    No, I am using a graphmanager with standard directshow filter.

    Sometimes an apparent freeze can just be a run away thread. This only happens on single core non-hyperthreaded systems when a real-time thread uses 100% of the CPU.

    If the above is the case on your system it can make it difficult to debug without first lowering the application priority. Of course it's always nice to have hyperthreading or a dual core/processor system as it generally prevents this case from happening. And yes I have seen ATI capture cards (and others) lock systems hard due to hardware incompatibilities.

    I should probably also add that it should be impossible for a program to freeze the computer. Something like that usually takes a bad driver. Video maybe

    Hmm. Wonder what would happen if you did a couple of GC.Collect() calls. I'm thinking something is getting released by the GC that shouldn't be. You hanging on to a copy of the FilterGraph
