I have a small (4 minute) mpg clip from an uncopyrighted music video.
It plays OK in WinDVD, and also plays fine after resizing it with
VideoReDo.

I import it into MF4. From the moment I click on the file name, MF4
slows to a crawl - pins the CPU at 100% and grabs about 100MB of RAM.
I checked MF4 with another import and it works just fine. It is this
particular clip that causes it great stress.

After several minutes the import is complete and the first frame shows
up in the preview window on the right. But this first frame does not
show up in the menu box at the bottom left.

Then I invoke Enhanced Video so I can put Text title on the menu
frame. The first frame disappears from the right-side preview window -
all I have now is a blank window. So I put the title in the window
anyway and click OK which once again takes MF4 a very long time to
return to the previous dialog window.

Then I Export the clip which renders it in advance for later use in
final composition. After about 8 minutes it completes the rendering.
But the exported clip is empty when I play it in WinDVD. Also it is
greatly shrunk in size which I suppose explains why it appears empty.
When I try to import it in VideoReDo it says it cannot open it.

What the frell is going on here?
