Ok I will look into this when I have some time.

Ok it looks like a bug. I tried this also on my computer and although it is 
working if the directx output uses the YUV overlay mode, it is crashing if 
you use the plain RGB mode.
The directx plugin in the development branch has been rewritten so it should 
solve most of the current bugs. I guess this new version won't be released 
soon though, so you will have to be patient (well... I might upload a win32 
binary of the current cvs so that it can get some testing because I know 
building the win32 version is a pain in the ass and not many people will do 
it).

Thanks for your bug report.
