wait ....
something happened

i just connected the SX 130
fired up the CHDKPTP - meaning to crash it to generate the rom
Pressed Connect
Checked Viewfinder
selected Video_STD from drop down ( the mode dial is on SCN)
Pressed SET on chdkptp (expecting it to crash)

and it didnt
the set menu came up

give me a minute to test the thing further.....
'-----------------------
every other mode crashes the camera
the camera does not crash if the mode dial is on either VIDEO or SCN (by the way it shows SCN_SMART_SHUTTER) in the drop down in ptpcam

now back to creating that romdump...

Only upload the romlogs first, I suspect that CHDK is not directly involved here (it probably left the camera in a confused state). Keep those txt files for a while, in case I'm wrong.

Both are the same kind. As the problem is the mode switch, can you do the following:
- start the camera, switch to record mode
- change the dial to movie mode
- change the dial to something else
- run the script that makes it crash (the one which changes to movie mode and presses a key)
- make a romlog
Hopefully the romlog will include the previous manual mode change too. You only need to do this on one camera.
About the romlogs: as I suspected, it's an indirect crash, those txt files are not needed this time.
Finding a solution may take a while, I hope that others can help with this...

FWIW, I've noted before the func menu gets in a confused state when switching modes from script http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=4338.msg86538#msg86538

Unfortunately, the set_capture_mode command just calls a canon function SetCurrentCaptureMode, so outside of modemap errors, there isn't much room for a bug in the CHDK implementation. The original development thread for this feature is found here http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=3228.0 - some other methods of changing modes were explored before we settled on SetCurrentCaptureMode.
Don't forget what the H stands for.

@reyalp
Thanks for the link. I'm hoping for a romlog here, in which both a proper and a CHDK-style mode switch is present - to compare them.

here is what i did

Camera Off ( it is a SX 130 by the way )
Mode dial is on M
Camera On
Half Press Shutter-Camera is in Rec mode now
Mode dial To VID
Mode dial To M
<ALT>- button press
Full Press Shutter-Run the script setvid.lua with following content
Code: [Select]
require("capmode").set("VIDEO_STD")
sleep(2000)
click("set")
camera switches to Vid mode waits and Crashes

<ALT><MENU><MISC STUFF><DEBUG PARAMETERS><SAVE ROM CRASH LOG>

Here is the ROMLOG

Finding a solution may take a while, I hope that others can help with this...
dont mind - thank you for all the effort - i can do what ever is necessary - even disassemble the camera :) (i know it is not necessary in this case, just letting all you fantastic people know how much i appreciate the whole CHDK as a beautifull piece of art)
