Pro 1.5 Bug - any advice?

Alright, I'm using the AVS Plugin for Premiere, and I'm actually making some progress on an AMV (believe it or not) - But I'm running into another snag. When I try to edit Cowboy Bebop footage, Premiere will spontaneously close - the editing monitor will refuse to show anything beyond a certain frame, and as I scroll through the footage, it will eventually just close. If anyone knows anything about this sort of error, I'd appreciate help very much.

How is the footage encoded?

I ran the VOB files through DGIndex (a while ago), all I put in the AVS scripts was a crop and resize command.

It´s something I have to deal with too. After some time the preview stops and the program WILL break down in a few seconds.

My advice:
-deactivate every filter in your avs. There should be just resizing and crop for working activated (oh you already did)
-Set the avs Premiere GUI to 2MB Max. Memory per avs script
-Deactivate Antispyware, Antivir scanners and firewall.

Optional:
Get something that displays your amount of memory on the right down edges in Windows (you know... the place with the icons). For example the Memory Optimizer of TuneUp. Than work... And when you see that your program is going to shut down, look at the memory optimizer in the corner and remeber the state!
When you work and see the memory comeing next to the state, save your project, shut down Premiere and relaunch Premiere again.
I do it when I work in Premiere, this method works out fine.

After working and with all activated filters for export:
-Export only in uncompressed RGB and only parts (like very 30 seconds or every minute)

I doubt this will be enough to make the scripts run decently. I'd suggest at least 8 MB.

I swear it works absolutly smooth and fine even with Telecide() (yes there are some sources with Telecide settings that need more CPU, but most of the time it´s fine). I have:

3,2 Ghz (Pentium 4. Singlecore)
4x512 MB DDR2 RAM

ah yeah I worked in 720x540. So there is no trick behind it with a lower ressolution ^^
