Yeah, add me onto the pile, too. I'm getting the same message. The
browser isn't
crashing, it just gives me that error message.

When I open the browser, the message comes up SEVEN times.

When I open a new tab? Error message again, for each tab.

If I use the scroll wheel to click a link and open it in a new tab, the
error does
not come up. If I left click, the error does not come up. If I right
click a link
to enter its context menu, then click "open in new tab", the error message
comes up.

What's causing this??

I have the same issue. Running Windows 7 Ultimate, Chrome 5.0.335.0 dev.
Just
started happening for me today. Googling looks to bring up the method call
from
FFMPEG shown below.

http://cekirdek.pardus.org.tr/~ismail/ffmpeg-docs/avcodec_8h.html

[quote]
enum PixelFormat av_get_pix_fmt ( const char * name )
Returns the pixel format corresponding to name.

If there is no pixel format with name name, then looks for a pixel format
with the
name corresponding to the native endian format of name. For example in a
little-
endian system, first looks for "gray16", then for "gray16le".

Finally if no pixel format has been found, returns PIX_FMT_NONE.

FIXED - I fixed my issue. The error message I was getting about
av_get_pix_fmt had a
file name of avutil-50.dll included in it. I did a search and found three
of them on
my computer.

One in C:\Windows,
C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\5.0.335.0, and
C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\5.0.322.2. I
moved the
one in the C:\Windows folder to a temp folder on my desktop and the error
went away.
I now deleted that file and all works well and the error is no more.

I would just try moving it before deleting it permanantly.

Tim, I'm not sure deleting dll files from C:\Windows is the best idea in
general. You
may break something else. Then again I'm not any kind of Windows expert so
I could be
way off. Either way, that would definitely be classified as a "workaround"

was working fine until the last update.
I deleted the avutil-50.dll from the C:\Windows\ directory (I didn't have

This error is definitely caused by the avutil-50.dll that ElectricSheep
puts in the
C:\Windows directory. This has not been an issue in the past. I have been
using
these two programs for months. Google must have updated something that
changed where
it looks for the file.

I tried copying the Google avutil-50.dll from
{C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\5.0.335.1} to
C:\Windows
and Chrome worked fine but ElectricSheep Crashed and closed. I even updated
ElectricSheep to try to get a new version of the file and it did not help.

I wonder when Google will look into this. These two programs used to play
nice, and
ElectricSheep hasn't updated anything on this front.

Note: This is not an issue specific to Electric Sheep. avutil-50.dll is a
library included
with FFMPEG, a cross-platform library for audio/video manipulation.
Numerous
applications utilize FFMPEG, and chances are your Win box is currently
using an older
version of avutil that does not contain "av_get_pix_fmt". Comment #62 is a
solution for
users who do not have Electric Sheep installed. Possibly updating your
Windows PATH
environment variable to point to the Chromium folder where avutil-50.dll
resides could
be a temporary fix as well.

Updating Electric sheep didn't fix it, I attribute that to the odd mishmash
of video
editing and video utilities I've got installed but copying the dll as per
#62 did
workaround the problem.
The DLL was not already in system32 and the system bluescreened as soon as
I put it in
there but everything was peachy upon reboot. The downside is that if
chrome ever needs
a newer version I'll have to remember this and do it again.

I've been having this issue since the 5.--- builds started coming out.
Currently
using a 4. something build of chrome. I am presently upgrading from
Sheep .23 to .26.
Hoping that fixes it.

The .dll in question is noted by the sheep as used by ffmpeg, so I assume
having
certain video players running, or running a quick booter could also cause
the error.
Just my 2 cents, thanks for the help.

chromeplus does not start on winXP SP1, but "my" entry point isn´t in

It worked all the time before and suddenly does not start. I reinstalled
chromeplus
from the old downloaded file from dec. 2009 version 1.3.2.0. It worked, but
after
closing and restarting the systhem it doesn´t start again. I´m just a
PC-user without
knowledge, but for me seems to be a bug in an update from chrome. If I
reinstall
chrome again, it works as long as I close it. So I have to reinstall it
again and
again every time I like to use it. I turned back to Firefox, but i liked
chrome more.
Firefox slows down with the same extensions. That sucks...... -> See Error

For users of Electric Sheep, you need to *uninstall* your current version
of Electric Sheep (to
remove Electric Sheep's copy of avutil-50.dll) and reinstall the *latest*
version.

For other users that don't have Electric Sheep, you probably still have a
copy of avutil-50.dll in
your C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 directory which is not as up to date
as the avutil-50.dll
that is in Chrome\Application\5.0.375.55 directory. However, the older
avutil-50.dll in
C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 will take precedence over the version in
Chrome's directory but
the older version does not provide the necessary function for Chrome to
run, causing this error.

Users have reported that deleting any avutil-50.dll from C:\Windows or
C:\Windows\System32 or
copying Chrome's avutil-50.dll into those directories solves the issue, but
this may cause
problems with other software, as it is unknown which other programs may
have installed or depend
on any already existing avutil-50.dll that may be there. This is not
necessarily a recommended
procedure, but just a summary of the previous comments.

Problem solved...Windows XP SP3 here. Started seeing the Chrome error mssg
today.
Found two copies of avutil-50.dll: one in Chrome's folder and one in
C:/Windows.
Tried copying, moving, etc the avutil-50.dll, and only succeeded in
crashing electric
sheep (bigtime!) if it did not find its version in C: Windows, and Chrome
would
continue to glitch or crash unless it found its own copy in the Chrome
folder.

However, I *did solve the problem* by 1) uninstalling Electric Sheep
(thankfully, it
does not kill your flock), 2) reinstalling Chrome (don't know if that was
really
necessary, but it only took a couple minutes), and downloading and
re-installing
Electric Sheep (http://community.electricsheep.org/download).

So far, all is well. Now, there's only ONE COPY of avutil-50.dll on my hard
drive--
the one Chrome installed in "C:\Documents and Settings\%user%\Local
Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\5.0.375.55\".

Hope this helps someone else. This was a rather painless solution, compared
to other
troubleshooting efforts I've had to go through for other vendor products
(e.g., MS!).
No need to point fingers to blame. Just solve the problem and get back to
work!

Thanks for all the input and suggestions. Have a good holiday weekend
everyone!

Hi, I have the same problem. I uninstalled Electric Sheep, which seemed to
fix the
problem. However, I decided to reinstall Google Chrome, since I was having
another
problem with it. Since doing that, it seems the original problem has come
back, even
though I no longer have Electric Sheep installed. My second problem is also
still
present (one particular websites produces 'aw snap' message before fully
loading,
but it fine on other browsers.

Both these problems have only arisen since I updated to the latest version
of Chrome
(5.0.375.55). Think I might use Opera instead now.

I ran process explorer while the error message was up, did a search for open

opened by
chrome.exe Way better than trying to guess where windows is loading the dll
from. I
wonder if windows programs can specifically ask to use their own dll's.

Instead of just copying avutil-50.dll I also copied avformat-52.dll and
avcodec-52.dll
into the directory. Maybe the dlls should get renamed to
chrome-avutil-50.dll etc,
would that work?

I have a workaround that fixes Google Chrome without requiring Electric
Sheep to be
uninstalled or unusable.

I went to C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application
Data\Google\Chrome\Application

Inside there I went into the folder with the most recent version (in my case
5.0.375.55) and copied avutil-50.dll from that folder, and placed it into
the parent
folder (alongside chrome.exe).

Now it will locally find the correct dll. HOWEVER, this probably means that
each time
a new chrome update is (silently) pushed, the most recent DLL may need to
be moved.

this causes the file not to work anymore, but I don't find any problems

I encountered this issue a few days ago without having

other that an MS update (Windows Defender only). A little research showed
me that
the problem might be linked to Electric Sheep, which I do have installed.
So I went
to the site, installed the latest release (Windows 2.7b27).

I did this over the top of my existing install. Afterwards, I opened
Chrome and
still got the error. A little more investigation showed 2 version of ES
now on my
computer. I uninstalled the old version and *bingo*, problem solved.

No reboot was needed for me.

Comment #170 on issue 35857 by darynbee: chrome.exe - Entry Point Not Found

The procedure entry point av_get_pix_fmt could not be located in the
dynamic link library avutil-50.dll
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=35857

I copied the avutil-50.dll from the google application directory to the
C:\Windows folder. No more trouble :> When I did a search for
avutil-50.dll and found a copy in the c:\Windows folder I got suspicious.
It turns out the version of the file in C:\Windows was older than the
version in the Google folder.
