GSpot is a highly respected application and is recommended by Microsoft:

VLC absolutely cannot be the cause of the problem, because VLC is completely separate from DirectShow infrastructure. VLC has its own integrated codecs (non-DirectShow) and its own player.
The problem on your computer is most likely caused by some third-party DirectShow codec. The fastest way to find the problematic codec is to use GSpot to analyze the set of DirectShow codecs used by your PC for opening MJPEG videos.
Michael - I installed GSpot 2.70a and copied the file that crashed to the interface.
Gspot seems to think there is no problem, which makes sense as both VLC and Windows Media Player can both play it.
It says
Codec MJPG
'Codec(s) are installed.

How do I proceed? Only iPi software is having a problem reading the file?
