Sorry, it's q9300 but I guess that doesn't really matter.

Closed duplicate report:

I have a large amount of issues with theora. Including the one described. Gave up trying to get it to work. SVN build.
GDB just says: 0x00007ffff3fda749 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libtheoraenc.so.1

- Ubuntu64bit
- Also if hitting "Escape" on an animation being rendered also sometimes causes crash with Theora (When it randomly decides to work), and when it does work, it crashes before it writes the final frame.

I can not redo this bug. Animation is rendered correctly with Ogg Theora select.

Also, no crash occurs pressing ESC key while animation is rendering.

System
OpenSuse 11.3 (32bits)
Nvidia 8800GT
AMD Phenom II X3 720

Build
Rev 31292 self-build

Julian, can you please verify with a recent build if this is still a problem? With current trunk on Windows no problem.

If within a few days there are no negative comments I assume that comment from Jorge holds still and mark as fixed.

Just tested it again, Blender doesn't crash anymore, that's true.

It doesn't render either, the console says
"Starting output to /tmp/0001_0250.ogg(ffmpeg)...
Using type=10, codec=31, audio_codec=0,
video_bitrate=6000, audio_bitrate=0,
gop_size=18, autosplit=0
render width=960, render height=540
alloc video stream (nil)
Closing ffmpeg..."
and Blender displays
"Error initializing video stream"
but it doesn't crash anymore, so I guess this is content for a different bugreport.

For further investigation, assigning to our sequencer/ffmpeg guru.

Hmm, I'm starting to think this is a bug in the version you're using FFMPEG. Some days ago I updated the FFMPEG libs on Windows to the one from April 22nd 2010, and since then this all works. as should - it appears fixes were made to the theora/ogg code. Before crashes could happen if there were 'wrong' sizes (though theora supports arbitrary sized streams).

Please update your FFMPEG libs to something recent.
