Cuttermaran video freezes

[Saltydog]

I'm trying to edit a DVD that I created using my Pioneer 220. I ripped the disk using Decrypter and Balkrick's 'how to' guide. The video is MPEGII, 720, NTSC and the audio is AC3, 2 ch. The problem comes in when I try using Cuttermaran. About 10 secs in the video freezes (the audio will play). If I attempt any operator action the program freezes. Any ideas? TMPGEnc2.5 and the ???.net from Microsoft are both installed. Also, in order to see the whole window I had to scale up from 800X600 to 1024. Is that normal?
I'm using Win98SE
XP2000+
512 RAM
32MB GeForce2 mx400
20G HD for OS
80G HD for vid with about 60 avail
The file I'm working with is less then 1G

Thanks,
SD

I have the 220 as well. Videoredo (my usual editing proggie) would have this same problem. MVW works perfectly. You might try it.

Thanks. I'll give the one you suggest a try in the future. I'd read so much good stuff about Cuttermaran. I'm pretty disappointed. Guess I should have bought the Studio 9.0 on eBay.
