DVDFAB QT 8.0.9.0x not working under WinXP SP3

@Mitabre - I'd avoid 3rd party sites, especially since DVDFAB relies on customers downloading from them. Also, by downloading from DVDFAB, you rule out the possibility of someone tampering with the executable, not to mention viruses, etc.

@reeman - According to the evidence I've found, at least in my case, QT is having an issue accessing a memory space. An access violation occurs when a program is trying to access a piece of RAM that has already been assigned to another application or the wrong data type exists in that memory space - like a letter exists instead of a number. This can happen for a variety of reasons and can be quite the pain in the ass to debug, especially without feedback for the developer. I suspect the developers immediately knew it's got something to do with QT.

Access violations aren't exactly planned on, so the app in question generally takes a dump, but usually there's a log file or SOMETHING to go on. Luckily, "Bugtrap" caught this info.

What's weird is that my first reaction is not to blame the QT .dll. From the looks of it, it's a DVDFAB object that's using QT: QMUTEX::lock. But I'm not an expert. Could be an uninitialized variable - (producing garbage or wrong data type).

Dvd fab not working on win.xp ser. Pk. 3

i am still having the same problems as you do still. i do hope that fab will be able to fix this extreamly annoying (bug) get the can of RAID and kill it already, but seriously, if they dont figure it out soon than im afraid when the movie companys come out with a new encription for movies i will be lying dead in the water with a lifetime program that i will no longer be able to use.

I don't know what I said wrong, but I will blank out any other software names in case that is why this is third time I am having to post this. So much for trying to be of help.

My reply was not posted, so I will post it again:
Reeman, thanks, too for the feedback. I am sure there will be a debug version to try as they did have a link for one in the past under, "Cannot Start DVDFab, read this". I am patient. Actually, I was using blank and blank and had no problems with it, but I was curious to try DVDFab.

I've tried other Windows versions and my preference is XP Pro.

Galaxy_Stranger, I assumed Softpedia's trusted links were safe, as I've never had problems previously.

Some more clues, is that I don't use XP to surf, but use Linux, so I don't have a firewall or antivirus software installed. I do have WinPatrol installed, though I don't see that causing any problems installing software. I also have a second hard drive and that is where the XP paging file is installed on middle of hard drive of 4.5GB fat32 partition.

I bought at 8.0.8.5
when i discovered the audio sync problems i was directed to the updates.
tried to update to 8.0.9.2 and near the end of the install i get
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DvdFab.exe-Application Error
The instruction at "0x00000000" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The
Memory could not be "read"

Click OK to terminate the program.
Click Cancel to debug the program.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I click on cancel to debug
install continues
I reboot my system
I click on DVDFab QT and i get
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DvdFab.exe-Application Error
The instruction at "0x02c04a77" referenced memory at "0x001ec1cc". The
Memory could not be "read"

Click OK to terminate the program.
Click Cancel to debug the program.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I click cancel to debug and nothing happens
I try to uninstall QT and it locks up my applications

I've tried CCleaner

10 different ways of installing and it always ends up with me restoring my pc to a previous checkpoint. and reinstallin 8.0.8.5. Ive been battling this for almost three weeks +.
Even tried incremental updates but 8.0.9.0 Qt doesn't work either

Downloaded 8.0.9.2 to my wifes laptop and it works fine. So it is an issue for XP professional.

In discussions with the DVDFab team and they are trying to re-create my issue. No luck so far.

Might fix your issue!!

Do you have a Nvidia video card? If so, and use Ntune, then I recommend you uninstall Ntune and then the Nvidia drivers. Reboot the computer and reinstall the 270.61WHQL drivers or the 275.27beta drivers and reboot the computer. If you also use Ntune, you can reinstall it then. Reboot the computer and do a fresh full install of QT8092 and it should complete and run.

I did this today because I was having some of the same issue you are having and it corrected it for me. I'm not saying it will help you but it might and won't hurt to try.

If you have a ATI card, I'm not sure if it would help but having the latest video card driver may.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the idea, Frankser - it sure was worth a try.

I made sure I wiped out everything related to DVDFab and my Nvidia drivers.

But, alas, 'twas for naught.

I opened up an .iso and DVDFab just disappeared. All I got was this from the internal log:

 1m 42.62s: detected dvd
 1m 42.62s: iso E:\rips\XFDISC4.iso
 1m 42.62s: dvd type 1
 1m 42.62s: volume label XFDISC4
 1m 44.07s: got copyright 0 0
 1m 44.26s: got udf/iso
 1m 44.42s: got discinfo
 1m 44.42s: pathplayer enabled
 1m 52.21s: got dvdinfo
 1m 52.21s: opened dvd

good news, just recieved word today that due to a cracked installer causing issues with XP installations there will be a new QT out sometime this week.

Let's Hope that it is a fix.
