toyo Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Video transcoding is not fast. But is also not supposed to crash. Your CPU might become overheated and crash from what I understand. Monitor the temps with AIDA64 or something. If the temps are high, clean the cooler and reseat it with fresh thermal compound, or buy a new cooler. The apps you tried are OK, they're not at fault your PC crashes. You can speed up the transcoding (in some programs) if you have a decent nvidia card with CUDA - the faster, the better. The quality might suffer a little, but you won't see that on the ipod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyo Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Laptops are EXTREMELY sensitive to this kind of overheating and very prone to crashes after prolonged/intensive use. They also can be cleaned though it's obviously a little more difficult. There are also special laptop coolers that could be effective. Just search for laptop cooler, notebook cooler etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazzser Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 If your video converter is using NVIDIA's CUDA, try turning off that option. That way the encoding will be slower but not stress your video hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
