Showsqueeze failure report has the wrong date

[stevehiner]

I tried to force a showsqueeze of a file and it failed. Not sure why it failed but the date in the failure report is WAY off. Looks like the date was never set in code and it defaulted to the minimum date.

I'm pretty sure I didn't start it in 1600.

I would have reported this on the beta site but it looks like you've shut it down. That concerns me considering that I still have an outstanding bug that locks up my machine. Also, the official support request form requires too much info and I don't feel like gathering it right now for a bug that I know has nothing to do with most of the info.

Oh, not sure why it failed but here's the log entry. Not very helpful but I'll include it just in case...

i am having the same problem, it works fine converting mpg to wmv but does the same thing yours does converting divx to wmv. help anyone

fixed it, go to free-codecs.com and download ffdshow MPEG-4 codec pack. it fixed my problem for showsqueeze, i have had one freeze however since i installed that, don't know if it was the codec pack or just the computer (the computer has had random lockups before but they haven't happened for a while)

Thank you so much! I've tried all the other tricks I've read. I've uninstalled WMP11 and reinstalled BTV w/ no luck. But the codec trick worked! Are you using WMP11?
