please read everything and help if you can
ok so i have been trying to solve this problem for awhile now.
i edit and produce amv's (animated music videos) using animes such as death note and bleach and have been using ulead for a while now. but recently when i load about 25 episodes into my library, some of them wont work. normally the first 4 will play just fine and i can edit them or do whatever but when i try to watch/edit/do anything with the others, ulead just gives me the "needs to shut down do you want to send error report" message and exits out. ive tryed reinstalling, repairing it, and ive uninstalled quicktime and real player and turned off auto save and still have the same problem.
the only thing ive discovered is that the clips that work say 12 bit and the ones that dont work say 16 bits
all the files are in Xvid MPEG-4 format
any help would be appreciated
videostudio crashing when i try to edit some clips

While you may be doing everything correctly, the one thing that is more then likely causing you the grief is the Xvid format. Those highly compressed formats are meant for one thing only... to be viewed on a PC, generally via the internet. They are not meant to be edited, period end of story.
VS can create compressed formats such as DivX, Xvid, MPEG-4, MPEG-2 from your native video. That does not mean that it is suppose to be able to edit them. Several people have managed to "get away with" editing those formats, but sooner or later the chickens come back to roost. VS throws a fit when trying to do something with them. This is not Ulead or VS's fault. If you understood video compression schemes and algorithms, then you probably would not be trying to edit these formats. Simply put, once the source video is compressed to Xvid or DivX, a lot of data is thrown away. Now when you want to edit this format, where does it get the discarded data from to recreate it? It must be decompressed to work with it, but yet the data is not there so it must guess at what you need.
Sorry about the rant, but one can not act as if the program is not working when it gets fed material that is nearly impossible to work with. Now try converting your Xvid video to something a little easier to work with like at least MPEG-2. Do a search for "Super" by erightsoft. It can convert about any format to any other format.
