Sorry it's crashing on you; I realize you're too busy, but when we've seen this in the past, it's almost always been a bad movie file that's causing it. A quick test is to try opening that same file in Quick Look or QuickTime Player; if it crashes there, it'll crash Usher, too, as we use the same frameworks.

Select the movies you want to change, Control-click on one, then hold Option after the contextual menu appears. Now choose Always Open With and find DVD Player.

I deleted the message shortly after posting it because I realized that I hadn't waited long enough to process the import.  I didn't even notice the tiny little progress bar at the bottom of the window.  In any case, once I loaded a single movie, Usher began crashing every time I would launch it and it would resume processing it, so I just uninstalled it.  I don't have time right now to track down why it's not working properly.

Thank you,

Bruce
