    I would check your power settings first. Your PC might think that it is is unattended while processing your movie and shutting itself down.

    Shrink uses 100% of your resources. You may be overheating.

    Thank you all so much.I have tried shrinking movies while muli-tasking and not multi-tasking.I have tried to shrink movies with only dvd shrink running.So the good thing is that I tried shrinking the new Katt Williams 'It's Pimpin' Pimpin' and it worked just fine.Shortly after that (With no other programs or other folders open)i tried to shrink "This Christmas".Sure enough somewhere in the middle of doing that my computer just shutdown. :-(. Somebody please help me!!!!!

    Have you checked the inside of your computer for dust buildup and to see if all the fans are working?

    I haven't check the fans yet but i will. The funny thing is that it shut off on one movie then i tried a different movie and it didn't shut off.then i tried a totally different like "journey to the center of the earth" movie then it shut off again.it always seems to happen somewhere about half way thru.Maybe it's something that DVD FAB is doing or not doing to the movie?or maybe there's a replacement for dvd shrink?i hope not because i like them both but if so i'm always open to new things.THANKS again everyone sooo much. -p.s. i will check the fans-

    Make sure all air vents are free from dust too.
