I got this program and I am liking it so far, I didn't have enough RAM initially so I bumped it up to 3GB's. However I am still experiencing some problems such as: Crashes during simulation occasionally(possibly due to Ultra Mon running???) Output DVD's ocassionally have jumps (even with content <4.7GB). Any ideas on why the problems? STATS: Verbatim DVD-R 20X Sony NEC Optiarc Drive ATI Radeon X300/X550/X1050 Series K-Lite Codec Pack Running Dual monitors during authoring and encoding (UltraMon) Burning at 4X speed Microsfot Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3 Intel Pentium D CPU 3.00 Ghz 2.99 Ghz, 3.0 GB RAM NOTES: -Software website says requirements are Pentium 4 2.4 GHz (HT Technology) or better. Not sure if this is the problem (thought D was better). -Also I didn't make any adjustments to the BIOS or anything after installing new RAM, that could be it to (should I make adjustments after new RAM?). -I don't multitask during encoding, I start it and don't touch the computer till its done burning.
It's doubtful it has anything to do with the CPU. All that does is slow the whole process down. The best bet it to play the content (video_ts folder) before you cut the disk. That way, you don't waste media. 2nd option is to use DVD RW, so you reuse them.
