comskip 80.006 crash on H.264 / AAC. Have video clip

[himself]

I get periodic crashes with some shows that are being recorded off my hd-pvr. I can't seem to find a pattern, either. Sometimes its 1080i shows that fail, somtimes 720p.

I did however, manage to snag a small piece of the dirty jobs episode this week that is consistently causing crashes. I've cut out a 30 second piece around where it crashes. It's 40mb. If you can give me a place to upload it, I'd be happy to!

I'm having similar problems with H264/AC3 recordings from my HD PVR using SageTV (not that I think that matters at all). They're about 5mbps recordings and comskip does not seem to like them at all. I can try to cut out a piece and upload it if you'd like.

If you want to do so please do (will send you the ftp details)
I already have some examples that fail, and its very difficult to solve them as its basically the h.264 decoder crashing. But I will not give up for the moment so be patient.

Found a cure for at least one crash, hope to release later this week

Does comskip use it's own decoder, or is it using directshow?

[erik]

Its using its own decoder
I may change this in the future for h.264

I uploaded my clip for you. Took longer than I had hoped to get it up there. But it will definitely cause a crash for you.

Uh, woops! I didn't notice that a new build was put up there before I uploaded the clip. I'm running the new build against it now and it seems to be working so far. Thanks!!

I'm trying out the new version now. I'll post back if I get an more crashes.
