Here is what I have found with v8.1.1.7 Beta: The DirectShow selection opens the Preview GUI but does not play and in fact often (but not always) results in a crash. The Internal setting works OK, but still has choppy audio. This is on Win7 Pro (64-bit). This is with Preview automatic start disabled in Common Settings. I will pass it on to the QA Team to make sure they find the thread.
I think this is going to be one of those system configuration things guys, DirectShow works a treat on both my XP SP3 laptop and my W7x64 desktop. A/V are both smooth as silk. Version 8.1.1.7b

Yuppers, I think you nailed it.
The preview function on 8117 Beta won't play nice at all on my desktop, Win7 Pro 64-bit.
Both DirectShow and Internal crash Fab each and every time.
Disabling the autoplay function simply delays the inevitable crash.
//Edit
I should have added that previous versions did not cause any major problems for me
and actually now that I think about it, hardly any minor problems

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

It may have something to do with my OCD behavior of a clean uninstall before each new version. I scrub the registry with CCleaner, usually about three times, to rid it of all references to DVDFab and I even clean the Prefetch folder of Fab files. I realize it is probably not necessary, but things go pretty smoothly for me.
No idea what happened but the preview is now working. I haven't changed anything - First the preview would work on the main movie only - then a couple of days later it started working on all the files.
I hadn't added/removed/changed anything - Wish I could offer a solution for the people that may be having the same problem.
