Video studio 10 PLUS crashes on launch

Post by trav1085 »

I just bought Ulead Video Studio 10 Plus, since I realized that I will never get into professional moving making with Windows Movie Maker. I installed the program, and when I open it and a choose video editor from the menu, it gives one of those Windows XP crash report things everytime on the loading screen.

The data the report contains is (not a full log):

AppName: vstudio.exe AppVer: 10.0.0.0 ModName: ffdshow.ax
ModVer: 10.0.0.1 Offset: 00118bd8

If it matters, I will list some programs that I think could possibly conflict, DivX 6, Media Player Classic, VideoLAN Player, XP Codec Pack, and Nero 6 OEM. I also installed FFDSHOW codec from SF, hoping it would make it work.

Oh, and just to mention, if your having this problem as well, don't reply saying 'Oh, I have that problem to.' as you can just wait for the answer instead of telling everyone, it's not like someone is going to favour another over which to give the answer to.

There was no real need for the nastiness implicit in your last comment... :cry:

However, that being said, can you tell us whether you installed the ffdshow codec before or after you installed VS -- since the error message makes a direct reference to it. More to the point, was it installed after you began having the crashes? It could have overwritten Ulead's own Direct Show codec which is what the program uses for DV capture.

Of the programs you list, I don't know Video LAN player, but of the others, the only one of which I would be very wary is the XP codec pack. Too many people have too many problems when they install multiple codec packs. The packs are all too often thrown together with a wide variety of codecs, not all of which are compatible with each other, let alone the codecs already on your computer.

While I have two separate mega codec packs, I use them only when I have a specific need of one codec, and I install only that one codec, rather than the whole lot.

Try uninstalling the pack first, and see if VS works. If not, then I would remove the ffdshow codec and see what happens then.
