Hey, rockboga. If you saw my post which is only a few lines below, you would see that it is all about the same CCE problem. And it is not just m,e and you. Many people face it -- CCE just accidentally stops working while the system itself continues to operate. You may wanna go to the doom9.net forum, and search all fora for "freeze", and it will show you about a hundred of topics dedicated to this or similar problems, and tons and tons of suggestions. From the very beginning, I should say that none of them worked for me. I finally managed to encode my video by
1) opening Task Manager in W2K, and closing all programs running in the background that I could close; I then left the TM open;
2) dividing my one-hour project into 6 ten-minute parts;
3) encoding each part through the Premiere -> VideoServer 1.93 -> VirtualDub (to resize my video from 856x480 to 720x480, otherwise CCE would not accept it) -> CCE 2.5.
4) after I encode all 6 parts, I will join them together using a software that does this. I can even export them all to Maestro and it will join them just fine.

As you will read, there is no undoubtful explanation why the freeze takes place. If you have 2 stick of RAM, take one out. Divide your avi into several parts and encode each one individually. If you wanna try the above scheme, go to CCE 2.5, as your CCE 2.64 will not accept VirtualDub frameserving.

Let me know how it goes. I had never had this problem myself until I bought a NTSC TRV900 miniDv camera (before I'd used PAL Digital8).
