StaxRip builds (x264, AAC, XviD, DivX, AC3, MP3, AVI, MKV, DIVX container)

Thanks for making the screenshot. Never saw this error dialog before, the theming I see is already something that could cause problems, how did you do that? It's not something included with WinXP by default. Maybe you can tell me everything distinctive from a normal PC like simple fresh WinXP SP2 with normal AthlonXP Penthium IV CPU. Everything that is a little bit out of the norm could be the reason. In order to fix it I have to be able to reproduce it.

I have used the neowin theme patcher. http://www.neowin.net/index.php?act=view&id=23207 and a vista style theme. It would be similar to changing any theme in xp. This just changes the look.

I am using an AMD 3200+ (sempron)

Thanks, maybe you can try the default Lua theme, reboot and try if it works then.

After posting to the usenet I found out something crucial about the startup problem.

I will give that a try tonight when I get home

0.9.2.1 (2006-01-09)

• update: XviD 1.1.0
• fix: Fixed bug happening while StaxRip starts.

The new version works just fine for me using a non xp skin.

Thanks for the fast fix.

[stax]

That's great, now I can continue with adding useful features, thanks for your help.

So what was the problem?

[stax]

The problem was probably you did use a DivX version older than 6.0.3. I posted it to the usenet C# group and a developer quickly spotted the problem using the debugger.

I found however the reason why only the native error dialog was shown instead of StaxRip catching the error and asking to send a bug report which includes detailed debug information making it very easy to fix a bug next time.
