DVD maker shuts down computer

[Orfeus]

I have recently reinstalled my windows vista home premium edition which resolved all my driver issues.

And now whenever I try to burn a DVD with vista dvd maker it shuts down the computer apparently without any reason whatsoever!

Ive never had that problem before and every DVD movie was well burned...

Any clues what could be causing this?

Im truly mistified by this...

I read that some video formats seem to do this for no apparent reason
what format are you trying to encode from?

 

[Orfeus]

i did two avi formats but i think i already burned those without problems before...

I also have the same problem when burning AVI's, and ive been meaning to inquire about this problem for a while now. Im really curious to see if there is a solution for this

 

[tocs123]

try a differant program

 

[Orfeus]

well what can you reccomend? But isnt there really some kind of trouble with the dvd maker itself?

Could it be caused by the ffdshow?

use Nero as a workaround
or you could try using the codec pack
Vista Codec Pack - 32bit & 64bit Media Player Codecs - Vista Forums

Check for a setting to shutdown on completion. I remember seeing a setting in a older version of Nero like that.

good call Michael - that setting is present in *most* DVD burning software suites....

i was gunna suggest convert x to dvd

 

[Orfeus]

actually I may have figured out what has been causing all this...
some codecs I have installed for the media player had made my cpu go much slower then before and it seems it made the computer overheat and turn off by itself...

ever since I uninstalled those codecs everythin was ok!

 

[johngalt]

A simple Codec install should not be over heating your CPU - you should check out your heatsink and make sure it is firmly attached to your CPU.

However, I will also say this - no codec package has worked for me satisfactorily like the Vista Codec package from Shark007. See http://www.vistax64.com/sound-audio/152850-vista-codec-pack-32bit-64bit-media-player-codecs.html

well john galt ur right... ive tried to burn a dvd last night with windows dvd maker and it shut down the cpu again after like an hour and a half!

 

[Orfeus]

well guess what Ive managed to burn a dvd successfully without problems but when I tried to burn another dvd it shut down itself again...

So I guess its my power supply that overheates and makes the cpu shut down for no reason!


I dont really know what to do any suggiestions by anyone?

There has to be a way to burn dvds like I used to a few months before
