High temp. during video compression...

I was compressing my DVD to fit on my 4.7 gig dvd disc using popcorn 2 when suddenly I saw the temp. of my CPU jump to 143F after few minutes!!!! so I did stop ASAP! Guys any of you can give me reason or I was doing something wrong, or Popcorn 2 is now designed esp. for dual core Macs ( Im still using my baby G4 ). Any other compressor which is good for G4 that wont toast my CPU????????

Cheers,
Eric

dont worry about that temp - i think the fans come on at 60*c or 70*c so you are ok

tip: when doing heavy work like video editing use the laptop on a desk or cooling pad. - basicaly not on a bed or lap etc..

because material almost works like a bed sheet - keeps warmth in.

yea...you might want to use Fan Control when ur doing that...its an app that lets u set the minimum speed of ur fans...

hmmmm thanks I should get those cooling pads with fan right? last time see one on Best Buy. So meaning I can push through with out toasting my cpu hugh?!

Cheers....

yea they have some good ones at staples, too.

Thanks again and will do check later on....

Cheers...

150 degrees is not enough to toast your CPU. If you were over 180 I would be worried. My macbook pro's CPU often sits at 147 degrees when all I do is web browsing. That really isnt very hot.
