<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Hi Derek,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2> We'd certainly appreciate
anything you can uncover- the AGVCR seems to crash at random, even when it's not
playing or recording anything. Sometimes it will record fine for 45 minutes
and never freeze, and other times it will lock up after 10 minutes, recording or
not. When it does freeze while recording, it always
corrupts the file being recorded. I agree that it's probably some
windows-specific glitch- unfortunately, that's what we're running on our
machines, which are 'former' InSors cubes. Any help you can offer would be
great- thanks again for getting back to me so fast with the GTK update. Even
with the crashes, AGVCR is still an impressive piece of work! </FONT></DIV>

<P> <FONT size=2>Hi
Phillip,<BR><BR> Still crashing
though?.. that's not good. I'll try and work on that. It<BR>runs for hours on
Linux without problems (that's the machine I have with<BR>the most disk space so
it's where I record our meetings).<BR>
Something about Windows or windows-specific code, or GTK under Windows

AGVCR<BR>><BR>><BR>> Hi
Phillip,<BR>><BR>> I was
able to recreate the problem on a windows machine (AGVCR<BR>>
appeared<BR>> to lock up after 16 minutes), and it was running GTK 2.6.10 as
a<BR>> runtime. I then removed GTK 2.6 and installed GTK 2.8.9 (the
latest<BR>> available Windows installer) and re-tried the test in the same
venue<BR>> (Venue Client didn't even get shut down between tests) and AGVCR
has<BR>> been running fine for over 45 minutes and still going as I write
this<BR>> email, so I would suggest trying GTK 2.8.9 to see if it helps you
too.<BR>> I think I will need
to update the Windows GTK runtime to 2.8 and<BR>> possibly put a note on the
website. Given the apparent GTK bug with<BR>> AGVCR running on GTK 2.6 I may
even move to compiling the Windows build<BR>> against 2.8 to make it
'compulsory' to use
2.8.<BR>><BR>>
