Bizhawk throws an exeption when movie folder contains alot of movies

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have a selection of movies in the movies folder
2. 10 is enough, but the more you have the easier to trigger the bug
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
When loading a movie, the expected result is to see the relevant movie file for 
me to play and/or continue.

This along standing bug that's annoyed me for ages, but it time to get it known 
before a new bizhawk release is put out.

Sometimes, more often than not. If I as I build up a list of movie files, 
bizhawk will through up an exception after it has tried to scan through all the 
movie files.

Normally the exception window can be closed and just hit the rescan button and 
the relevant movie will eventually show.  Sometimes it can take 2 or 3 re 
attempts but will get their in the end.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Any recent bizhawk version, Windows 8.1 64bit

Please provide any additional information below.

Its almost as if bizhawk is unzipping every movie file to search for the 
correct hash but it takes too long and bizhawk gets fed up of waiting and 
causes an exception.

I can confirm this error happens to me as well.  I am using 1.10.0

After the error message, you can reopen the Play Movie dialog, and it will play 
just fine.  Unless you are using TASProj files.

Please see Issue 435 for more details on that:
