Though I don't have a video camera on my computer, I decided to try out
running the 3.7-beta20b RTR demos. On all of the demos I tried running, it
crashed right away. When I set use_vidcap=0, the render worked fine (albeit
very slowly on my old, single processor machine). I posted a dump file to
the misc binaries newsgroup at
http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.misc/thread/%3Cweb.4625bd632e5f1f8d6132455f0%40news.povray.org%3E/
I'm using a single Pentium 4 1.3GHz with 256Mb Ram and Windows XP. It
crashed on both the SSE2 and regular win32 versions.

This post from zeroin23 is probably the same error as mine:
http://news.povray.org/povray.beta-test/thread/%3Cweb.45c2dbd0a891d478b0f5bef80%40news.povray.org%3E/
By the way, if you want to contact me, perhaps with information about how to
send the larger 80Mb dump file, my e-mail address is

ZIP it using the highest compression option available. Usualy, dump files can 
compress dramaticaly, possibly around 99+% in some cases. Some other format give 
even more compression, check what format the other can handle.

Even better: get 7-zip, I get much better results than with zip format. If
you have enough RAM, use Ultra mode (uses over 350MB of RAM but sometimes
it's worth it). 7zip can also create .zip files smaller than WinZip,
keeping them compatible with other tools (unlike WinZip 10 "enhanced
deflate" which creates files only readable from WinZip 10). And it's open
source! :)

I une PowerArchiver. Can compress to most formats, and extract from some more.
