I am having a problem with recode transcoding dvd files to nero digital. After about 30 seconds to 50 minutes of encoding, recode simply shuts down and exits to the desktop. No error messages, nero or windows, and no prompt for a log file. This same thing also happens in NeroVision Express when trying to transcode a divx movie to DVD (mpeg2). Recoding a full DVD to a compressed DVD-5 with recode works without a hitch, so it seems to be a transcoding problem. Have just upgraded to the newest verion of Nero including NeroVision without any change.
Backround: Recode and NeroVision used to work fine with my old system: XPsp1, Azza KT133 based motherboard, Athlon t-Bird 1.0 ghz, 512mb pc133 ram, but I had a major system meltdown and had to replace power supply, motherboard, cpu & memory.
New system:XPsp1, Gigabyte GA-7N400-L, N-Vidia N-Force 2 400 chipset, AMD Athlon XP 2600+ 333mhz, 768mb DDR 333mhz ram, Radeon 64mb DDR VIVO video card, everything else and software same as before. I am using the built in Realtek AC97 soundcard.
I have noticed that the lower i set the compression, the sooner it shuts down.(2hr movie to 1500mb nero digital file shuts down in about 30 seconds. Same movie to 800mb file lasts about 50 minutes, almost done.)

Remove nVidia IDE Drivers and go back to original M$ IDE Drivers.

Sounded good so I tried that but no effect. Still have mysterious shutdowns.

Don't have any heating problems with you CPU?

Heres the bad news reload ! Heres the good news, I had the exact same problem. And just so the folks out there knows, my PC doesn't have any heat issues... We almost of the same hardware. My problems didnt start of course until I upgraded my nero 6.6 to there latest version prior to Aug 05 updates.. I don't have a bunch of misc and outdated codecs installed and I made double sure I had no corrupted codecs... So my man in short. Reload, and keep it simple.

Peace
