Does it work with 64bit version? can't have it running on my 64 machine ...

u7angel 20/12/2014 - 01:26

brilliant, seems to work pretty good (32 bit)

tekcor 20/12/2014 - 19:52

Thats a gamechanger

graphicuserinterface 21/12/2014 - 18:54

00:01:55 ERR : Exception occured in TMPluginWrapperNode.Evaluate

64bit:
1. writing file but crashing vvvv on stop :(

64/32bit:
2. writing proper image when running on intel HD 4000
3. writing scrambled image when running on nvidia card

1000x1000@30fps

Win8.1, vvvv_45beta33.3, nvidia GT 650m (mobile) latest driver

PS: do i need http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ ? When yes, what should i do with it?

mrboni 10/01/2015 - 21:16

Working here. (32bit - gtx 970)

This is insanely good

Massive thanks

How are codec settings determined btw?

microdee 23/01/2015 - 21:58

for crashing on stop: visual studio debugger says "Unhandled exception at 0x00007FFF5A8D387C (ntdll.dll) in vvvv.exe: 0xC0000374: A heap has been corrupted (parameters: 0x00007FFF5A90CE20)." clicking continue will eventually allow vvvv to go on
also no exception thrown after debugger continue on stop

hi i am getting this when trying to use the help file

An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)

StiX 24/03/2015 - 14:52

could not open codec on x64, x86 works ok
can you maybe specify version of ffmpeg to use?
could there be same problem with PATH?

wow found the problem, it did not liked resolution of 300x505, could we get some specification what can we do? can i somehow change the settings of codec etc?

i can do whatever i want after recording with shellexecute and ffmpeg, but it would be nice to have some control over entry parameters if it is possible

guest 11/05/2015 - 15:56

Of late the recorder only seems to record uncompressed. Is there any suggestion about what settings need to be in place to get the right output? (I did install VLC recently. Could that have made a difference?)

SuperflysiNZ 06/09/2015 - 14:56

Getting a crash on exit, and red writer nodes when record is happening. Only 6KB files being created.

io 30/11/2015 - 13:09

Hi there seems to be a problem with frame-rates. If the frame rate is not stable the final speed of the video seems to be changing.. anybody noticed this?
In any case the resulting videos seems to be always too fast..

Call DisposeTexture() in Initialise() method will fix some problems with red node.

Hello,
I am just trying the help file and I am getting a wierd wave video. I open it on VLC after exporting and even if its in pause the waves still moving.

Any idea on how can i fix this?

35.5x64

panki 06/06/2017 - 18:10

ok; forget it and sorry. It was some sort of problem with VLC since I had opened the saved video on WindowsMedia player and it seems to be ok.

Hi gumilastik,
this sounds great, but is unfortunately not working for me. Same issue that g_da has:

"An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)"

Any help? How does Writer find FFMpeg?

andresc4 06/02/2018 - 17:00

Same problem on 35.12x64

An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)

blausand 11/05/2019 - 03:50

...and still in 38.1 x64

 Es wurde versucht, eine Datei mit einem falschen Format zu laden. (Ausnahme von HRESULT: 0x8007000B)

Any hints to current solutions?

blausand 07/07/2019 - 23:19

Would it be easy to adjust the AVIDX11.TEXTUREWRITER.dll to match the current version of FFMPEG?
See screenshot, left ist vvvv plugin, right is current FFMPEG.

joreg 08/07/2019 - 01:48

@andresc4 @blausand this error clearly points at a mix-up in architecures, ie x86 vs. x64. that could mean: make sure that when using vvvv x64 you also have ffmpeg for x64

blausand 09/07/2019 - 11:10

Ha, indeed: The 64bit version is hidden as "older version" right here on this page.
Now that i found it, it's working as a charm!

ThreeTwo and a half reason why i prefer this node over third party solutions:

Texture AVI Writer (DX11) records alpha channel (Admittedly the currently chosen FFMPEG CoDec doesn't, but gumilastik could empower us to change this in the future)
Any parameters in my vvvv patch can be added to the filename.avi automatically :)
Recording of animations can be started and ended with frame precision, making production of rhythmic clips easy.

Thank you for your quick support once again, joreg!

joreg 09/07/2019 - 11:23

@blausand and thanks for pointing this out. i've now "fixed" this so both 32 and 64 bit downloads show up side by side.
