| | Vista RC1 hangs when opening a folder containing many AVI/MPG file 100% repeatable, if I open any folder that has more than 10-20 avi or mpg files, vista hangs with the hard drive light on. I suspect it's STUPIDLY trying to open each file to display a cute little picture. This makes working with it essentially impossible. Almost a terabyte of video here, and if I try to touch it with vista's explorer, it hangs. Lovely. |

I've seen the same problem when trying to looking at a CD's containing AVI's, if the CD has a CRC error on one of them. It completely hangs Vista, requiring a power off! |

But what can we DO about it? There may well be corrupt files, but that's a pretty poor excuse for not letting me maintain the folder. |

| | Re: Vista RC1 hangs when opening a folder containing many AVI/MPG I noticed this problem as well. For me it turned out to be a messed up FFDShow. After uninstalling all video codecs, I could load directories like that with no problem, although the thumbnail showed the default movie icon. I went out and got updated versions of all the codecs I normally have installed, and now everything is working fine. I am on Vista RC1. |
