Hello,
I have been using the VLC media player for quite some time now and finally found the frequent crashes unbearable already. After using the player for quite some time, say ~1 hr, the application frequently crashes with the following dump:

I am running on an Ahtlon 64-X2 based system with 4GB RAM, and Windows XP SP2. I searched the forums and tried the following based on the recommendations of other users:
1. Try to install the latest nightly build version.
2. Rename the "plugins" directory, run vlc.exe, revert the "plugins" directory, and then run vlc.exe again.
3. Installed a hotfix for msvcrt.dll from Microsoft support.
To note, I am using an nVidia GeForce 7300GS graphics card with a TV hooked up as a secondary display. I usually play my videos with the video overlay mode activated so that I can use the PC while the video is running in the background.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your responses!
