It worked for me for about a week, then out of the blue, it just stopped working. I tried using a different version of ffmpeg and it still isnt working. Ill click on a movie and then "Automatically make screenshots" and then it gets stuck at "Creating screenshots for: ". Or if i use the automatic scan and it tried to make screenshots from there it get stuck. I cant click Cancel and i have to close PVD from Task Manager. I have version 0.9.9.21 and i have Windows 7 Ultimate.

Welcome to the forum.
When I (and others) have seen this, we find one or more instances of ffmpeg running in Task Manager. Killing them all frees up PVD. I don't know what the cause is or how to fix it.
Just so we might learn more...
- Do you see the same thing in Task Manager?
- If so, does PVD respond after they're killed?
- Does the same thing happen when you run the screenshot maker again?
I haven't had the problem for quite some time. FWIW, I'm using FFmpeg git-6c4e9ca 64-bit Static (Latest) (http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win64/static/ffmpeg-git-6c4e9ca-win64-static.7z). You would need FFmpeg git-6c4e9ca 32-bit Static (Latest) (http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win32/static/ffmpeg-git-6c4e9ca-win32-static.7z) if using Windows 7 x32. From the readme...
This is a FFmpeg Win64 static build by Kyle Schwarz.

Downloaded that and changed the directory in setting in PVD, reran screenshot maker and same results, but now found out that if i kill ffmpeg in task manager, pvd unfreezes. Im going to try to uninstall and reinstall pvd and see if that helps.
