Depending on the # of atoms, 6000 frames may exceed the amount of ram a 32bit application can address (4GB). If you're having problems with the 64bit version, you should probably ask the vmd-l list.
The only workaround other than that is trjconv -skip and make a trajectory file that skips frames and will load under 4GB of ram.
