I have an application written in Builder 3 (and compiled in Builder 5) that
uses TMediaPlayer class for displaying my AVIs (MPEG-2).  I have 10 MPGs
that run sequentially forever.  Each MPG is about 30 seconds long.  After
about 46 hours and 20 minutes.  The video window comes up  black but there
is no output.  The application is still running because there is a watchdog
timer that would reboot the machine if the app hangs.  If you exit the
program and re-run it, the window remains black (no visible output).  If you
reboot, everything works fine until about 46 hours and 20 minutes later.

I rewrote the app under VC++ 6.0 using the mciSendCommand APIs and the same
thing happens.  I'm running under Win98SE, but the same thing happens in
WinME.

Any ideas?????
