Vista - AVI Files Crash Vista Home Premium to Blue Screen

I have a brand new Dell XPS 410, 4GB Ram, 2.8mHz Dual Processor, 1.5TB Raid 0
running MS VISTA Home Premium which I purchased specifically for Digital
Video and Photo Editing as a Graphic Workstation (have identical machine four
years old under WIN XP SP2).

Whenever I attempt to import an AVI digital movie file via FireWire from my
Sony camrecorder to MS Movie Maker 6 or Adobe Premiere 3.0.2, it immediately
crashes to the Blue Screen.

In addition, if I import an AVI file into the machine from my other XP
machine via USB Flash Stick and try to playback the AVI file in either MS
Movie Maker 6 or Adobe Premiere 3.0.2, oe MS Media Player 11, or Apple
QuickTime 7.15 Pro, or Roxio Creator 9, the VISTA OS immediately crashes
into the Blue Screen.

I have clean re-installed VISTA Home Premium four times on this machine
since I got it four weeks ago and I have not yet been able to operate it as a
Digital Graphics Workstation for one minute, all of last month has been
wasted attempting to download, open, or view my first AVI file?

Anyone else have problems with MS Movie Maker 6, MS Media Player 11, Apple
QuickTime, Adobe Premiere3.0.2, Roxio Creato 9r, etc. with AVI files?

I just got the xps 410 as well and i can't play avi files either! i get the
same exact blue screen error message. i just got off the phone with a dell
tech. after trying for over a good hour to fix this... does anyone out there
have any ideas on how to fix this?

I have been working on this for six weeks now with zero success...

Unable to use any of my digital camrecorders via the FireWire Port -
immediately crashes.....

Unable to view an AVI file in any software program supplied OEM by Microsoft
without the BSOD....

Unable to view a DVD in the OEM DVD player software without crashing to the
Blue Screen.

I have talked to Dell Hardware Techs and downloaded every CODEC know to man
to no avail.

I purchase this computer as a Digital Video-Photography Graphics Workstation
as I have an identical setup running XP SP2 Media Edition 2005 that has
worked perfectly for years.

NONE of my software or tens of thousands of dollars of video hardware works
under VISTA HOME PREMIUM.

VISTA has crashed to the Blue Screen over 250 times in one month, every
error send to Microsoft Error Reporting has no answer, unreplies.

Computer is virtually worthless running Vista.

Here are my latest results on the inability of VISTA to handle AVI files:


Successfully re-installed VISTA again for the third time.

After the install I hooked up my Sony Handycam HC42 miniDV camcorder to the
FireWire port to import raw AVI video from the camera into Windows Movie
Maker 6. The computer crashed into the blue screen after about 5 seconds of
downloading the video.....

Next, I imported an AVI file from my Win XP machine on my Flash Memory Stick
into Windows Movie Maker 6.0 and tried to play the video and it crashed into
the blue screen after about 10 seconds.....

Next, I tried to play the AVI movie file in Windows Media Player 11 and it
crashed into the blue screen in about 10 seconds.....

Next, I imported the AVI movie file into Windows DVD maker and tried to
preview the movie and it crashed into the blue screen in about 10 seconds.....

Next I reloaded the AVI file into Windows DVD maker and tried to make a DVD
without previewing the movie and it crashed into the blue screen in 10
seconds.

Next, I tried to play a commercial DVD movie and it crashed into the blue
screen....

Next I loaded the Vista compatible Adobe Premiere 3.0.2 Video Editor
software into the Dell XPS and tried to import an AVI file and play it and it
crashed in about 10 seconds.

Next I loaded the Vista compatible Roxio Media Creator 9.0 into the Dell XPS
and tried to import an AVI movie file and play it and it crashed immediately.

Next I loaded a commerial DVD film from NetFlix into Windows Media Player
running under Intel Viiv to view the movie and crashed to the Blue Screen of
Death in 5 seeconds....

Good luck try to do any Digital Video work using MS VISTA.

Trying to get this to work after the fourth fresh clean install of VISTA Home
Premium OS...


I downloaded the codec 6.5.1 and installed just the Divx Codec and it still
crashes whenever I attempt to import or play any AVI file, including when I
tried it from the Windows Media Center Intel Viiv too.

Here is the error that I have gotten over 250 times on this Dell 410 under
Vista when I try to view, edit, or play back an AVI file or attempt to play
or create a DVD:

That could be your problem, installing every codec known to man. If you like
watching Video you have to not install codecs. You most likely have many
codecs that do the same thing.

My rule of thumb is don't install later versions of Nero. Sending your error
reports votes on what to fix next. You have voted 250 times for someone at
MS to look at this. One time you may get a message back telling you it is
now fixed and to get a patch. Can't rule out Video or Audio drivers either.

I don't see any error message in this thread. There are some things one can
do but where is the exact error message.

You can try talking to oca.microsoft.com. I presume they do Vista as well as
2000 and XP (last I visited the site hadn't been updated for Vista's
release.

You can try running the dump file through a debugger.

You can try looking up the error message.

You can try Driver Verifier.

Have you thought it could be faulty hardware, ram for instance?
Why not send it back to Dell as faulty.
You bought it as a video editing station if it doesn't work straight out of
the box, without you adding any third party apps, then I would really think
something is wrong.

PS raw video files are very large, try capturing as dv-avi which is what a
standard digital camcorder records to it's tape.

I've done all the hardware checks for hard disk error, memory error, etc. and
there is no problems with any of the OEM hardware.

Also, I am using Sony Handycams HCR-42 and HCR-96 mini DV camrecorders which
both output DV-AVI files. This has worked perfectly for years in MS WIN XP
SP2 Media Editon without any problems whatsoever, but now under VISTA
suddenly none of my hardware or software is able to function at all???

This is too much, tens of thousands of dollars in time, equipment, hardware,
software, etc. invested in Digital Desktop Video Graphics Workstation and now
AVI is not supported in VISTA?????

Did you upload at OCA, Did you send a problem report to MS, Have you thought
what codecs you have installed as other products. Did you look Help -
About - Technical Infomation in Media Player.

Did you look up the error message in the DDK (Device Driver Kit - I gave
you a nearby link). I don't have DDK installed else I'd look it up.

Did you try Verifier (type it in Start Run). This is strict error checking
for drivers (so drivers are slow). However it may catch errors before they
are otherwise caught and give you a module name.

If not, try it and if it blue screens (with verifier ON) create a minidump
file and send it to me. I have an MS program that can analyse some problems.

Note: Verifier catches problems and BLUE SCREENS. Therefore drivers which
are faulty, but you haven't run across the fault yet, may blue screen
straight away preventing boot. Therefore review how to boot your computer
with last known good configuration (which will disable Verifier).

Have you made sure your video, audio drivers are up to date, and if they are
can you try an older versions. What about these toys. Do they have drivers?
Did they install software?

What had you installed, updated just prior to this occuring. Review Event
logs, Windows Update logs, Problem Reports and Solutions in Control Panel
(get the time of first crash).

But what crap codecs have you installed. Sony's? Nero? WinDVD? Power DVD? TV
Tuner?
