overlay, result is "4 pink lines" after 2 channel changes, after restart and few minutes - crash.

After another restart, few channel changes "4 pink lines" again with overlay renderer and another crash after about 5 minutes.

Cyberlink a/v /overlay is working good, tested few hours.
