Bets OS for conversion???

[jaw2957]

What are some opinions on the best OS for conversion. I have tried 98se, ME, XP pro, and 2000 pro. 98se was perfect, I just wish I could go back to it! Me is nearly as good, but I have troubles with smartripper. XP still gives me nightmares. When I see it on store shelves, I weep like a little bitch. Smartripper always froze it up, or restarted it. CCE did the same. I currently have windows 2000 pro because I want to start using scenarist, but smartripper freezes occasionally, and CCE will fully encoded without freezing about 1 in 4 times. CCE likes to freeze after at least 6 hours of encoding. All of these were clean installs, and the conversion software was just about the only thing on the pc's. I have an athlon, and before I get a reply about ASPI for smartripper, I have tried everything. I could use some cce tips. I have found cce will encode if i don't touch anything, including the mouse. BTW I am running an AMD at 850, so I am suspecting this may be the start of my problems, although I cannot figure out why 98se was so flawless???

Windows 2000 works best for me
