Video Hoster 3.320 is released.

It fixes the problems some users had loosing files, which has never happened before at MTU in 30 years. This is a free upgrade if you bought Hoster or an upgrade since May 30, 2006.

Why do so few 3.318/3.319 users loose files? The problem came from our trying to make ALL ZIP files work. I truly regret we ever started support for ZIP files, but now we have a near air-tight support for about 12 different ZIP file error conditions, including MAX compression that WinZIP and Windows Media Player won't even play. We have removed all code that deleted the folder used to unzip files. Part of the randomness was based on what other programs were running with Hoster, or before it ran.

The code that could go errant runs whenever Hoster starts up and shuts down. We have re-created it at MTU, and don't yet know what Windows is doing that triggers wiping out so many KMA and other files in a few seconds. The files are not deleted, so the NTSF file system index is being damaged.

If you are fearful to install 3.320, I don't blame you. However the code that could do the deletion was identified and removed.

One thing I can say, and Karen K has proven,as long as you continue to run 3.318 or 3.319 your files are vulnerable.

Tell me you can import and not loose any more files and then and only then will we deserve your praise.

However, we have always jumped on any crash bug immediately. As I said above, in MTU's 30 year history, and my 40 year product development history, we have never seen anything like this.

It is truly mind boggling. It proves to me how low Microsoft Windows has deteriorated since we first embraced it in 1988.

Working on it at this VERY moment.....can't wait to get up and running again!

Sorry I was so hard on you guys but I'm telling you, the relief I felt after I finished loading all my CDGs was as great as the disappointment I felt after they started disappearing!

I appreciate the speed at which you hopefully have fixed this bug...
