Tech question

[littlesammy.livejournal.com]

I'm encountering the weirdest program error. I'm asking this in the vague hope that maybe someone here knows a solution.

I'm using Ulead Video Studio 7 (runs smoother on my machine than Premiere) on Windows. Currently, I'm scene indexing the different chapters from a movie I ripped from DVD, and it works great - except for one chapter / file. If I try to load said chapter, Ulead freezes and dies on the spot. Doesn't matter if I browse folders or drag-'n-drop, Ulead doesn't want that file. I tried it from a different hard drive. I tried renaming it. I tried ripping that chapter again. No luck.

And I don't get it. The chapter files are all equally labeled, no fancy names, they're not write protected, all in the same folder, and said file is neither the smallest nor the biggest of the batch. All more or less the same. Still, one single file refuses loading. WTF?

Any ideas? Anything I can try besides re-coding it into a different format?
