Windows Media Encoder crashes

z0mbi3 · 20-February-06, 04:48 AM

Everytime I try to encode a wmv with windows media encoder it crashes and restarts the application.

This is the first time I've had this problem, but then it's the first time I've run wme since my last reinstall. I can play wmv's just fine in all my players and I can encode wma's just fine.

Any thoughts on what could be up? The error I get is fairly non descript but I'll post it up when I'm at home.

i am presuming that you have everything patched and up to date with service packs and hot fixes?

Yep, everything is all up to date.

Here's a screeny of the error but I don't see it helping..

I know only the top bit is relevant but I've already uploaded it

.

What I did notice is that it crashes right after the matroska pack is called on and the aspect ratio of the source is defined properly in the preview.
