UPDATE

This thread was really for 2 issues... the crashes and also the date sorting issue.

fforde is currently working on a build to address the crash issue and I have worked out why my date was not being sorted correctly.

The new build of Moving Pictures grabs the date from the 'date created' field in windows for the movies. The problem with this is that the 'date created' is actually when the file was made/copied, so if you have a really old file and move it to a directory, then the 'date created' is when you copied it.

However, the 'date modified' is actually when the file was made. I know this doesn't sound right or make sense, but this is how Windows has made the file system.

What I did, was get a program that can mass modify files and I changed all my files so that the 'date modified' was turned into the 'date created' and then it fixed my date issue.

I think consideration should be given to making the date sorting by 'date modified' for the other people out there, but, that will be up to the dev team of Moving Pictures to see if my findings have merit...
