With many thanks for the replies already received, I
should add some diagnostic information I partly forgot
and partly could not know yet:

I started the project anew three times, and all three
times it resulted in being able to import files but not
being able to re-open the project after it had been
closed.

Just now, I actually got the error message and program
termination when I was not opening or working on the
project, but importing files. This happened with
downloading files in the format as downloaded from
camera.

I will try converting the files from avi DivX 5.0.5 to
avi Microsoft MPEG 4 v1.
Also, I will try to see what happens if I make projects
of different sizes with the files I used.

Hope this helps helping me!

Thanks,

Ewout
