[vlc] Crash with 0.8.6h on a cinepak encoded avi

[Mark Cooke]

Hi all,

I have a small problem with one particular cinepak encoded file.

I've put uploaded a copy of the file:

ftp://streams.videolan.org/incoming/17_galaxy_collision_mhs_480x272_c.avi

System details:

Windows XP 32bit, SP3
Intel P4, 1GB RAM
NVidia Graphics
VLC Media Player 0.8.6h


VLC crashes shortly (1-2 seconds) after playback starts.

Windows produces the 'VLC media player has encountered a problem and needs
to close.' error box.

libcinepak_plugin.dll  0.8.6.0
Offset 00001f50

Exception information
Code: 0xc0000005
Flags: 0x00000000
Record: 0x0000000000000000
Address: 0x000000006fbc1f50


It plays back without a problem in WMP, (and I believe was played back in an
earlier version of VLC last year, but haven't yet verified this).


Any ideas ?

Mark
