Well, good news and bad news:

The Good News: Installing the proper version of the C runtime library
(Microsoft.VC80.CRT version 8.0.50727.4053) solves the problem with
loading the KRSgrAVI DLL.

The Bad News: Everything seems to work great, as long as the movie is
not too large. I have not explored this thoroughly, but if your movie
is small (say, just a few MB) all is well. If, on the other hand, your
movie is large (say 650 MB or larger) IDL crashes when trying to load
the KRSgrAVIreader object. I am running IDL 7.0.8 by the way.

I am suspicious that the reader object is attempting to read the
entire movie into memory, and therefore it is crashing IDL when the
movie is too large. I am hoping this is NOT the case, because if it is
then analyzing a very large (multi-GB) movie file will be out of the
question.

Does anyone out there know if older versions of this DLL have a
problem with large files?
