Thanks Pascal for the help,
The issue is on Win 8.* (i have no yet upgrade to 8.1..)

Even better news: I updated our GTK/Glib bundle to 2.24.23/2.42 (the latest version found on OBS) and my win64 build on Windows 8.1 does not crash anymore at startup or when using Alexis' capture.
I will upload the package tomorrow.
