Can't Import Video

[Myself]

When I try to import video, it crashes the program - I get a popup asking if I want to report the problem to Microsoft, but the program is closed. Then, VideoWave is frozen and I have to close that through the task manager. When I first installed Easy Media Creator, the Import program liked to play, "now I'll import, now I'll freeze," and now it doesn't work at all. I'm really annoyed with it. Any suggestions?

How about some information! What are your system specs? What kind of video are you importing? From what source?

Sorry, I have 768 MB of memory, 30GB hard drive (though I just got a 500GB external), I'm trying to improt vob video from DVDs (non-copy protected). What else do you need?

Is that 30GB hard drive your system drive? How much free space do you have on it? I don't know if you will able to do much video work with such a small drive. Even if you can use the large external drive to store all your video, temp files, EMC still requires some space on your system drive.

 

How are you trying to capture the video? Can your simple copy the vob files from the DVD to your external drives, change the extension to mpg and then load them into Videowave.

 

What is your video card and your CPU?

Not sure. Actually, I think I solved it. I was trying to rip to DIVX, which wasn't working. MPEG is working much better. Thanks:)
