Reaper 64 and video: crash

[peter5992]

There have been several reports on the (in)compatiblity of Reaper 64 bit with video, but since this related to the newest version, and a new type of error occurs, thought I would post anew.

When importing a video (.mov or quicktime format) in Reaper 64, it crashes, and I get this report:

This is a repeatable bug (ie happens every time).

The workaround is still importing the video in Reaper 32 running as ReWire slave and forced to stay on top with windows 'always on top' program. A little convoluted but that works fine.

I still have major problems with video in Reaper WinXP x64.

Using FFMPEG it loads the movie but the audio is jerky and distorted and the video plays only a frame intermittently (about 1 frame every 6 seconds)
Completely useless!

As I've said before 32-bit works fine

Come-on people ... help me sort this out!
Currently working on a couple of Hollywood movies ... and I NEED this to work.

The ReWire workaround is NOT good enough as I can't scrub with it so I'm wasting a LOT of time fiddling. And render to AVI isn't working.

Is there something wrong with FFMPEG?

ffmpeg has known issues with 64bit. see here http://ffmpeg.arrozcru.org/autobuilds/

also see here: http://roundup.ffmpeg.org/issue1889

hard issue to fix. will take a real ASM ninja to get it working by the looks of things.

I'm having some troubles too, my workaround is to convert to AVI and remove the sound, it works for me, and you can then add the sound as a separate track. It's not a very good solution but it's the only one that seems to work here.

I'm now on Win 7 64-bit ... which also didn't have an FFMPEG build until recently.

But now ... how do I get it to work?
ffmpeg now releases the DLL as 4 dlls named:-
swscale-0.dll
avutil-50.dll
avformat-52.dll
avcodec-52.dll

but there is no ffmpeg.dll ... so Reaper doesn't make use of it!

What should I do???
