I used to convert my SVCD to VCD (to save disc) by using Tmpge Ver 2.5.9.
It working out well at the first few times, then it started to crash...everything just freez; need the hard reboot. Then I try Off the Preview during the conversion process, well it work. It just work.

Well, don't frame me if it doesn't work on your case or this had been post before. Just wanna give a helping hand only.

My pc spec is Athlon 1.333, SDRAM 256, MSI KT133, ATA 40GB 7200, DirectX 9.
