Thanks, I think that's similar to what I used, and being crossplatform is
nice. I tried it on both Ubuntu & Windows, and no failure. I didn't run on
either OS for very long however. I may have to let it run overnight and also
let memtest86 finish its testing in an overnight run.


I will have to dig deeper in this. I did find some others complaining about
similar things (maybe a Ubuntu-specific thing that other Linux distros and
Windows do not have), but some of these people are saying it happens all the
time to them (even just playing a movie on YouTube for instance), and mine
has only happened about and hour or two into transcode via dvd::rip.

I installed acidrip, and it finishes much,much quicker anyway (with default
settings), so I'm going to use that instead. I still have over 5 months to
determine if I *really* want to go to the trouble of a return. The return
itself won't be so bad, but re-installing everything would be a drag.
