Does Handbrake crash anyone else's mac? - iPhone 3G

acosmichippo · 05-26-2008, 12:49 AM

happens to me ALL THE TIME if i'm multitasking, but if i let it go overnight, it works ok. starting to get really annoying. Haven't quite narrowed it down much beyond that.

too bad, because i really like the features.

nope, haven't experienced this at all. have you tried uninstalling it and then re-installing? hope you find out what's causing this - i really like handbrake and find it incredibly useful...

yeah, i guess i could try that... worth a shot.

When you say Handbrake crash, are you referring to a kernel panic (the endless spinning beachball) that can only be resolved by a force quit of Handbrake?

no, i'm talking my screen goes grey, and tells me i need to restart my computer. EVERYTHING freezes.

grey screen of death?

yeah... would you say it's safe to send reports to apple about this?

since ripping my DVDs is technically illegal, i haven't been doing that.
