(sorry for the double post, my first one was rejected by the listserv)

I am having a similar problem with my AVI files which are 2GB and uncompressed.  

Although each movie is 9000 frames, only 4638 frames open up - and I do not get an out of memory error.  I also cannot selectively open the frames occurring after 4638 (ex. opening frames 4000-5000 gives just yields a stack with 639 frames).

If I reduce the memory alloted to 1GB (down from 1.4GB) then I can get an OOM error "3371 of 59990 frames will be opened".

I can send a test file, if you can advise me on the best way to transmit it (a 2GB file).

Thanks
