Help: I have transferred a number of .MOV files from my Olympus camera. I can
play the videos via a number of readers/players. However when I view the
files via explorer, Vista file system or my Olympus master software, the hard
drive churns away and 'program not responding appears'. It appears as if the
system is trying to individually read each movie before its displayed.
Photographic images without .MOV files within these directories appear
immediately (I have indexing turned off). Eventually each .MOV thumbnail
appears but this can take 20+ minutes if there are several movies in the
folder. Removing QuickTime from my machine resolves the problem completely
but then I am unable to view my movies. I have a installed the recent VISTA
patches but this does not address the problem. FYI I have a DELL Core Duo
6600 with 4gb of RAM and a 320 mb NVIDIA card. Any help much appreciated.
