FFDSHOW Crash Help

[ultraballs]

Hi guys, I have a general error question.

Im trying to view some olympics streams provided by our local network, they are .asx streams which i read are windows media streams. Anyway when i open up the page (here - http://tvnz.co.nz/content/olympics_live_video) the page starts to open, I can see that it loads up windows media player and then on my system tray the ffdshow video decoder logo comes up , which I assume means that its trying to open the stream with ffdshow through WMP. This is where the error comes up, as soon as the ffdshow logo appears, firefox (and IE, i tried both) has a crashes and tells me it needs to shut down. In the error report it says that its had a problem with "libmplayer.dll".

My question is - is there a way i can dissasociate ffdshow from opening the streams on the quoted page and just have wmp open them? I cant seem to work it out, any help would be appreciated, will answer any quesitons you may have too.

ffdshow is attempting to decode the incoming stream. To disable it, go to "Video decoder configuration" under ffdshow on your start menu.

Uninstall ffdshow or disable ffdshow for wmv under start->all programs->ffdshow->ffdshow video decoder configuration(or click on the ffdshow icon while playing a video) and under codecs choose wmv2->disabled, wmv3->disabled and also raw video->disabled.

Or it could also be the audio so then start->all programs->ffdshow->ffdshow audio decoder configuration(or click on the ffdshow icon while playing a video) and under codecs choose wma7->disabled, wma8/9->disabled.
