Hello, Yes. I see the same problem. GStreamer Windows binary can't play XVID video files on Windows XP. It always crashes a few minutes later. (The crash point is not deterministic though.) However, the same binary seems to work well in Windows Vista.  I also compiled gstreamer and all of its dependent libraries including glib using mingw. But it still crashes showing the same symtoms. I also changed XVID decoder from ffmpeg to xvid, but it still crashed. Any idea? <div>2008/1/9, Marko Mikkonen <<a href="mailto:mmikkone@mail.student.oulu.fi">mmikkone@mail.student.oulu.fi</a>>:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hello, Oh my gawd! I must have had something wrong in the path the previous time I tried that command, because now it worked! But there's still one problem. The video file I try to play, plays for a few seconds and then an exception occurs in the program and it hangs. The video in the file is XviD coded (GSpot gives a version XviD 1.1.0 Final) and sound is MPEG-1 Layer 3. Container format is avi.
