"EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" thrown when reading a video from a file with xuggler

I am writing java code to take in a video file in mp4 format, apply an effect to it, and then save it into a new file. The code should split the given video into its frames and store them in an array so they can each be used to build the effect. This part of the code is handled by xuggler, so It's difficult for me to identify whats going wrong.

The problem is, before even reading one image of the video an error is thrown back and I have no idea what it's referring to, and extensive googling tells me its something to do with a memory access error.

The even weirder part is that it only happens for some mp4 files, even though they are all mp4 format and should all behave the same way.

I have tried many different mp4 files from different sources and some of them work, some don't, seemingly at random. The mp4 that I am most interested in applying the effect to is one of the ones that doesn't work.

In the following code, I have identified using print statements at various points, that the part of the code causing the error is somewhere within the IMediaListener with variable name media. The listener itself is called by the line while(reader.readPacket()==null); inside of the ActionListener, specifically in the section triggered by pressing the 'sub' button. This is the only place that it is called.

I should note that all of the code associated with xuggler is not my own, as I found it in code demos online. I won't pretend to understand how xuggler works.

                fc.setMultiSelectionEnabled(false);
                fc.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_ONLY);
                fc.setFileFilter(new FileNameExtensionFilter("mp4 file","mp4"));
                fc.setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed(false);
                if(fc.showOpenDialog(sub)==JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)input.setText(fc.getSelectedFile().getAbsolutePath());
            }
            if(e.getSource()==b2) {
                JFileChooser fc=new JFileChooser();
                fc.setMultiSelectionEnabled(false);
                fc.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);

            }
        }
    };
}

For a given mp4 that works, the code will finish applying the effect, and then print 'finished' so I know to go and check the output folder, which can be specified in the GUI that initially appears.

For a given mp4 that doesn't work, the following error message is printed into the console, exactly as follows:

the log file it refers to contains a mass of complicated information that I can't understand, talking about register locations and VM's etc.. thing's I won't pretend to understand.

Any help is extremely appreciated!
