Avi + Explorer problem - XP

When I enter a folder which has a certain movie that it's in 2 segments, explorer crashes. I can only view from inside a program when I'm gonna choose it, or from run. Even if I join the files, it crashes. The files do work well. Doesn't matter what folder I put the video in, it crashes. Do I have to get a program to repair it or edit it?

    You dont happen to have all the details listed in the thread. Like size, resolution, bitrate and stuff showing up in the folder do you? I know that takes all my cycles when I had that on once. And the info could be wrong or something if you split it.

    This may not be relevant, but I on occasion have also had problems with explorer crashing, in my case when it tries to display a thumbnail preview of a movie file. I found it only did this when I didn't have the necessary codec installed for it to run. Once I installed the codec for it, it stopped crashing when I opened up the folder it was in.

    No, I have it only displaying the thumbnail although thinking about it, I don't really think I need thumbnails for a movie folder sine I already know what movie they are =/.

    The file already came split.

    Necesarry codecs are installed and I already saw the movie. It only happens with the thumbnail. I would refresh the thumbnail but it crashes when selecting it :(

    Does it crash it the folder was ina different mode, like just a list of files or small pic of file type/ext.

    Nope. Only in thumbnail view.

    Try deleting the thumb.ini (or whatever it is) to refresh it. You'll need to change the folder settings so you can view the system files so you can see it.

    I can't think what else it could be.

    It doesn't even get to create the thumbnail.

    Fixed it. Had to use a diffrent build of the codec (XviD).

    Hello,
    Sorry for my bad english i'm from switzerland

    Windows XP want get info from .avi and if u have a lot of .avi it take several time to analyse and if ur .avi are corrupted or incomplete(because download with e-mule or another p2p) a lot of time.

    go to regedit HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.avi\shellex\PropertyHandler\
    Delete the default key and it's OK.

    U loose some info but u know how long lasts your film and if is a divx or xvid no ?

    Hey i have a solution to your problem, i was experiencing the same problem
    Explorer seems to have trouble generating an image for the avi files so what i had to do was just make a REGistry change and that seems to have solved internet explorer from crashing.

    simply make a text file and enter

    REGSVR32 /U SHMEDIA.DLL


    in it and then rename it to filename.bat
    when u run that file it should take care of it for you.
