Okay for those folks who are not able to play back WTV files encoded by MCEBuddy I've found out why. It's FFDSHOW, somewhere ffdshow is breaking WTV playback.
I've isolated part of it, ffdshow video decoder configuration ->MPEG2 -> set to Disabled (this is what causes the crash). Now it should not crash WMP or MCE anymore.
However I have noticed on 1 computer this causes the video playback not to work. That's something ffdshow has broken. I haven't found a workaround for it but you can try uninstaling ffdshow and see if it helps otherwise the best bet is to reinstall windows (it works perfectly on a clean installation) and DO NOT INSTALL FFDSHOW as it it break WTV playback.
i will be removing the prompt to install ffdshow in the next build of mcebuddy
