I think that might be the problem I am seeing.  I have submitted BT. for 
the crashes but it apear to happen after a video is finished but before 
comerical detection kicks in.  I might be something with the creation of 
those images as some on my shows don't have .png files associated with 
the show but I have the system setup to generate those for each so as I 
just have the front end display them instead of the mini video.
