I had problems some videos with other players (Windows Media Player, Winamp) and these players crashed when I opened the video.
VLC worked fine...
So try it 
yup, plays fine in VLC. what is the cause of the problem though cos i wanna convert the video and burn it to a dvd, but i wanna know a solution so i wont run into any problems on playback
[Update] i removed every single one of my codecs ( i had the k-lite mega codec pack installed) and the explorer doesnt crash! but i cant view the video
solved the problem
i had to remove all the codecs and update them. apparently the codecs had some bugs in them
