Preview Window goes blank after upgrade to v3.0c

After solving my v3.0 audio problem where audio peaks disappeared by installing v3.0c I now find that during preview my video disappears. It worked fine with v3.0.
Now, I am a novice in comparison to all you folks, so my attempts have been to try every setting and adjustment withing vv3.0c to see if it helps. Nothing does. So still is strange it worked fine with 3.o. Suggestions while I keep looking? The file is 5 minutes of mpeg1 brought accross by a different software proved by Sony. The preview goes blank at 0:51. If I pause and play it resumes. Goes blank again at 2 other locats (then quit testing). I can manually use the arrows to see video right through these area's, but that 51 second area sometimes still shows black. Have changed buffers, templates, no templates, playback rate, undersample, switches, etc etc. Nothing changes the situation. My D: is video only Maxtor 7200 GB with temp files going to C: I have pages of notes, and still reading, but may 3.oc added a glitch. Have lots to learn and can get by with the arrow keys, but hope for better.

Does the video play all the way through okay if you watch it in Windows Media Player?

Good point. Yes it does. Just ran a original unendited .mpg copy and ran fine. I have several copies plus 3 different clips that all do the same. I also just ran a .avi through which I rendered couple days ago of one of these .mpeg dv files and it ran but showed a black "blip" right about at 51 seconds. Makes sense I guess and just proved the render had a blank in the same spot. Again, the raw files run with no blank, although in different spots I saw couple flashes on the video.
