Intermitent Freeze

[LGLDSR]

What part of the suite are you using when you get the BSOD?

 

Also - have you run a spybot check? (adaware and/or spybot s&d)

 

Again - are you using IE7 and WMP11? (both known to be causing problems)

 

Are your video/graphics drivers fully up to date and have you installed the December release of DirectX9.0c?

 

We really need a bit more info - along with your system specs

 

While not getting a BSOD, I am getting intermitent freezes of my system (Intel 3.4GHz, 1GB DDR, et al), XP w/SP2. This happens at the end of the encoding process when using MyDVD. I have to crash the system.

 

Another bizarre issue: I'll go back to the computer and the progress will read 100% (waiting for me to click OK at this point), and the tray is open. One would think the DVD had been created. Yet increduously the DVD is blank and was in fact never written to.

 

I am using IE7.x so this may perhaps be the problem albeit I am unsure. Symantec is disabled during the creation process.

 

Lastly, when I import the video from the Sony Camcorder there is a single 9GB file in .AVI format. Why is it being saved in this format? Did I overlook a desired filetype during configuration of the program?

 

I've been in IT for >23 years and can't recall a more problematic, frustrating program.

 

Any assistance greatly appreciated. Thanks!

What video card do you have? EMC minimum requirements state a video card that support DirectX9 - not an older card with DirectX 9 compatible drivers. What you are experiencing is indicative of that. Videowave/MyDVD will acutally use the GPU on the video card for video rendering in certain instances.

 

Yes, IE7 has been found to cause more problems than originally thought. Some posters have removed it and then projects rendered successfully. This is not just a problem with EMC either. I've seen it posted in other forums, too.

 

DV AVI is the desired format for editing. It's much faster than editing MPEG or other compressed formats which must be uncompressed on-the-fly for editing. Editing compressed files can also introduce other problems like video/audio out of sync issues.
