I have an annoying little problem that just started this week. When using Gordian Knot to encode avis, I occasionally use the preview option before hitting "Save & Encode", which plays the avs file in Media Player (very useful for making sure it ain't choppy). However, all of a sudden it no longer works! Instead, WMP will open, the screen will shrink to nothing, and my resource meter shoots to 100% (I have 512Mb RAM, with nothing running at the time, so that's not the issue).
Also, I can no longer play large video captures in Media Player Classic or even WMP (same error occurs). 1Gb vob files play fine, but a 7Gb raw avi file won't work at all (and I know that I've opened raw avi files larger than 80Gb in the past!).
The 7Gb avi does play in PowerDVD, though, but that program is so bulky that I only ever use it for DVDs anyways... I've made no changes to my system, and have restarted it a number of times in the last week. Anyone have any suggestions?
