It may be a DirectShow filter problem.

It may be a DirectShow filter problem.

Well, Jim, I saw that too... but who can tell me how to resolve this please
Just uninstall and reinstall these filters? and how please?

(not to mention, why this suddenly should happen after having seen a lot of movies with a former version of MC without any problem...)

thanks

Here are some possible solutions:

1. Update the filter that caused crash.  Maybe it is too old, has bugs, etc.  I think it was built by Gabest ("MPC Mpeg-2 decoder"?).

2. Do not use it.  Use Microsoft DVD-DTV Video Decoder instead, or FFDShow (making sure you configure FFDShow to decode MPEG-2).
