Lately I have tried fair use, vidomi, and #1 dvddecrypter to make divx/xvids- and all three of those programs made my computer freeze within about 5 minutes after the encoding starts.
However, I can make a Nero Digital file taking several hours with no problem, so it doesn't seem like it is a hardware problem (overheating or such) as my box is fairly heavily overclocked (athlon 64 1.8@2.5)
What does this problem sound like?
restore the clock settings to default values and see if it still crashes.
If it does not crash, you know why...
The usual issue: people simply ignore that it IS the overclocking, bad memory or something like that which gets shown by this behaviour of XviD.
Even if memtest86 fails - XviD finds every even-just-a-little-bit broken computer.

New System Diagnostics tool was released by symantec today:
Xvid 1.1-beta2
Finds CPU errors, Memory errors, Hard disk errors and can even detect when your display is set wrong
hehehe
... and prepares some cofee too ...
seriously... it's an overclock issue.
Well that's no fun if I can't overclock! I think i'll stick to nero digital for now. I'm just backing up my kids disney dvd's. I think they won't mind ND vs XviD.
If you're happy to have an unstable system...
it's your business, man...

Depending on the motherboard, (gigabytes does) you can overclock quot;on the flyquot; in windows and go back to defaults when needed.

now this thing xvid crashing sounds familiure showthread.php?s=amp;threadid=93876 ive tried allsooooooorts run tests memory my systems not overclocked but somthing common between fairuse and autogk ie virtual dub or xvid is seriously playing up on my system during encode with fairuse a bit into the encode it comes up with unknown error#3f34820 and with autgk ti shuts down pc ive done 24 hour torture tests no problemo the only thing i know is differemt is ive recently updated agk 2.07 b and more to point maybe new 1.watever b version of xvid in bundle ive unistalled reinstaled run reg mech. to clear out sh\t no joy no more hi quality 3 film dvds for me i hear u cry ps im now suffering from hi blood pressure to top it all
Read my post once again. (Hm, this quot;too many imagesquot;-notices sucks )
For those wanting an update: it wasn't the overclock per se; it was the overclock combined with my cheap power supply. I got a new power supply (Seasonic S12-430) and my box is totally stable with the same overclock. No more problems!
@John: A very common problem. Glad you got it sorted.
XviD is better than any quot;stress testerquot; I've ever used. Boy does my box get warm on a long encode
