hi,

i am trying to encode a movie using TMPGEnc downloaded from afterdawn.com. i followed all the instructions from the guide to convert avi to a dvd on afterdawn.com (http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/convert_avi_to_dvd.cfm). however, everytime i start tmpgenc and leave it to encode, it dies some time later. i don't know exactly when it dies, because i either go to sleep or go out after starting the program. i tried reinstalling tmpgenc, but the same problem occurs no matter what.

please help me solve this problem.

actually, the program doesn't just end, but my computer restarts. does it have anything to do with the fact that i have a laptop and it's easily overheated?

so how do you cap the computer performance so it doesn't overheat?

It certainly sounds like a heat-related problem. Will your cords reach the refridgerator? Encoding is very strenuous on the CPU and since it takes so long your laptop's cooling may not be able to keep up quite enough.

I've seen little bases that hold a laptop and have little fans on it to cool the laptop's tushie while it's running. It might be worth a shot to google something like "laptop cooling" or something similar and see what you come up with.

Hope this helps :)

Here's a simple one that you could use with a table-top fan to move air underneath:

Being the cheap bastard that I am, I'd just prop the laptop up with the edge of a book at the back and blow the fan underneath it :)

thanks for the suggestion, but i'm in a college dorm room, so i don't have a fan available right now.

but the weird thing is, sometimes, the computer gets very hot when i play games, especially high end graphic games like halo, but it never shuts down, even when i play for a long time (i.e. 3 or more hours).

so is there no way to tweak the cpu itself to limit it's working rate so it doesn't overheat in the first place? can i do something to windows xp to make this happen?
