BeSweet keeps crashing

[crudux-cruo]

I'm using DVD2SVCD. I used ver 1.1.0 and 1.2.0 and downloaded the 'stable' version of besweet. But when I get to the stage of besweet, it crashes (besweet in particular). I've since changed mobo, CPU since I was last able to run DVD2SVCD fine. Any way I can incorporate a different audio program into DVD2SVCD or any fixes?

Thanks.

I had the same problem for weeks -- Error with Windows XP, DVD2SVCD and BeSweet while converting DVD's to SVCD. I was finally able to determine the cause of mine --- CPU instability due to O/C @ too low a VCore.

Many times a system that seems 100% stable and run everything else fine will crater during audio and video encoding. Mine was intermittent, with BeSweet sometimes completing, but more often than not -- BeSweet would just crash and produce an error with an option to send info. to MS.

Audio/Video encoding is VERY CPU intensive and will cause errors where other tests (SANDRA Burn-in, 3DMark, etc.), will not. Try running the latest version of Prime95 (23.7.1 or greater) and execute the "Small FFT's" torture test. This isolates the CPU and gives it a thorough thrashing. Mine would pass the previous versions of Prime95 for 24 hour loops, but with the newest version and this test, it failed within 30-45 minutes -- clueing me in as to what may be going on with BeSweet. If you want to pound the RAM -- run the "Blend" torture test overnight.

I bumped my VCore to 1.725 from 1.70 and all is good !!!

Give it a shot !!

Besweet will crash if you are encoding an avi file with a frame rate with something like 29.9650,check with virtualdub if thats the case,its not always system instability.

I had a number of fights with that ware. My advice..? keep your fists up untill you or the ware is down and ko'ed... 8)

Thanks! Lowering the CPU settings to stock fixed the problem. What cooling system do you have?

Gladiator H.S.
Delta Fan
Ear Plugs

P.S. I just got my system up a few days ago so I'm still playing with it.

I use a Vantec AeroFlow w/ TMD fan (70mm). Good cooling w/ a relatively quiet fan -- dumped my Gladiator/Delta (too noisy) quite some time ago and went for an Alpha 8045 w/ 80MM Sunon fan, but my new mobo doesn't have mounting holes, so now I have a Vantec. It's really a pretty good H/S with performance close to the Alpha.

Prime95 is an excellent tool for testing. If there is any weakness it and audio/video encodes will reveal them. IMHO -- It ain't stable if it can't pass 24 hours of "Blend" Prime95 torture test.

Here are my spec's ...

Soltek SL75FRV (KT400) w/ AMD AthlonXP 2500+ Barton @ 2.3GHz (3400+) -- 185x12.5 and 1.725 vcore | Vantec AeroFlow | 2x512MB Kingston HyperX PC2700 - CAS2, Fast, 1T, 8W, 4-way | PNY GF4 Ti4200 128MB -8XAGP | Hercules Fortissimo II | Antec SX-1030 case w/ Tru430 PSU | 2x Maxtor 80GB 7200 RPM ATA133 | Pioneer 116 DVD | LiteOn 32x CD/RW | WinXP Pro | Prime95 23.7.1 Tested Tough
