This should always recover--it just might take a while (up to 2 min in 
my experience on an Athlon X2 6000+)--either by exiting playback and 
going back to Watch Recordings or by "playing" the video (which often 
becomes gray mush, requiring you to exit and restart playback 
yourself)--which happens depends a lot on what specifically is at the 
beginning of the video.  This does, also, assume good, working video 
drivers (i.e. a driver bug could cause a true lockup).

Note, also, that this isn't a problem in 0.22-fixes/trunk (as there is 
no live preview feature in 0.22-fixes/trunk).

This sounds like a video card driver issue.
