I have not been able to render anything other than a very short video (15 minutes or less) without my system locking up. I have a pentium 3.2, run XP, and have 3.8Gig of memory. I have a internal drive 200 with 90g free and an external with 150 gig free. I have tried to render to both.
Let me be specific! As an example, I put a 32 minute retirement party collection of video together with mostly mpg files. Plays great in the preview window but when I try to render it, it seems to work until 49% is complete then it stalls. I want to make something longer than 15 minutes. I have done this over and over with different files but as the overall length increases, the likelyhood of stalling does also. I have shut off my virus protection and disabled other services. No help. I have used an internal drive and then an external drive. No good. I have made sure that the file I am rendering to for both video and audio. I have reinstalled the program. Also, no good. Any help would be appreciated.
