COmputer freezes during conversion for any blu ray.

[fuzzyreets]

Alright so I went and bought a new fan today. I did get the temps to max out at 56c which is okay. But, still freezes halfway through encoding for blus. No problems with DVDs, just blus. It must not like something in my hardware. I can't ever get DVDFab to work with blus. I've been trying for about 2 years now, never works.

Hi fuzzyreets
67 degrees Celsius is equal to 152.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
There seems to be good reviews on this cooler found here

CBR929

Yeah prolly the temp is causing the problem. I've been looking at coolers. I've got to find one that doesn't require me pulling my board out though. I don't want to get into all that. Thanks for your help.

I think you are on to something here. My temperature seems to get to about 67c and things start to get weird then stop working. Can you recommend a cheaper level cooler that is quiet and will be better than the stock core i5 750 cooler? Thanks.

You say that Fab worked in your laptop but not your main computer!!!
Do you have any way of monitoring your computers temps???
Also are the specs you gave in post #1 your main computer???
CBR929

Right. Hooked up by bdrom via esata port on my laptop and no problems. Just slower.

Hadn't thought about temps. Good program to monitor that? I'm not over clocked or anything like that.

Yes specs in post 1 are from main computer. Thanks.

[CBR929]

Thanks for the above suggestions. I will try them out. To update, I was able to rip all those movies on my laptop using the same settings so I'm not sure what DVDFab doesn't like in my main computer but that seems to be the problem. I'll update tomorrow. Thanks again.

Hi fuzzyreets
This is why I suggested setting to all Software, because you have an ATI Radeon HD 5870 which does not support Cuda, only NVidia cards do.
Fab uses the Cuda technology to take some of the load off your CPU so it does not have to work so hard. And ripping to your HDD first is the recommended procedure so as to save wear and tear on your drive.

Right and I indicated above they are all on software. Also indicates above is that I did try to rip to the hard drive first but it froze my comp as well.

I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with the supported video codecs? Here is my laptop codec information:

Graphics Chipset :
Intel(R) HD Graphics

Supported Video Codecs :
DXVA_MODE_MPEG2

CoreAVC : cannot be detected.


Here is my main PC codec info:

DXVA_MODE_H264
DXVA_MODE_VC1

CoreAVC: cannot be detectec.


not sure if that means anything.....

Hi fuzzyreets
Are you also converting from the drive? If so do not do this.
Save the movie as main movie or full disc, depending on what you want too your hard drive.
Then reopen Fab and use the rip you just did as your source, choose options such as audio, subtitles, etc. and then do your converting from the rip you have on your hard drive and never from the drive.
CBR929

I tried doing this before as well. Still freezes.

[fuzzyreets]

Hi fuzzyreets
Make sure you set all options to software, to do this Open Fab click the Click the Green √ at top right corner of the DVDFab screen, and open Common Settings > General >A/V Codec, set Video Decoders to Software and set Video Encoder to Software also try unticking Enable Lightning Re-Coding restart Fab and try again.
Hope this helps
CBR929

These were all set this way. I will try unticking enable lightning....but that was enabled on my laptop where this is working...
