...win32 nightly build for me. With the following nightlys 16.6, 17.6 i get a memory error if i try to open a video file (*.ts, *.mpg)

Yes, VLC has been broken by commit #15915... this is the risk of using nightly builds
However, this sould be fixed by #15917 & #15918, so the next nightly build should work better.
Or you could also deactivate the buggy feature: Preferences... -> Interface -> check Advanced options -> UNcheck "Collect statistics"

thank you for the answer! I face the 'risk' using nightlys...no problem for me.

so the next nightly build should work better

yes, vlc-0.8.6-svn-20060618 is working fine

Thank you,
