What are swscale-lav-4.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library swscale-lav-4.dll Errors

swscale-lav-4.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like swscale-lav-4.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like MpSigStub.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Free AVI Player) could share the same swscale-lav-4.dll file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.

Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DLL file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when swscale-lav-4.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Free AVI Player is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common swscale-lav-4.dll errors include:

Your swscale-lav-4.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Free AVI Player), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, swscale-lav-4.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Free AVI Player, system crash while loading swscale-lav-4.dll, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.



How to Fix swscale-lav-4.dll Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your swscale-lav-4.dll issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.

Download swscale-lav-4.dll Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying swscale-lav-4.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. Media Freeware typically does not release Free AVI Player DLL files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing swscale-lav-4.dll and all other DLL files for Free AVI Player.
