This IS one of the reasons why MTU is switching back to their old tried and true player.

Well said Jim.

We made good headway over the weekend, proving some directions are required. We now expect to get 4.03 Beta 1 out tomorrow to our testers. It uses our older Lyrics player (in Microstudio and Hoster since 1.000). We are removing all use of WMP9/11 and IE6/7 from the lyrics as these are preventing us from getting the triggers back to keep in sync, set the Dur counter correctly, why it is hanging at 00:00), and not freezing up in the CUE state waiting forever for the next files to open.

JohnColin, I am truly, truly, truly sorry you are having problems. As you can see, MadJim, goonie227 and others are not. Go figure... cause we can't!

That's why we are returning to our older Lyrics render code. We are doing it in a way that CURRENTLY we don't think will loose any features, only get rid of the Microsoft headaches.

I'm with you... users should NOT have to dink with technology, and MTU has been super-able to hide technology for 3 decades now. We're having a temporary glitch with Microsoft and our own learning curve with WMP and IE. We are moving rapidly towards a decision.

If your MP4 files play in 3.3xx, they will again in 4.03.

BTW: What is the extension on them?
