Thank you for your understanding.

I know what you mean, but there is one piece of evidence that points to 
it NOT being hardware related.  That is that it can be made to seg fault 
in a very repeatable manner.  It always does it at exactly the same 
point in a given piece of (faulty?) video. 

Also the hardware I am running should be OK.  The mobo was recommended 
for it's stability (an abit NF7-S) and I have run memory tests, 
extensive ones, with no errors.
