Instant Copy Reboot my computer

[KeepWalking]

I am trying to convert a film for dvd with instant CoPy 8.251 (dvd-9 to dvd-5). I make the process all normally but when it is almost finishing to convert the film the computer reboot without any reason.

I ripped the files with dvddecrypt.

What's happening? Any help??

Hi KeepWalking!

welcome to the forum!

Does this only happen with a certain DVD or with any DVD you try ?
I havent heard of such an issue before, so i cant provide an instant solution.
If this happens with any dvd you try, it might be possible the installation of
IC8 got corrupted somehow, so it might be worth a try to uninstall and reinstall IC8. If its only on a certain disc, please provide which disc is causing this issue, so someone who owns the same disc, eventually could provide help here!

Thanks for the tips,

the problem occurred with 2 dvds. About the beginning also I thought
that it was of dvd, but tried with another one dvd and occurred
problem the same. I find that the IC8 also is not therefore already
reinstalled and did not advance, I tried with the IC7 and occurred
problem the same. I did not arrive to format the HD and to reinstall
windows again xp, but I am almost making this if not to find solution.

The DVDs that I used in the tests had been
Matrix Reloaded (R4)
Indiana Jones (R4).

Hi Keepwalking,
I was checking all the forums that i could for the pass few months on this subject and was wondering (and must ask the question) have you found a solution on this issue?
I too have been dealing with this problem for a while. on serveral occassion (4x I can remeber)I have been forced to reformat. Uninstalling/re-installing does'nt work. I'm no puter guru, but Can some one tell what I should be looking for if I totally remove IC7 from my puter run serch in my comp & registery with no hits found for pinnacle software. there's got to be something or some one who knows the answer.
and guys take it easy on me I'm a noob!!

Yes, I can solve this problem.

First I update the driver of my Nvidia Video Card to latest version of Detonator drives. www.nvidia.com
Secound in BIOS setup I disable a option for 'overclock' of memory. I change to NORMAL again. My motherboard (Soyo Dragon Plus) has 2 options NORMAL and TURBO.

All is fine now.

Hey Joel,
sry about the late reply my work has me tied-up !!

Although I'm not overclocking! I will assume that the problem might point to a memory issue if all you did was make an adjustment to memory in your bios.As for the vid driver's I am current so I don't see that as a prob,unless their corrupted (hmmmm). I post again w/ my results.

thanks....

Me too...

I also have problem with backing up one of mine DVD`s.
Instant copy crashes (does not reboot) at approx. 274 MB`s AND WINDOWS IS SORRY FOR THE INCONVINIANCE.... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH...
Over and over...

This happens only with one of mine DVD`s authored with TMPGENC DVD author.

Few more bugfixes might make this remarkable piece of software THE BEST!!!

One more thing to keep in mind.If you get crashes/rebooting during the transcoding process it can be heat related.The transcoding process is very CPU intensive,and may cause overheating.AMD chips are the most susceptible to this behaviour.

Woody is my friend...

Me again...
My oh my... susceptible... that is the word I haven`t heard for a long time...
Just kidding... like in the MATRIX RELOADED ... ergo... visa vie...

My AMD BURTON 2500+ should not be so `susceptible` at all. Retail BOX package and 3 year guarantie... 512MB DDR... RADEON 9200 ViVo... ASUS A7N8... 60 & 80 GB HDD... guess NOT.

And finally, I was just making image of my own production and that thing happens EVERY TIME AT THE EXACT SAME POSITION...
BUG MAYBE???

Was referring to first post in this thread.Maybe yours is a bug.

I have read on other forums of overheating problems causing reboots during transcoding.Also,as mentioned in another thread,avoid virtual drives,and Packet writing software.

I have had problems with IC8 crashing and hanging. Almost never a reboot though. The majority of my problems have been solved by doing the following just before using IC8 (same goes for IC7):

1) Perform a cold boot (ie power down and restart). Not sure why it has to be a cold boot vs just a restart, but I can't argue with success.

2) Turn off all tasks that are not required for a minimal windows boot.

This means not just disabling your antivirus, but sutting it completely off!
No mouse button assignment software!
No firewall (physically disconnect from you internet source if this is a problem)!
Nothing extra!

IC is very sensitive about having anything running. I have Windown 98SE and anything more than Explorer, Systray, and Rundll (display settings) active and I experience problems.

I am not very familiar with XP yet so I have no idea what the minimal tasks are, but a program called ENDITALL is suppose to take care of shutting down the extra ones while protecting the basic system tasks (I works for Win98 also).

I hope this helps.

Using Windows 98 for video encoding is equivalent to competing to a F-1 race with a VW Beatle... Encoding is very demanding- needs at least pure 32-bit processing (dual CPU's and/or 64-bit processing are welcome of course), and not the ancient 16-bit core code of W98, 98SE, ME or any other MS-DOS in disguise. The most you can do with these is playing a couple of not-so-demanding games.

 

[Dnd4evr]

gee, what a warm reply! You must be in public relations. I thought the whole point of this forum was communication and help, not slamming other people or their equipment.

I'm sure my system is well below what you consider a minimum, but it gets the job done. Since I started burning DVD's, I have made only 1 coaster (RW's are a lot smarter than hoping you won't have a problem). As you said, the tough part is the encoding. Once its done, copying the result is easy.

Is my system slow when burning DVD's? Depends on what you need. On average I burn less than 1 DVD a week so speed isn't an issue for me.

Will I ever move up to Microsofts latest bloatware? Sure, when I need to. I will be building a near bleeding edge system for DOOM 3 when it comes out. Until then this sytem happily runs UT2003, Halo and other "not-so-demanding games".

 

[scarecrow]

I'm pretty sure your computer should be faster than my aged PIII 800/512 RAM. Unlucky me have to begin encoding and come back after 10-12 hours, while you being on 98 will not have to wait at all: You will get your BSOD after just a few minutes.
Win 98 is not "equipment"- it is just a very bad habbit. But since it seems impossible to persuade you, go on enjoying your crashes and blaming them on the software. One of these days you might turn out to be right, after all, and all encoding being performed under DOS- either plain, or GUI'ed (AKA Windblows 98 any edition). With hindsight 16-bits processing may be the way, the lesser bits the CPU processes the lesser its chances to go wrong!
What about a pure 2-bit processing? You wouldn't even need a computer, just the right firmware and one transistor...

Try Going to start tab on your desktop click go to run and type in msconfig
you will then see a large box .
click start up tab on the right then select disable all and re.boot
try to copy your film now if still does not work spyware can be the cause
Good Luck

gee, what a warm reply! You must be in public relations. ...

sometimes our Senior is a little bit harsh in answering and he cannot resist to be a scaremember;
about the facts he is right, you won't go back to W9x if you ever tried W2k (XP is not my love); don't take it personally;

[Dnd4evr]

The slam was at the OS so I didn't take it totally personaly. I was trying to give what I hoped would be helpful information in my original post. In responce I get attitude that felt like...

"your equipment is inferior so why did you even bother posting."

That's not very helpful in a forum. Especially when I'm not the person having the problem. I'm also sure I'm not the only person running 98. A better responce might have been...

"Glad you were able to work around your problems, but you might want to consider switching over to XP because..."

See the difference? I'm sure the technical reasons are correct (though he did mentioned 64 bit processing when Windows is only 32), but I don't have a need, desire or unwanted cash to upgrade right now. The attitude will also tend to discourage people from posting.

By the way, I'm on a lowly P3 1GHz and it finished encoding my last DVD in approx. 3 hours.

One more thing. IC doesn't like hyperthreading which emulates 2 processors. Has anyone heard of IC working on a true dual processor system? I am curious.
