Version: 1.2.1 (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2) "release 114", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.1) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27.21-0.1-default Right-clicking on H.264 movie files to invoke the Properties dialog invariably results in a crash--at least those from abbywinters.com do. The behavior remains the same even if the file is renamed or the extension changed.
Can you make a backtrace of the crash?
Thanks for the report! As Jonas said: a backtrace would be important to get a hint about the root cause. http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports has some informations how to provide such information.

Thanks, this is an issue in Strigi. I've reported the bug at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&atid=856302&aid=2788650&group_id=171000 In Dolphin for KDE 4.3 this kind of crash cannot occur anymore, as Nepomuk is used for getting the meta data.
Git commit d1254968eac95f4d9d8c47552e27f0cc40e6aed9 by Peter Penz. Committed on 27/02/2011 at 20:01. Pushed by ppenz into branch 'master'. KFileMetaDataProvider: Don't crash if a Strigi analyzer crashes Some Strigi analyzers are still unstable and crash under certain circumstances. This patch moves the reading of the meta-data into a custom process instead of doing it in a thread, which assures that a crashing Strigi analyzer does not result in crashing Dolphin or Konqueror when hovering some items.
