Crashes with video

Hi, quite new to this program but am totally amazed by what i`ve seen.

My problem is this -

everytime i attempt to connect a video via filestream i get a crash.
this is using a filestream to video texture to quad.
Also everytime i try to connect my video camera (which is detected by premiere) via video in i get a crash too.

i have updated the drivers for my video card and downloaded some new codec packs.

i can provide a crash report if necessary

sorry if im asking a really simple question im new to this

halo.

can you give us more details about your system?
windows version + servicepack
video card + driver version
camera/captureboard + driver

the windows-crashreport won’t help.

instead of connecting to VideoTexture when you connect to VideoOut(DShow9) how does that feel?

hi

thanks for the swift response.

im running windows xp sp2 with a amd 3200+
i got a gefore 68000GT with forceware 81.95 drivers
my camera is a sony dcr-hc30E handycam
my capture board is a basic 3 port pci firewire card
with driver version 5.1.2535.0 - on my VIA 1394 host controller.

I have connected straight to videoout(dshow9) and this appears to work for both filestream and videoin.

When i connected through video texture and a quad i still get crashes.

regards

hm…everything sounds clean so far.
on another thread dns mentioned a similar problem that got fixed with nvidias 81.95 drivers. so this still might be a problem with your card…

do the crashes completely exit vvvv? if not:
create a Renderer (TTY) before connecting videoin to videotexture and post the output of Renderer(TTY) here.

thanks again for quick repsonse

  • im runnin 81.95 driver - i reinstalled again just incase.

do the crashes completely exit vvvv?
the crashes do eventually exit vvvv however i am able to get this readout form tty before it crashes.

when connecting a videoin to videotexture i get the following reading:

i then connect the videotexture to the quad - then as i connect a quad to the ex9 renderer vvvv crashes to desktop but i managed to get this from the tty:

When i try using a filestream i get the following reports:
When i first create a filestream node i get:

00:00:26 ERR : The system cannot find the file specified.
00:00:26 : Adding node to filtergraph: FileStream (DShow9)

I then connect filestream to video texture then quad.
When i then create a EX9 renderer i get

00:02:12 * :couldnt be created because of unknown reasons.

then when i connect quad to renderer i get:

00:02:23: * :couldnt be created because of unknown reasons.

that last line seems to appear no matter what type of video im trying to play.

Sorry for the long post.

do you by any chance have the directxsdk installed? and if so have the debug-runtime selected via the directx control panel? that would also cause the videotexture to crash.

on the other hand

00:02:23: :ds connect from:Output to: VMR Input0
00:02:23 :Some of the streams in this movie are in an unsupported format.
sounds like the connections have been made correctly…

ive never knowingly installed the directxsdk.

im gonna try reinstalling both vvvv and direct x 9.0c and see if i get any joy from that. thanks a lot for your help

ok solved my problem - on reinstalling vvvv i noticed that i had version 9 installed - installin 9.2 fixed things for me! Thanks for the help anyways - hopefully ill be back soon with some better questions…
