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.
Go ahead, quote me. I dare you.
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.
Go ahead, quote me. I dare you.
no, i'm talking my screen goes grey, and tells me i need to restart my computer. EVERYTHING freezes.
grey screen of death?
Go ahead, quote me. I dare you.

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.
Go ahead, quote me. I dare you.
Try running AppleJack, it will likely fix the problem.

I actually narrowed it down to a particular USB device causing the crashes... Or, more accurately, the combination of that and handbrake.
Go ahead, quote me. I dare you.
