Does it mean the download feature is completely broke for you? Many packages contain additional or modified files, the 7z package for instance has a additional manifest file to make the UAC dialog in Vista popup trying extracting to a directory requiring elevated user privilegs to write.

@weaver4

I guess MP4Box don't accept your subtitle file probably because of a problem with the text encoding.

Yep, worked here too! Thanks!

Stax - what was the problem? I have another app with the same error message, and the author have no clue as to what could be wrong.

There were two problems, one causing a exception and another one not catching possible exceptions. Just tell him to change the region to norway in the windows control panel, then he can reproduce the crash. Following code was crashing:

Code:
CultureInfoValue = New CultureInfo(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.TwoLetterISOLanguageName)
On a exception .NET applications normally show a own exception dialog or at least the .NET exception dialog is shown so it's easy to track the problem. In case there is a unhandled exception in the constructor of the startup form however, the .NET exception dialog is not shown but only the crash dialog of the operating system giving no hints what the problem is. The solution for this adding a try catch block in the constructor to handle possible exceptions or to use the event AppDomain.UnhandledException to handle anything unhandled, the event Application.ThreadException won't work in this case!

Since I've improved exception handling in the latest beta I'm hoping future crashs will always show more then just the useless crash dialog of the operating system.

Thanks, doesnt crash anymore :-)

but I am confused as I am getting an empty window (both edit and preview). I assumed that this would give one the ability to change the presets (container configuration ) already there or am I getting this wrong ?

Wouldn't it be easier both for the user and you, Stax, to compile just one big file for StaxRip with all what it needs, where the .exe and simply everything is already included? Virtually an "all-in-one"-package? - If this would be packed with the very efficient 7zip-packer I guess it would cause less traffic, than if every user is forced to load every external application e.g. when re-installing something on his system form your server again and again.

Maybe it has no default presets.

There are a couple of problems with that, moving to another system just backup your download and install directory, the directories where StaxRip downloads applications and unpacks applications. On a new system just point StaxRip to these directories. By default these directories are in the settings dir I think so if you don't moved them out you just have to backup your settings dir. When StaxRip starts and don't find a settings dir it'll ask for it and create default settings if there is none.

can you play mkvs in windows media player?
if not, you need a mkv source filter (haali media splitter)...

Windows Media Player = no
Installed haali, still gives the error and still no playback in Windows Media Player.

It seems like it's something simple that I missing, like "use this app to handle this" type of thing.
I use OSX, so forgive me if I'm slow to pick up on this.

Still gives the error I mentioned in my first post with the bugreport.

"DirectShowSource: couldn't open file. The format is not supported."

then you miss the required decoders. you should know what video and audio format you used to create that file... look for decoders and install them.

Well it's H.264, and I've tried installing ffdshow (by itself and as a part of the Cole2k codec pack) and am still having issues.
The mkv files do play in Windows Media Player now, but StaxRip is still giving the DirectShowSource error.

I appreciate your help by the way, I know it must be frustrating dealing with something as open-ended as this.

@Albo

Please upload a new diagnostic file using a new beta. By deault StaxRip should demux your source using mkvextract and then load it using DGAVCDec so by default it shouldn't even fallback to DirectShowSource, I don't know why this don't work with your source but I'll probably find out.

This bug report is from the latest beta. Same file I posted above.

Bug Report, manually generated after receiving error

The app used to work perfectly, but something is amiss somewhere, and I know it's going to be something simple, something I'm missing with this new install.
