Microsoft VIsual C++ Runtime Library error

[Guest]

Folks

When I attempt to add a video clip to a collection, I receive a MS C++ Runtime Library error

Program c:\Program Files\Movie Maker\moviekm.ex
abnormal program terminatio

The clips are mpg or avi files that are viewable in the WMP just fine

I also get the exact same error when trying to capture video from an attacked cam

I had downloaded and installed the WM Encoder and the WM Encoder SDK, which is when the problems seemed to begin. The WM Encoder would crash in exactly the same way. Even after uninstalling these and reinstalling Movie Maker, I experience the same C++ Runtime Error

Furthermore, I am unable to remove these two codecs
DivX MPEG-4 Video Codec (Fast-Motion
DivX MPEG-4 Video Codec (Low-Motion

From within the Device Manager, I can select them and choose to Remove them, but they simply never go away. If I close the Video Codecs Properties Page (of the Device Manager) and then re-open it, they are still there

GSpot lists
DSH DIVX DivX Decoder Filter ** File Missing: C:\WINDOWS\System32\divxdec.a
DSH DIVX DivX Decoder Filter ** File Missing: C:\WINDOWS\System32\divxdec.a

There are no other problem CODECs listed by GSpot

Thanks in advance for all suggestions

MPEG2 and Divx AVI files might play in the Windows Media Player but not work
in MM2.... it would be a codec issue.

Folks,

When I attempt to add a video clip to a collection, I receive a MS C++ Runtime Library error:

Program c:\Program Files\Movie Maker\moviekm.exe
abnormal program termination

The clips are mpg or avi files that are viewable in the WMP just fine.

I also get the exact same error when trying to capture video from an attacked cam.

I had downloaded and installed the WM Encoder and the WM Encoder SDK,

which is when the problems seemed to begin. The WM Encoder would crash in
exactly the same way. Even after uninstalling these and reinstalling Movie
Maker, I experience the same C++ Runtime Error.

Furthermore, I am unable to remove these two codecs:
DivX MPEG-4 Video Codec (Fast-Motion)
DivX MPEG-4 Video Codec (Low-Motion)

From within the Device Manager, I can select them and choose to Remove

them, but they simply never go away. If I close the Video Codecs Properties
Page (of the Device Manager) and then re-open it, they are still there!

PapaJohn,

Yes, I figured it most likely was due to the DixX codecs. However, the issue here is that I am UNABLE to remove them. As I wrote:

From within the Device Manager, I can select them and choose to Remove them, but they
simply never go away. If I close the Video Codecs Properties Page (of the Device Manager)
and then re-open it, they are still there!

From with the Control Panel | Add Remove Programs, selecting to remove the DivX5.0.2 bundle attempts to execute an uninstall that no longer exits.

I do not know of any other way to remove these codecs.

Thanks for your assistance.

I guess the files are being refreshed from backup ones in some cache... maybe just leave them there but 'unregister' them.

See the section about registering and un-registering a codec on the Problem Solving > Acceleration and Codecs page.

Hope you know that you need to have the administrator rights to change these
settings ? Can you install/uninstall other programs ?

Hi there,

Your problem may be caused by a codec that Movie Maker does not like. This
a very common issue.

Your one-stop-don't-need-to-look-anywhere-else Solution is with a program
called "Rename Codecs".

Instead of reading miles of dross that is full of maybe's and perhaps's
just run the program, it takes a few moments to identify all of the known
codecs that cause this problem and gives you the opportunity of renaming
them, or, you can now use the new Auto feature in version 1.5 and let the
program take care of virtually everything to do with this problem

You can then run Movie Maker and immediately determine if it actually was a
codec issue. If it was a codec issue Movie Maker will now run properly. If
it was not the issue, you have lost nothing more than a short amount of
time.

Whether or not it was a codec issue you must run the program once more and
restore the problem codecs to their original names.

The two procedures together can take less time than it did to read this
message and a whole lot less than reading mountains of bumph that may or
may not apply to you.

The program "Rename Codecs" is free and available from my website.

While there it would be a good idea to check out the tutorial on how to run
the program...that will take around one minute of your time!!! Use this
quick link to get there real fast http://tinyurl.com/3ewb9
