Hey, Jared,
Just an FYI: I tried an .mp3 file, and it still crashed.
If it is the version of JAVA I'm using, I guess that's what I get for
following directions to get the latest version...
I have sent a query to the MAGpie listserv, thanks for the tip!
~ Jan

The Java and GRINS player set up in MAGpie 2 is fairly complicated to
get set up correctly. There haven't been updates for a while, so it
might not be compatible with new versions of Java.
I'd recommend exporting a .wav or .mp3 with just the audio and then
use it in MAGpie to produce the captions. Unless there is something
you need to see in the video, this takes up less screen space and
MAGpie will be much more responsive when the video isn't loaded.
Or you could just use MAGpie 1, though you'd be limited to files that
can be opened in Windows Media Player.
There is a MAGpie mailing list -
