2 basic things that help with RB freezing your computer

These two tricks I'm going to mention I'm sure don't affect people who have newer computers and plenty of RAM. That being said if your computer is freezing up during encoding, or conversion with any other program for that matter, these two pointers may be as big a help to you as they were to me.

1. Turn down your video acceleration.

2. Have a memory optimizer running in the background. (I use the one included with tuneup utilities but there are plenty of free ones out there)
