Hello all. Spent some time reading through other posts and tried my hand with the search button but couldn't find anything that would fit this situation. Here goes. I have two machines, a laptop 1.8 ghz p4 with 512 ddr with a USB 2.0 burner toshiba 8x. and a desktop 1.6 p4 with 256 sdram (yeah, i know but I'm a cheapskate)sony 16x. Anyways, both of these systems would rip burn backups like pros, never had problems with either. then they both started having problems transcoding certain movies. now neither will successfully transcode a single movie, new or old. The laptop will just reboot with no error messages on startup or winows error messages. The desktop will just freeze. No BSOD on either, no error meesages, no serious erros. Nothing. At first I thought it was a dvd decrypter issue, but it goes through just fine, if I try going straight through dvd shrink alltogether it will still hang. Then i thought the issue might be with a bad video driver so i updated both. Nothing. Then I thought maybe a fresh install of windows (on the desktop) would do it. Nothing. I decided to try a different build of windows (instead of a winxp pro corporate). Nothing. I tried a different version of dvd shrink, 3.1.7. Nothing. After reading some posts i decided to check whether heat was a factor. The desktop system froze with a read out of 53 deg cel on the cpu. I have already preset the auto shutdown temp of the cpu at 60 deg cel. I've already taken off the cpu fan and cleaned it good. No dust in the case. Nothing. The laptop and p.c work fine with all other apps. They just freeze with shrink. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I'm racking my brains on this one.
Thank you
nuke.
