FYI, the following MPEG-1 Program Stream completely locks my Windows NT 4.0 
machine:
         http://www.live.com/fight.mpg
When I disabled the audio (using --noaudio), the (video) stream played 
OK.  When I disabled the video (using --novideo), the machine locked up as 
before.

*However*, if I instead play the component audio and video Elementary Streams:
         http://www.live.com/fight-audio.mpg
         http://www.live.com/fight-video.mpg
then - in both cases - they play OK.  So, it's not clear exactly what's 
going wrong.

Could someone with Windows NT 4.0 please check to see if they can reproduce 
this?

Sorry, there are no logs.  My computer locks up hard; nothing is saved.
