Snap AVIs (especially from emumovies)

Relatively new (but Registered) to Gameex having shifted from Mamewah. Bringing across my video snaps (Circo's emumovies) which work fine in Mamewah I'm horrified to see GameEx FREEZE! (necessitating, on my system, a reboot)

I've done the searches, installed and uninstalled various combinations of official DivX, KLite, CCCP and the FFDShow from this website all with no success. I use (and have only downloaded and don't wish to convert) the HiQ set (I have a 1920 by 1200 display and by God I'm gonna use it!) from Circo.

Then, randomly trying out setup options, I noticed something that may be interesting and relevant to the debate. If you enter the configuration and go to the AUDIO section and tun "Audio in SNAP AVIs" to NO then the video previews will play perfectly fine (although obviously without sound). It doesn't matter whether the background sounds (I have an Arcade Ambience track running) on or off, if this flag is YES you freeze and if NO, it displays.

As an aside I enter my multimedia section to play a divx music video avi (preview for this turned on as well...used to just rely on the created png Snapshot images previously) and in this case the audio started but the video did not play (and it didn't seem to hang). Playing the music video did both video and audio okay although the previous audio from the preview was also still running (and still contined playing after exiting GameEx).

Needless to say both Music Videos and Circo's video snaps run flawlessly outside of GameEx (tried using both WMP11 and Winamp)

So, is the culprit somehow localised to either the audio codec instead of the video codec (as seems to be identified as a potential candidate by every other thread) or something that Tom's doing for playback that ONLY affects the preview window?
