Just because a file plays doesn't necessarily mean that the file is complete.
Does this problem affect all your mkvs?
Is the thumbnails generated for the mkvs black?

i have tried lots of mkv files. all mkv thumbnails generate correctly but slow, no black frames.

Hmm... normally mkv does take longer to generate, but certainly not 1-2 seconds each. My mkv files generally takes about 200ms to generate each. Some longer.
CPU usage area of 20-60% while generating, is probably normal with your CPU (about the same as mine).

The fact that your mouse can't move while your CPU is at ~50%, is on the other hand, disturbing. (Read: not normal)

I have the same problem here with mkv files FullHD (1080p) when the Icaros generates thumbnails.
The Phenom II X4 works with 100% load on all cores.
Sometimes it also happens with HD mkv files (720p).

It really all comes down to, how much your CPU can handle.
I have a fairly old CPU; Intel Q6600 2.4Ghz, and all my 1080p videos take about a second to generate a thumb and peaks the CPU to around 90% for a brief period.
Still, it doesn't slow down my system in any way.

Processing high def material demands a good amount of power, that's really the issue.
The good thing about thumbnailing is, it only needs to be done once (in a while).

In the latest revision of LAV, a new matroska parser has been implemented, that might improve the situation a bit.
This build also fixes any problems concerning broken mkv files. ;-)

I am getting clr.dll errors and explorer.exe crashes (happens randomly) while browsing a folder with lots of video files. The folder is in tiles view. Any advice?

Have you registered any optional extensions?
Do you use ffdshow for decoding?

I have fixed a bug since 1.2.5, that caused some quite rare random crashes.
This new build will be released soon.

I had indeed registered optional extensions but removed them upon clr.dll errors. So now only the default is registered (.mkv, .ogm) but still get clr errors sometimes. I use only lav filters (0.40) for decoding.
Waiting for new build then.

I believe the new build will correct the problem :-)

sometimes if you move or open a file in a folder when thumbnails are being generated, explorer crashes.
