opening the following video: http://www.100fps.com/veet_big.avi
causes VLC mediaplayer 0.7.2 to "crash", reproducable.
the debugger gives the following, i hope it's useful:

stack: 7C57180B 00000000 FFFFFFFF 089FFFEC 7C57438B

EAX=00000000 EBX=00000000 ECX=00000101 EDX=FFFFFFFF
ESI=00000000 EDI=00000000 EBP=089FFFB4 ESP=089FFFA8
EIP=77F813B2 EFL=00000286

audio appears to play correctly, but no video.

When I tried to run it from the http link (streaming), it played audio and video but froze after 4 seconds. It did not crash. I was still able to click stop and start where it would again freeze after 4 seconds. I downloaded the whole avi file to hard disk and then it ran fine. I'm running v0.7.2 on a Win2000 Pro Xeon 2.4GHz.

Same here -- no crash.
Win2K, 800 MHz, latest subversion software build.
The reason the video stops over the 'Net is that the server doesn't move the data fast enough -- you get continuous PTS out of range errors after the initial burst of data.
(I've only seen the URL serve the whole file quickly on 1 out of multiple attempts -- normally the supported data rate quickly drops.)

i have isolated this crash to only happening if i have deinterlace enabled (atleast "linear"). set the setting, "save" in options, (if it doesnt crash now) close vlc, start it with this video (from disk)

additionally, i find vlc sometimes hangs (needs to be killed) if i switch deinterlace method in the menu, this is a new problem in 0.7.2

Yeah there is such a bug with enabling deinterlace on windows in 0.7.2

What kind of PC do you have? AMD, P4

This might be important if we want to track a bug in linear. Cause that will likely be pretty hardware dependant.
