Why does read() time out when used with mmreader() ?

Hello All,

I am trying to subtract successive frames in a video (.asf) and then convert the difference image to binary and then plot the location of the maximum index pixel.But it looks like read() which I have used to read a single frame actually timed out.I almost repeated the same for 8 videos assuming that the video might have got corrupted but it still shows me that the MATLAB has timed out.Is there any specific reason or am I doing anything wrong.I can post the code if any users want to have a look at it.

Any one interested in replying ???

Not familiar with 'read.' What about getframe or frame2im?

@Sean I finally found an answer for this timed out.

It is actually a bug which was corrected in the latest version of MATLAB and since I had a 2009b version of MATLAB my code wasn't running at all.
