[will not fix] Video : Corrupted AVI crashs MP2-Client (1 Viewer)

[Smeulf]

Hi all,

I have in a temporary folder a corrupted AVI file. I think it's only the container with some valid properties, but without any stream, or something like this.

It's a temporary file created by an AVI encoder, and as it's temporary, of course it should not remains on my disk. Unfortunately, I have this one maybe because I stopped the encoding process at some point.

Anyway, even if it's a very particular case, I thought it was interesting to point this out : when I try to play this file, it crashes MP2. In fact, it also crashes Windows Media Player, but not VLC witch is just trying to play it and doesn't show anything, not make sound.

I think it's related to a DirectShow error (please confirm...), because I can't see any while debugging MP2, and I have absolutely nothing interesting in the logs.

Corrupted file attached.

Maybe it won't be fixed, but at least it's now known.

Cheers.

Smeulf.

I can confirm this issue:

Problemsignatur:
  Problemereignisname:	APPCRASH
  Anwendungsname:	MP2-Client.vshost.exe
  Anwendungsversion:	10.0.30319.1
  Anwendungszeitstempel:	4ba2084b

For me the DivX.dll causes unmanaged exception (i.e. access violations) which cannot be caught from C# side.

It would be really useful to handle this in a proper way, but I don't know how. The results from google don't work (catch {} should catch also unmanaged exceptios)...

MP2 is built under .NET 4.0 (or later) or under .NET 3.5? I found this article, which leads me to this article. Maybe it could help.
