Hello, Now I download sources for mpeg.c and have found that plugin crashes after gimp_progress_update (1.0); on line 320. I am not specialist in GIMP sources but it seems to me that this call invoked "for illustration only". Thus I comment this line. After this GIMP loads mpeg successfully and it seems to me that GIMP can process the file in a correct way. -- Serge Gavrilov Institute for Problems in Mechanical Engineering, Laboratory of Hydroelasticity, St.Petersburg, Russia | URL: http://www.ipme.ru/ipme/labs/he/serge.htm
