Video footage freezes but music plays on!

Hi Folks,

I've been trying to sort this problem out but without success, so I've come here to the experts.

I am working on an 11 minute music clip in VMS HD 10.0. The file consists only of the video clip with associated sound. Nothing else at this point.

About half way through the clip (in the Timeline) there is a tiny black downward facing triangle on the video portion of the file.

As the file plays through, the video footage freezes at the exact point of the triangle while the music continues to play.

I have tried to find a way to remove the triangle, which I presume is causing the problem, but can't find a way to do so. Nor do I know how or why it appeared there in the first place. I've never had this problem before. When I load the file into Windows Movie Maker, it plays through without any problem.

I have uploaded a small image to Flickr in case you can't picture what I am trying to explain. I don't know if URLs are allowed here, but I'll include the link anyway.

And if that doesn't work, try:

Thanks for taking the time to help with this.

Hi Folks,

Wow, I can't believe I've stumped the experts with my VMS problem. I've made a 25 second video of the issue so you can see and hear what I am trying to explain.

You can see the clip here:

The problem has never occured before, and I have no idea why it has popped up on this video. Clearly I have triggered some sort of triangular marker at the point where the footage freezes, while the music continues to play through as normal.

If all else fails I can create the video I am trying to make in Windows Movie Maker, but I would prefer to work in VMS 10.0. Don't we all?.

You can see the clip here:

I'm really hoping someone can help me with this.

Thanks in anticipation.
