I am not sure what is causing your crashing, just revert back 
everything you can (without changing any previous settings from their 
non-default ones!) and what video output are you using. If you are 
using macosx then change it to quartz. macosx vo does not work on old 
mac computers that are too old to use corevideo which that video output 
is based off of. (bad default for whoever is doing that binary on the 
website.)
