Hi,

first of all thanks for the great program, I'm using it already a few years now, mainly for post processing recorded Video (mediacenter) and never had any big problem with it biggrin.gif .

Since recently, i wanted to use the CPU of my mediacenter/office Pc a little more when recording something, so i wrote a service (vb.net) to start vdub.exe in the background (with a job script) when the only occupation of the Pc is recording. (the service and vdub run under as special account created for this purpose, so should be independent of other programs / users on the computer)

All works fine except in the following situation (The pc is also used for normal tasks, not exclusively for mediacenter purpose):
when during a processing job one of my home users log on, the task happily continues, but when logging off, VirtualDub shuts down the dubbing process with exit code 5. I find this strange, because the account the Vdub process is running under has nothing to do with the other users logging on or off. Is this possible a problem in VirtualDub (listening to too many windows messages)? and can I do something about it?

thanks in advance.

You may want to check what user and desktop VirtualDub is actually running under -- vdub.exe is a front end for VirtualDub /console.

Thanks,

The user VirtualDub was running under was ok (the special one created - the same one used to run the service), but since you stated that Vdub is only VirtualDub /console, I tried this instead (VirtualDub /console /x ...) and to my surprise this worked. No more problems logging on and off, the dub process works as expected.

So there must be something in Vdub to cause this problem.

I will now do some further tests, and if i find something interesting, i will post it here.
