Yep, I tried with v1.0, and I also tried with rc2 - this is the version on the SuSE 7.3 cds which I know I had it working with. Still no luck
I must say, this problem is very weird.
I thought that that might be possibility, so I tried building with --BUILD =i386 but still have the same problem. Some times oggenc does produce a partial ogg file before the machine freezes, and this plays ok, if a little short ;-)
Interesting...
Try compiling from source, or trying someone else's RPMs. If that doesn't fix it, post back (I have something in the back of my mind).
I'm posting back - I want to know what is at the back of your mind ;-)
Well, Nik, it was in the back of my mind because it's far-fetched. It could be an overheating issue. What temperature is your CPU/case/hard drive? I've had my old PC restart at the most random times because the CPU fan stopped working... If it's all cool and good, trying running something processor intensive for an extended period of time: e.g., SETI@home or Folding@home. Oh, back to oggenc. Trying logging through strace (you might have to install this from the SuSE CDs). Command to run: strace -o oggenc_log.txt oggenc some_file.wav ...if oggenc_log.txt exists after your reboot, post it back. Maybe it has something interesting. Needless to say, your experience is not typical. I have an Athlon XP and have had no problems encoding ~1.4GiB of Ogg Vorbis files over the past ten days. -- Karol Pietrzak <noodlez84@earthlink.net> PGP KeyID: 3A1446A0
