My camera does not differentiat between pictures and video files when it is used to either take pictures or video, it sequentially numbers them and applies the appropriate .jpg or .avi extension but the important thing is that they all exist in the same upload folder that the camera software uses to transfer files to.
The problem...
Some of these avi files are large, a short 20 seconds or so for example will be 20 odd mega bytes which is not too much of a problem when irfranview reads it BUT the big problem is that irfranview locks up the computer with very large files that are a few minutes long and they average anything above 250mb.
I have to resort to killing the irfranview process in the task manager to regain control of my PC as it won't do much because of the severe amount of clock cycles it is consuming.
What I suggest is to have the first frame shown as a picture with a play symbol that is clicked to play the video and also the devs look in to offering up the video to be played in a media player that does not seem to suffer the problem of locking the computer up or the devs alter the video playback of irfranview to operate like a media player as this is a clear issue that needs to be addressed.
Out of preference I would like to have the option to play or skip past video files because of this problem with the way irfranview deals with video files.
It might be an idea to either read the RIFF or extension of the file and deal with appropriately.
Incase anyone is thinking bottlenecks...
The computer I have is an intel dual core machine running at 3.2 Ghz
It has 2 Gigs of DDR2 RAM (Maximum amount it can take)
the boot drive is a SSD.
Video card is an Nvidea chipset (onboard)
