I do agree, it shouldn't, I also am not convinced that there is not a
reference counting issue belonging to my code. It does appear
that learning to use the debugging tools should be on my to do list.
I am often surprised that the damn thing works at all. I select build,
it builds, it runs, why isn't it done? The learning curve is steep when
your ten years or so behind.

That was my choice too. I had to ask though.

Again I had to ask, but that is what I got from the code. Damn!

And even again I had to ask to clarify my thinking.
When I first started FilmCutter I promised myself that I
would not to use code I didn't understand. That went
out the window with the direct show video viewer and
the results are obvious. Bill's interface is easy as I read
it was intended to be, by the underlying technology is a
real pain
I think my next move will be to create an experimental code
project to determine what I am doing wrong.
When I figure it out I'll let you know.
Thank you so much for your time.
