I am encoding to file and streaming live using windows media encoder and an osprey 230 card. My computer has more than enough capacity to handle the job. I can encode to file and stream without problems but when I hit the stop encode button, my entire computer reboots. It happens as if the stop encode button is the reboot button. Anyone have any ideas?

thanks

I actually came across a problem similar to yours.

A Windows 2000 system with two Osprey boards.  Only one card could be started at any given time.  If two cards are started, the system would power off instantaneously (no Windows shutdown.. it is as though someone had pulled the plug). 

In my case, I suspect it's a hardware problem.  In your case, it could be software or hardware.  I suggest you try reinstalling drivers.  Worst case scenario, maybe there is a problem with the board?  Also try installing the board into another machine.

Hi borosser / dracore

Just try using Real Producer Basic to encode the same stream, Its avail. free download of eval. copy on Realnetworks site & check if you are facing the same problem, I am sure it could be a software problem.

regards

Well mine wasn't a system reboot.  It was a hardware failure of some sort which caused the system to power off --- no graceful windows shutdown or reboot, as though someone had pulled the power from the back.

Borosser do you have 1 osprey card or more?

Hi,

You all are using WME, why don't you just give a try on Real Producer, its working fine, infact I have tested on my P-IV with 512 MB RAM, with 3 osprey cards (210, 230 & 500DV) without any problem.

Regards

Sandeep

I thought XP did not have blue screens anymore? 

What does your Windows Event Viewer report for Application/System?  Anything out of the ordinary?
