Re: Codec Hell - lost ability to read Divx/Xvid on windows

ok, this is getting confusing.

If I create a new project and put in one of the videos I'm having trouble with - no problems. Open the older project with the same file, double click that video to show in the source monitor - it crashes.

start new project, open that video again - fine. Import the older project, double click the same video file in the imported project - crash.

start new project, open that video again - fine. Import the older project, right-click and make offline video in imported project. Link to media by selecting the file again. double click. It doesn't crash, but it only shows the audio

I can only conclude there must be something being saved with the project that is causing the problem.
