I have read: "[Main] The support for Windows XP has been dropped"
This is the worst what can happen or you got paid by micro$oft?
The XP OS is still in wide use, so please add back XP support in MeGUI.
At the moment it's a case of "it runs on XP but if it stops working it won't be fixed". MeGUI uses many third party tools and they won't all necessarily keep working on XP when they're updated.
The current version of MeGUI (2634) runs on XP fine, aside from a few bugs which I don't think are peculiar to XP. One exception is the L-Smash indexer. If you've upgraded it and it no longer works, you can replace it with the last known XP-friendly version. LSMASHSource.dll resides in the "MeGUI\tools\lsmash" folder and there's a link to an XP version at the very bottom of this page: http://avisynth.nl/index.php/LSMASHSource

That is correct, thanks. The support has not been dropped in MeGUI itself, but I will not test anymore with XP.
Ticket moved from /p/megui/bugs/839/
I have moved this ticket to the feature requests as it is not a bug.

Newer ffmpeg versions tend to not work on XP, so it's probably best not to update it.
If you have, revert back to the old version if you can, or....
FFmpeg-x86-N-80912-gce466d0

Thats the most recent version I know of that works on XP (July 2016).
I have added an OS check a year ago which will download to XP only the tools which work there. However there will no further support for XP.
