your logs indicate that both audio and video are correctly identified and 
decoded, so what problem are you experiencing?
BTW these mails belong to the mailing list 

I believe that the problem was that my computer was too unstable to play 
these video files.  I removed some hardware and unnessary cabling from the 
case which improved air flow.  I tried playing the files again and they 
played fine.  I guess that it was a heat problem making the computer freeze 
up.  I don't know why the computer would play divx, xvid, DVD isos, fine and 
then freeze up on nero digital files unless they are more cpu intensive or 
more senstive to output errors from the cpu?  Thanks for the help.
