VidCoder icon indicating copy to clipboard operation

Vidcoder is causing Windows Explorer (taskbar specifically) to silently crash on every use

Problem Description

The only way I notice this happens is that the clock in the system tray stops running every time I use Vidcoder. Nothing else causes this. I open VidCoder, process a few videos, close it, and then I see that my clock is no longer running and the entire taskbar is non-responsive.

(I will test the latest beta to see if the issue is there)

I caught it happening in event viewer this time:

That is wild. I'm not sure what it could be doing to affect that. And VidCoder works normally, it just freezes the explorer process? I wonder if it's something related to thermal stress. You could try restricting VidCoder to run on fewer cores with Global Options -> Process -> CPU Throttling.

I've actually always run it with that setting on 88%. Vidcoder itself works perfectly normally. No sign of any issues.

Does changing the video codec do anything? I'm wondering if some video card drivers may be involved here.

he probably got some memory problems or something else corrupting his system files cause its not vidcoder
