Why has TMPGEnc decided to start crashing for me??

[bonkers]

Hi

I have finally achieved a smooth properly synced SVCD with TMPGEnc12i. I know this having encoded about 20 seconds of the SVCD and burnt it to disc and it plays perfectly in my standalone player.

However, when I leave TMPGEnc encoding the full thing it moves along fine until it gets to anywhere between about 10-25% then it starts to slow and the harddisk begins to chirp and chudder. Eventually TMPGEnc stops responding or the whole computer locks up with the harddisk left like a gibbering wreck!

The mov video I am encoding is only 6mins long and earlier in the week was happily encoding the full thing, only the SVCD didn't work properly in my DVD player. I still have 1GB left on my harddisk, the same as earlier when it worked. It doesn't always crash in the same spot either...

Any ideas???Please?? I'm nearly there!!

I was having similar problems all of the sudden with version 12h. I switched to 12a from the tools section and am not having any more problems.
