Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 crashing when exporting to MP2

[jezza7777777]

MY PROJECT:

26 hours of HD footage captured from Canon XH-A1. My system/project specs are:
- Intel Quad Core Q6600 2.4Ghz CPU
- 2Gb RAM
- 4 X 500gb SATA 2 Drives
- At least 80 GIGS of head room on each drive
- Windows XP
- 25P
- Project located on C:
- Media Cache files located on D:
- Project video files located on K:

I am trying to export my 96 minute project to XP 2. It generally reaches Phase 2, but then either:

a) Crashes with generic error message "has encountered and error and will have to shut down"
b) Shuts down without an error message
c) Freezes

I have spent literally days of my life waiting around for this, and yes it has reaches as far as 80% on phase 2 (which took approximately 7 hours or so to occur) and then the program crashes.

Any suggestions? I have made a new account for Windows hoping this may help.

Cheers,
Jeremy.

Is anything overclocked or everything at default? Is the system Prime stable?

[jezza7777777]

No, system is stable and not overclocked.

Hi try this.


In the Control Panel window, open System.


In the System Properties window, click on the Advanced tab.


Locate the Startup and Recovery area and click on the Settings button.


In the Startup and Recovery window, locate and uncheck the check box next to Automatically restart.


Click OK in the Startup and Recovery window.


Click OK in the System Properties window.


From now on, when a problem causes a BSOD or another major error that halts the system, the PC will not automatically reboot. Rebooting manually will be necessary.

Ok will do.

If anyone else has ANY other suggestions/tips please let me know...
