I'm not quite sure of the parameters of this, but it randomly freezes my entire computer after it will play a clip for about a second, it has done it with different file types, and times with random on and off...i dunno what's going on exactly, any suggestions?

Sounds like a display driver issue.
Please let me know what operating system and video card(s) you are using, and if you are using multiple monitors.

i'm on windows 98, 400 mhz celeron with an Nvidia Riva 128/128ZX. It seems to do it a lot more witht he raqndom option on, if it matters :\

You could try reducing hardware acceleration, this might fix the problem in case it is a driver issue: go to Control Panel > Display > Settings, click Advanced, select the Performance tab and drag the slider to reduce the hardware acceleration.
I'm going to run VideoSaver on my Win98 test system to see if I can reproduce the problem.

Well, i took the acceleration down a notch, and the screen once again froze, all playback stopped, but this time i was able to control alt delete the screen saver. Once again playback stopped apporx 2 seconds after it loaded the file.

Seems to work fine, I tested a small playlist with AVI, MOV and MPEG, random order playback, for about half an hour.
I would recommend installing different drivers if possible: either Nvidia reference drivers for the RIVA 128, or Windows 98 default drivers for your card (if available).
