Crash when used with Theora video encoder about screen-capture-recorder-to-video-windows-free HOT 3 OPEN

Do other inputs work? Other screen capture inputs? [hint: sounds like a bug
in their encoder, unfortunately...]

Hi!

Thanks for the great piece of free software! My project wouldn't be
possible without open source contributors like yourself.

While your examples show successful encoding to x264, there is a
compelling reason to want to use Xiph.Org Theora video encoder. It's less
CPU-intensive, which is good for real-time needs, and is without patent
violation or other licensing worries.

Anyway, hooking the screen-capture-recorder output to the Theora encoder
is allowed in GraphEdit, but when the graph is played, the program crashes
with an Access Violation error.

I am able to use the screen-capture-recorder with other video encoders,
and I am able to use the Theora encoder with other capture sources. It's
only when I use the two together that my application crashes.

I don't know if the issue is in your filter or theirs, but I thought I
would let you know. Thanks, and keep up the hard work!

Here is a screenshot of the simplest graph that will cause the crash:

Hmmm... I was pretty sure that I had seen it work with the MediaLooks filter, but my trial ran out so I can't try it again. I just went and downloaded the SplitMedia VHScreen filter and it does not connect with the Theora encoder at all.

It works fine with my webcam and it seems to work with file sources, but I guess it doesn't work well with screen capture devices for some reason.

Thanks for your help.

I wonder if it needs some type of format conversion intermediate filter
[though graphedit should set those up for you in theory...]
