What are ScriptPortal.MediaSoftware.ExternalVideoDevice.dll Error Messages?

Dynamic Link Library ScriptPortal.MediaSoftware.ExternalVideoDevice.dll Errors

ScriptPortal.MediaSoftware.ExternalVideoDevice.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like ScriptPortal.MediaSoftware.ExternalVideoDevice.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. Vegas Pro 16) could share the same ScriptPortal.MediaSoftware.ExternalVideoDevice.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 ScriptPortal.MediaSoftware.ExternalVideoDevice.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Vegas Pro 16 is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common ScriptPortal.MediaSoftware.ExternalVideoDevice.dll errors include:

• Access Violation at address - ScriptPortal.MediaSoftware.ExternalVideoDevice.dll.
• ScriptPortal.MediaSoftware.ExternalVideoDevice.dll could not be found.
• Cannot find C:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 16.0\ScriptPortal.MediaSoftware.ExternalVideoDevice.dll.
