I'm wondering if someone else can verify this. Recently I've been getting very strange issues with windows messenger after dealing with divx/dvd video files. For example this morning I opened an MPEG file I made for a dvd i'm working on and watched it in PowerDVD. It worked fine and flawlessly but then the system all of a sudden started getting horrendiously slow and finaly crawled to a halt.

I checked the system processes and msmsgs.exe (Windows Messenger 4.7) was running at 100% CPU usage nonstop. This had happened several days ago when I was using TMPGENc to encode a video and messenger again went to 100% cpu usage.

I'm using 2.59 of TMPGENc if that makes any difference and 4.7.0105 of messenger. Has anyone else gotten or experienced this problem??
