What version? Post the entire log next time and we won't have to ask Smile

Said file works perfectly here.

Cheers,

sorry the entire log was crashing pastebin so i just put the last bit in
should have realised there would be important stuff at the start

this is the complete log (i have removed the lines concerned with scanning the library to get it to fit in a pastebin)

in system info:
version is 8.10 svn unknown compiled 13 of Nov 2008
build is blank

That's quite an old build - I'd try a later one.

this may be a stupid question
where can i get a later build from?

i downloaded this version from the download page only a few days ago
i've googled for windows builds but only found xbox ones
i had a look in the svn but couldnt find any binaries and I'm afraid building my self is beyond me

got the latest build to find videos played with a green screen
found out best way to fix this was playing with interlace options

which did indeed fix it

whilst i was playing with these options also discovered it was the cause of the original problem

'bob' seems to be working fine now
thanks for the help guys
