Since 7.2.3, I am unable to compile my Windows standalone application with camera input. [jit.grab] is disabled and the console gives 2 errors: 'jit.grab: could not load viddll video engine' and 'jit.grab: could not allocate object'. I have checked to confirm that viddll is installed (it is), and everything else is configured correctly. I am running Windows 10 v1511, and have tried compiling with both the 32 and 64 bit versions of Max, as well as reinstalling Max.

As a dummy test I tried compiling the jit.grab help file into an application, and get the same error.

Anyone having the same issue or know how to correct it??

Hmm, I had hoped 7.2.4 would resolve it but the issue persists for me. But, if it worked for you, maybe it is something with my install or setup. It's worth mentioning, I am compiling on Windows 10 running on a Boot Camp partition on a MacBook Pro. I don't have access to a true Windows machine at the moment, but in the past I have had no problems compiling with my setup.

So maybe you have to check your viddll version .

On my side i found 2 differents versions of VIDDLL .

1. Program Files (x86) / Cycling 74/ Max 7 / resources/ packages/VIDLL

So maybe you have to check  your viddll version .

i tried to make a standalone only with a "jit.grab @engine viddll" and i have the same issue :

"jit.grab: could not load viddll video engine’ and ‘jit.grab: could not allocate object’"

i tried to make a standalone with "jit.grab @engine viddll" and "jit.movie @engine viddll" in the same patch and it works !

Maybe the "jit.movie @engine viddll" help to initialize the viddll engine ...

No error messages !

So I got it working, just by manually copying the VIDDLL package from the Max directory (Program Files/Cycling '74/resources/packages/VIDDLL) to the compiled standalone (~/resources/packages/VIDDLL). Once there it worked fine.

 post, v 7.2.3 was supposed to have fixed it so VIDDLL is properly located and included in standalones:

However, based on this post, v 7.2.3 was supposed to have fixed it so VIDDLL is properly located and included in standalones:

FIXED BUGS: • VIDDLL: properly found and used when included in standalone

hey guys, thanks for the testing and feedback.

i'm aware of this issue and will work on sorting it out of the next update.
