One of my colleagues here had the same problem and reports that it was fixed by un-installing the DivX package and then installing XVid from http://www.xvid.org/.

We're not precicesly sure what's going on here, but there may be an issue with the xvid codec that is part of the DivX package.

If you get a chance to try this, could you let us know if that fixes the problem?

Thanks, Dave.

Actually I have the same problem. I did as you said, installed XVid, but it did nothing. I still have this problem.
I reinstalled Muvizu, but the problem stayed. Maybe there must be something in XVid configurations?
Also the same thing happens, when I try to open Prefs.

Thanks
Sergo

I use the following settings with the XVID encoder and have no problems making movies.

Profile @ Level : Unrestricted
Encoding Type: Single Pass
Target Quantizer : 4.0
Target bitrate: 700kbps
Frame #: 0
Weight Quant: W 1.00
Quality preset: General Purpose


I think the main problem can be if you are trying to do a Twopass (either 1st or 2nd) for encode type.

Hope this helps!

I installed the newest version of K-Lite Codec Pack and now everything works properly.
Try it Jon and then let me know.
Thanks Jamie. You was wright, my encoding type was on Twopass and I changed it on single. Without this, Codec won`t help.

Windows will close the program and notify you in a solution is available". It then closes and I have to restart the programme. I am running Windows 7 on a 64 bit machine. I have downloaded and installed Divx and K-Lite as suggested. The problems still is happening. I don't quite understand how to change the Twopass encode type as I'm not fluent with these types of thing so I am unsure if this is the problem. Please could you advise as I'd love to start making movies. Thanks in advance

Sorry you are having trouble - is the error occurring after you select your Resolution and Codec? If so have you tried using different Codecs?

Take Care,

Posts: 10 		No, it's happening the moment I click "make movie" where the programme crashes. Just an update. I clicked on the DivX programme I installed and there are 2 options for configure decoder and configure encoder but clicking on either of them comes up with "There was a problem starting xvidvfw.dll. The specified module could not be found"

Posts: 698 		Hi again Richard,

There are two different times that you click on a button labelled "Make Video" - once on the Menu Bar (Video>Make Video) and once on the screen where you can choose your codec and resolution - which one is it?

Although it does sound like you are having trouble with your XVid codec - if you get the error after clicking on the "Make Video" button on the screen with the codecs and resolutions on it could you please try a different codec?

Take care,
-Jim.

Posts: 10 		Sorry, I didn't realise there were two options. It doesn't let me get as far as the second one. It's the first one the Menu Bar (Video>Make Video). As I can't get into the screen to choose the Codec I don't know how to get to the point to be able to change which one it uses. Is it something within the codec pack I need to look at to stop it from crashing ?

Posts: 698 		Hi again Richard,

It's a bit difficult to know there are two options when Muvizu crashes before you can get to the second one .

Any time I have had problems with Codecs I have had to uninstall all of my codec packs and reinstall the K-Lite FULL Codec Pack - I know that this is a bit of a pain but it's the only way to make sure that you aren't getting some sort of conflict between different versions of codecs.

You can get the pack from http://www.free-codecs.com/k_lite_codec_pack_download.htm and it's the one labelled "Download ", but any 3rd party software is used at your own risk.

If this doesn't work please let me know.

Take care,
-Jim.

Posts: 10 		Cool - Thanks for that. I have uninstalled the KLite and Windows 7 Codec packs I installed earlier. I have not installed any others since I recently bought the laptop brand new. I have tried to work out what default codecs are in Windows 7 but can't seem to work out where I would find these out to uninstall them.

Posts: 10 		I have tried everything now. Uninstalled and Re-installed codecs, uninstalled and reinstalled Muvizu. It all keeps coming down to the same problem really. Everything works until the moment I hit "make movie" on the Menu Bar and the whole thing just crashes. I've tried even the simplest project. I am using a i7 processor that can go up to 2.8Mhz, a 6MB Cache, and I have a 1GB soundcard and it just doesn't seem to like my computer. I look forward to any more suggestions but it looks like I won't be able to use this.

Could you post a list of your installed video codecs please? You can access it by doing the following:

Open Windows Media Player
Go to Organise > Layout and Left-Click on "Show Menu Bar"
Go to Help on the Menu Bar
Left-Click on "About Windows Media Player"
Left-Click on "Technical Support Information"
Scroll to the bottom and you will see the list of Video Codecs.

If you have any trouble finding this data please let us know,
-Jim.

Posts: 698 		Hi again Richard, thanks for getting that - it shows us that your operating system can call up the list of codecs with no problems. I will also compare it to the codecs that our Windows 7 machines have.

Just found out that the K-Lite pack includes a utility for detecting broken Codecs (wish I had known about that earlier) - if you go to to Start > K-Lite Codec Pack > Tools > K-Lite Codec Tweak Tool you can use it.

Make sure the only check-box selected is the "Detect Broken codecs and filters - other fixes"
Click Next
Select all check-boxes
Click Next
Click Yes for any fixes (could be quite a few - I ran it myself and got about 6 broken codecs)
Click Finish
Cross Fingers
Try Muvizu again

Please let me know how you get on,
-Jim

Posts: 10 		Hi Jim,

I've given that a go now. It didn't come up with any broken codecs when I ran it. Do you think it is definetly a codec issue ? I just know that with it not getting past the option to make video and select the codec whether there is another explanation. I did try Muvizu again just now. Same crash again unfortunately.

Posts: 698 		Hi Richard,

We thought it may have been caused by your machine not being able to generate the list of codecs - but given the fact that you got the list ok and have no broken codecs it must be something else.

The Devs are working on it Richard - as soon as they have something I will let you know.

Just a couple of general questions though:
Can you save the .set file ok?
Have you tried running Muvizu as an Administrator?

Take care,
-Jim
