So it keeps happening to me that when I have many large video files in one folder and try to add it in DVD studio pro to use those files, the program either crashes or freezes. Then yesterday it happened the same thing on my movie folder. Tried to open it and it would open and close immediately. Later it got worse doing it repeatedly by itself. It was as if I had a Dell instead of a Mac. I know a bit about computers but not that much. I really need help on this. Other wise the computer just runs fine.

What kinda files are those? my guess is either there are corrupted files in that folder or they are of wrong format. I suggest you encode those video files in mpeg2 with compressor and then import in DVD studio pro.

They were in AVI format but is my believe that they were not corrupted because i was able to watch those files in pretty much any media player there is. Also it would only happenif i had more than one in any given folder. if the file was alone in a folder the program would open it without any problems. What was wierd is that the same thing happend outside DVD studio pro, with quicktime player. I had just converted a file to MPEG2 and when tried to play it the crashed. After that the folder holding my Movies wouldn't open.

Thanks for replying
