This is driving me nuts

[Alan H]

have a 'system freezing' prohblem when trying to use any software to burn
DVD's or SVCD. I can burn video imported from my DV camcorder but cannot
burn
downloaded videos saved on the hard drive be they AVI or MPEG. I can burn
data with no problems. As soon as it gets into the encoding phase the system
freezes. I have tried a complete re-format and re-install of windows XP Pro
and SP2 but it still happens.I have a 2.8 AMD processor with 1024RAM and an
ATI Radeon 128meg video card. Using Fat32 I have a 80g Seagate HD with loads
of space(C: &D. I have tried Ulead 7. Nero 7 and AVS Video convertor. Same
result on all. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks.

Could be a hardware issue. One of the folloving components:

DVD drive, Video card, memory, processor. Try memtest86 for the memory,
Im sure there are diagnostic utilities for the other components. I'm
tempted to tell you to find a game with decent graphics and see if it
crashes on you.

I'd say you need to download better codecs than the supplied default
ones...see if there is an available "
plugin" for your burning software and/or go and download an all in one codec
pack (their are many free out there)
