DVD2SVCD Crashes

[ichibanboy]

I have attempted to find a similar post on this exact subject but have failed. I apologize if this an over visited issue, but alas I searched and read and searched and read. I have four machines running DVD2SVCD and have been experiencing a computer reset issue with two of the machines at the very same spot (so it seems) in the dvd2svcd_log.txt file which I will copy to this post.

Thank you!

My Machines are using a

Machine 1:
ECS K7S5A Main board
AMD 2400 +
512 MB DDR
Windows XP PRO

Machine 2:
ECS K7S5A Main board
AMD 2000
512 MB PC133
Windows XP Pro

During the conversion process both machines restart (or crash.

The Log file for Machine 1 is as follows:

WARNING! You seem to be using "Norton Unerase Protection" and
you want to delete the temporary files created by dvd2svcd.
This can cause DVD2SVCD problems. Even though DVD2SVCD deletes
the temporary files, Norton doesn't, therefore DVD2SVCD
might run into diskspace problems. I suggest that you stop the
"Norton Unerase Protection" Service.

This is almost certainly a hardware issue.
Look at Q53 of the Q+A sticky and try the tools linked to test system stability.

BeSweet and CCE load your system to the limit, so even if it runs solid as a rock when running resource-light programs like office suites, any minor flaw will show straight up under this sort of loading.

Flaky RAM or CPU are common, or it may be a cooling issue. When the system resets, go into the BIOS and look at the hardware monitor. If CPU temp is off the scale, you've found your problem.

Mmmm, do both machines crash at the same point with the same DVD?
If yes, is BeSweet able to find the max gain and start transcoding?

Try writting a bat file pasting the BeSweet command line and see what happens
