I have been trying for days to convert some avis using (at first) Convert x to dvd - latest version, which is the program I have used for ages and ages with very few problems.

Suddenly it stopped converting any files past the 20 - 30% mark and freezes my PC (AMD Sempron 2gig / 256meg RAM) to the point you can't even do the old ALT/CNTRL/DEL.

Because of these problems I have tried the following:

1. Tried Other Conversion Programs (DVDFlick, Xllsoft, Allok, Easy Video Converter, Nero 8) - among others. All did the same - froze PC at 20-30%.

2. Freed up space on my computer - Still the same.

3. Scanned my computer - Still the same.

4. Used Directshow filter manager to look at my codecs. - Still the same.

If anyone can help me with this problem I would be extremely grateful.

PS. Here's the crash log for more info:-
