I just tried it on 2 files, one 86 MB, the other 110 MB.

The response was instantaneous. No delay at all.....

Did you try it on different file types, or just MPEG files?

I don't have an MPEG file on my computer, so I couldn't try that file type


It does differ depending on file-type.

For me big .avi's take a long time.

Interestingly the .mpg propertypage come up instantaneously,
while .mpeg takes a long time.

Looking in the registry under HKCR, .mpg and .mpeg are almost
identical. And the next level, what (Default) points to,
(BSPlayerFile.MPG & BSPlayerFile.MPEG) are again almost identical
so the explanation lies somewhere deeper then this cursory look.
