I get as far as using REMPEG2 to encode the files into a m2v file and leave it overnight but when I wake up in the morning I find that ReMPEG2 has crashed when running under XP Professional. I am using an AMD Athlon XP1700+ with 512Mb Ram and there is about 12Gb free on my hard drive. I've closed down all screensavers and ancillary programs (anti virus, firewall etc)but to no avail. Has anyone seen this before or know of any fixes etc. Cheers for your help (in advance )
