    DVD to Mobile - pegs cpu 100% brings system to crawl - fails

    Hi...
    I'm fairly new to DVDFab... I tried the trial version... seed to work without a hitch or any problems during trial version... for several dvd to dvd burns... and for dvd to mobile (ipod) burns...

    my trial period expired... and I thought that the program was great and easy to use... so I went ahead and purchased the dvd to dvd and dvd to mobile options...

    however, now I'm having a major issue...

    I'm trying to burn a dvd using the dvd to mobile (ipod) option... it pegs my cpu utilization to 100%... and renders my system unusable... and even locks it up completely... I even tried to run it over night... it froze... and required a hard reboot in the morning...

    I looked at the help us help you document...

    stage 1 (dvd to folder) worked fine...

    stage 2 repeated the same symptoms...

    my system:
    Dell Intel Core 2 Do CPU
    T9800 @ 2.93GHz
    3.45 GB Ram
    Microsoft XP Professional SP3

    DVD I'm trying to put on my ipod - AJ The Truth about Golf

    I'm using the original DVD that I purchased...

    I used all the default settings for DVD to Mobile (ipod/iphone)

    only 2 log files in the dvdfab\log directory..

    here are the relevant entries: (these seem to be from the sucessful dvd to folder rip...)

    What version are you using? If not 6.1.2.5, please download that, install and try it then report back.

      Conversions to MPEG-4 are CPU intensive. You can try changing the conversion memory allocation settings and unchecking the enable turbo CPU box in Common Settings->XtoMobile->Conversion. This may free up some resources but will slow down the conversion. Multitasking is really not recommended while encoding. Make sure you haven't selected a screen resolution that is larger than what you need for an iPod (320x240).

        On another note, I presume from your post that you are doing this the best way. If you have not, please have a read of my "Best Practice: DVD to Mobile" in the forum Knowledgebase to ensure that you are.

        I have found that some low volume pressings, as I suspect the disk you mention is, suffer from very poor DVD authoring and DVD specification compliance and this can also cause the problem that you are encountering.

        Please do a test with a normal commercial title to prove whether this appears to be the case.

        If so, the only way that I have found around the problem is to rip the offending disk to hard disk as you have done, reauthor the DVD (I use ULead Video Studio, free trial available), produce a compliant ISO file and then run DVD to Mobile on the ISO.

          Thanx Gregiboy... I will read that doc... and try your suggestions and get back to you...

          ps... I suspect you are on the right track... as the dvd seems to be 'low budget'...

          and I was able to dvd-mobile a "good" dvd just fine...

          ps... I am using the current version... 6.1.2.5

          I'll get back to you soon...
          thanx again for the fast response...
