Can you post all of the messages printed when you load a film? I also ran into this problem with Quicktime files on Windows, and came up with a 'fix' that stops the crashing by introducing a memory leak. The fact that this happens with AVI indicates the problem might lie outside of the Quicktime code.

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help me on this one.
I am working with DV encoded AVI films loading them into pix_film. Everytime I load a file I get the message "new movie might crash... ...survived". And indeed loading files is extremely unstable. PD does crash aprox 1 out of every 5 times I try to load a film.
Why do I get this message and why does PD crash? Is it because of the DV encoding? Does it say this message for every kind of film?
And, since it does crash, how can I work around this problem so that PD becomes more stable? I keep loosing my work everytime I forget to save before testing. :(
Thanks in advance, Nuno
