Rip/Encode Crash - hardware or software?
« on: April 26, 2003, 06:32:03 am »

Ripping caused MC9 to crash HARD!

While ripping CD's MC9 (Build 9.160/9.161) crashed the system causing an immediate reboot under the following circumstances:

1- I had a CD in each of my three drives and MC9 had been set to rip all three in sucession

2- Options were set to 'Rip & Encode Simultaneously'

3- Encoding to MP3 - VBR - Quality:Custom (advanced setting: command line: --alt-preset fast standard)

Upon the system restarting I again openned MC9 and got an error message stating that I must delete everything in C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center\Data as it was "from a previous trial of MC9" and was invalid.
This occurred three times in a row.

When I reduced the number of drives used to Two (2) rather than Three (3) the problem ceased to occur.
However,
When I changed the options and removed the check from "Rip & Encode Simultaneously" the problem ceased to occur Even when Using THREE (3) Drives again.  

?

I guess it could be my system    
Too processor-intessive for too long a sustained period?
MC9 ran out of working ram? (have 1.5 GB DDR)
:-/

Any clues would be appreciated.

Since I changed the options and removed the 'rip & encode simultaneously' checkmark, the program (and my hardware  :P ) have been performing fine.

:D

Maybe I will get brave and try checking the 'rip & encode simultaneously' again ?

If it crashes again with rip/encode simultaneous checked, please try a different encoder (ape or wma) and see if it crashes. This would narrow it down to an encoding problem.

Thanks.

Of course, that makes perfect sense.
. . . I did try changing from VBR to CBR with no better luck, but will do a test sample later tonight with some other encoders.
