I'm trying to skip through a video frame-by-frame to find clear still images.
I'm using the e key to skip through the frames.
If I press the e key multiple times, some component of VLC Media Player crashes and the video freezes.
I can no longer play the video or skip forward or backward or anything.
After this happens, the only way I can play the video in VLC Media Player again is if I manually stop vlc.exe via Windows Task Manager.
This bug can be reproduced every time.
I tried two different videos and the same thing happened with both.
One video was MP4 format and the other was MPG.
VLC Media Player 1.1.4
Windows XP Professional
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
2GB PC3200
nVidia GeForce 7600GT

Re: Frame Skip Bug
I have the same issue. Seeing no response to your post I am wondering if it's of any interest to anyone here.
My config and problem:
OS: Win-XP Media Center Edition SP3
VLC media player 1.1.4 The Luggage
When using the Frame-by-Frame feature VLC invariably hangs after some number of consecutive frames. Once that happens the play button is inoperative and VLC is unresponsive to loading a new file although it does respond to closing VLC.
The file format doesn't seem to be the problem, avi or mp4. I have to consider it may be a problem with the input file itself but have no way to verify any problem absent a message from VLC.
Does anyone know if this is a bug or some issue with my system?
Is it a problem with an input file and if so how can the file be "repaired"?
If it's a bug has it been reported?
Thanks to anyone for any enlightenment or help on this issue.

Re: Frame Skip Bug
Obviously this is a bug of some sort given I am now the third person to raise this particular topic.
As already stated, once the hangup occurs, the program can be closed with the Close button (but not through "Quit" button / CTRL+Q) but is not removed from the system and must be purged through Task Manager or a similar method.
Only video-related features are affected. You still have access to all other windows and shortcuts still work (even video-based shortcuts such as skipping ahead will show visually but no motion will happen in the video).
