I originally had a problem with purple patches coming in and out every 5 seconds and found the solution to change the enviromental settings of the direct show multimedia file reader to 2 and let the others at 0. Now when i try this the purple is gone but the program freezes with only 2 or 3 seconds left of encoding. There is no error message or anything it just stops and there are small vertical green lines at the top of my screen when it freezes. I have to restart my computer and when i do the new file has zero size and there is nothing i can do with it. Am i doing something wrong or is there a way that i can get rid of the purple stuff and not have it crash on me. ( and i don't have the angelpotion codec Installed)
