Crashes on win7

[hasnogaems]

On win 10 though its working from browser, not on win7, just blackscreen, and
video-compare.exe h264.mp4 h265.mp4
from cmd results in crash

Thanks for reporting this.

Windows 7 is not a priority for now. I'm leaving this issue open so it's clear that this is a known issue.

Also the crash app on Win10. Maybe because the CPU does not support AVX?

Yeah, I enabled AVX2 optimizations in the latest release for Windows 10. Please try an older build.

Yeah, I enabled AVX2 optimizations in the latest release for Windows 10. Please try an older build.

Unfortunately, on my XeonX5680 all releases crash. On Core i5 11 gen. works fine.

OK, I'm sorry to hear that.

Thanks for sharing the information and CPU-Z screenshots. To be honest I'm really puzzled why older versions of video-compare also crash on your Xeon.

Hey @pysh,

I've just released a new version (20220816) compiled to use good old trusty AVX. Does it work on your XeonX5680 perhaps?

[pysh]

Hi @jonfryd! The app is also crashing, I've tried the last few builds. Old Xeon does not support either AVX2 or AVX ;-( Thanks for trying.

[jonfryd]

All right, it was worth a try!

Video-compare stop working on win7 after some change on ffmpeg 7.0.1

Just for reference as is not officially supported, the issue can be easily solved placing two dlls inside video-compare folder. Those dlls are available on file mingw-11.2.0.7z located at this link

Cool bit of knowledge sharing, @pldavid2. Thanks!
