theora - Jul 2010 - Possible interference between two directshow encoder/mux instances

I have an application written in c# which uses two instances of the
theora encoder in a single filtergraph. Each one is followed by an ogg
multiplexer for output to separate files.  When I run the filtergraph
the smaller video's buffer is intermittently written to the start of the
larger video's buffer.  I am using the latest filters from
opencodecs_0.84.17338.exe and the smaller video is coming from separate
preview filtergraph via a GMFBridge component that connects the
preview/render graphs.  There are currently no clear indications as to
where the interference is occurring but a previous version using wmv
encoders did not exhibit this problem so it seems possible that it lies
in the encoder/mux.  Is it possible that the encoder instances are
sharing memory that they should not be?

 

Thanks,

Andy

Hi Andy,

I have made a test OpenCodecs version which has a fix in the encoder
(removed a static buffer) Please tell me how this version works for you.

You can download the software from:
http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/oggdsf/opencodecs_0.84.17347.exe

Cheers,
Cristian.
