First: I know it's blaspheme to run MythTV on Windows 7, but it's really cool and convenient.
So I found this project
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mythtvwindows/ It runs a MythTV frontend and/or backend on Windows 7 and the menus work really well. It makes it really easy to schedule and edit recording schedules and set priorities. Plus now I have an easy way to take screenshots for the LinHES forum
.
It installed quickly and easily, and it should have it just unzips the files to C:\Windows\Program Files\MythTV. It launched perfectly the first time and played recordings and videos. The recordings were unusually dark so I tried messing with the video playback settings. Well after I touched that setting every time I launch an HD recording MythTV on Windows the app crashes hard. I can still play back some videos and all SD recordings just not HDTV recordings. The error log that Windows provides reads as

If I do a search for libmythavformat-52.dll it says it decodes NUV files. What's odd is the NUV SD recordings are the ones that are working.
This is the crash when Playing back video files.
