Guest TheMooseArmy Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 I’ve recently had problems with accessing DV and/or probably MPEG-Files (The special .mod format used by JVC DVD-Camcorders) either by Windows, or by Vegas 8. When I’m loading my project file with Vegas, it will freeze and then immediately reboot when it is accessing the video files (only DV files, but there are MPEG-files in the same folder; I’ve had problems working with those before). The reboot cannot be prevented. If I had opened the folder with Windows Explorer, it did the same – freeze and restart. Just after de-Installing MainConcept DV Codec, I could go and see the files; but trying to play one would result in a restart again. Then I installed Panasonic DV Codec, and I couldn’t even open the folder like before. My computer also always restarts when I try to install Windows Media Player 11 (I had downgraded to version 9 before, now I need 11 for my mp3-player). So I tried in safe mode – it worked – till it told me, AT THE END of the installation, I need Media Player 10 to install this. BUT, Windows Media Player 10 tells me, 11 IS installed; and my software panel started to restart as well, since the installation. So…I’m very lost…. I hope you can help me! Thanks already for reading this… Additional Info My Windows is a “tuned” XP with slipstreamed SP3 by RegCheck, since my old --original-- (yes, I have a license) Windows had been pretty defective. Everything worked fine before I started working with those MPEG-Mod-Files and did something wrong, obviously. There is an Elecard VFW MPEG codec installed. FFDShow is installed, too. (Doesn’t matter if set to "play" or set to "not play" DV Files)

The special video files problem might be better answered by the camera manufacturers (i.e. JVC). -- Allan
