FLV thumbnails crash explorer in Vista

[snathi]

Has anyone run into a problem trying to view thumbnails of flv files?

Typically I put flv files in the same directory as the original media it was converted from (mpg, avi etc.). Every time I scroll through those directories, Explorer crashes then restarts.

I know the problem is associated with the flv's because if I go into the directory through a DOS window, and rename all the .flv extensions to .vlf then I can scroll through the directory without Explorer dropping dead.

Here are the dumps I get in Event Viewer:

Faulting application Explorer.EXE, version 6.0.6000.16386, time stamp 0x4549b091, faulting module FLVSplitter.ax, version 1.0.0.2, time stamp 0x46dc1435, exception code 0xc000000d, fault offset 0x0001c6f2, process id 0xebc, application start time 0x01c7f1a34d14e0af.

Anybody have an idea whats causing flv files to trash Explorer?

Thanks!

maybe be related to the flv codec you have. are you using some codec pack? try uninstalling it. also you can check eltima software, they have a progam for viewing flv thumbnails in explorer (a codec splitter maybe)

[cluberti]

The error code says explorer is crashing because of a bad or invalid parameter passed to it by flvsplitter.ax (that's what the c000000d status code means), but without an adplus dump of explorer.exe of it occurring we cannot tell you more.
