"spinning rainbow ball of doom" when I open the media inspector!

whenever I open the media inspector within iWeb I get the infamous "spinning rainbow ball of doom" and no matter how long I leave it the program has effectively crashed. I eventually have to force quit (the prompt tells me that iWeb is not responding). This happens every time and is highly annoying as I am forced to drag media from their host programs (iPhoto, iMovie etc). Can anyone help me?

I have this problem as well. iWeb becomes completely unresponsive with the media center open.

Theres been some threads about this. I'll post the main solutions that can cause this.

If there are movies in your iPhoto, export them and delete from iPhoto.

Move the contents of your movie folders out.

If you notice iWeb works fine, import the movies back into the movie folder one at a time. After each import, launch iWeb, if it works great, if you notice you got 3 movies in and the fourth one caused the spinning ball, its that movie causing an issue.
