If I change either audio or video driver, then the new video plays. If I 
change both audio and video drivers, then the new video does not play.  
I can seek through it with the right arrow key and the time in the panel 
changes and a new frame is displayed but the video does not play.  If I 
pause and stop it with the space bar and the start/pause button in the 
panel looks pushed or not, but the video is not playing.  This is with 
Windows 7, 64-bit.

On a slightly different topic, when I implemented idle mode in the 
Preferences dialog, I asked what the defaults should be, and we were 
puzzled about "Display in the Video Window".  We decided it applied only 
to DirectX, maybe because that driver referenced some variables having 
to do with that option.  Recently I was puzzled why I did not get the 
video menu when I right clicked in the video window when a movie was 
playing.  When the option "Display in the Video Window" was set, I did 
get the video menu.  Without that option there was a console message 
about no bind for MOUSE_BTN2.  I think the option means let the GUI 
handle the window or not.  I also think that changing the driver and 
using the Video Window option might be a bad idea.
