My system hung and required rebooting 3 times so far today.. and I

many thanks


Have you checked to make sure whatever it was you were trying to rip -
the DVD, I'd assume, was clean? And the DVD drive is clean? (That's what
caused me some grief until I realised the damn DVD I rented was a bit
'dirty')



The rip occured without problem. It was while the encoding process was
happening that the system hung - so not related to the dvd itself. Just
converting home movies aswell.. so no chance of it being any dvd
encryption playing me up either.





Are you using mencoder for the encoding.
I have had some problems with the more recent cvs versions and have had to go back to an earlier mplayer install. I kept having stalls during the rip/encoding which I do as one operation.
