Thanks. I can’t see many suppliers of the Pioneer BDR-208 here in the UK but the BDR-207 seems widely available and similar price to the LG I was looking at. Is the BDR-207 good?
As for the media, how’s Panasonic. Found a pretty good deal on 10 packs.

Well, after much reading and playing with things, I have find found a solution.
I had turned off GPU acceleration and tweaked the Dynanmic RAM Preview setting before, but I tried a few different variations.
Now, I have GPU off and Dynamic RAM at 150mb and its perfect. No freezes and seems to render in any format I ask! If I take it any higher (or lower) the freezes come back…..
At least I am sorted for now.
Thanks all

Still on 11 for now. 12 was last resort really.

Ok, so tonight I tried again. The PC had been off all day and it was cool in the house. Tried to set it off on a render straight after booting up, and it got to 62% and just stopped again. Once again, it was at a different place to the other times its locked up. The time remaining countdown carries on, but the preview is stuck on a particular frame. The rest of the PC is useable. You can cancel the render at that point, and it says render cancelled but its then locked up.
Kept an eye on the CPU temps and they were running around 30c and peaked at around 37c. Case temps also seemed fine and stable.
As I say, when it freezes, CPU use drops down to 0% but memory use is still up at 90%+ until you kill the application in task manager, then the memory is freed up.
It’s mega frustrating.

The PC is only about a month old, so no dust. Cooling is good, I have a coolermast hyper 212+ on the cpu and nice case fans. The CPU doesn’t seem to get too hot.
Wondering what I should be focusing the render on for best quality from the Kodak .mov files (shot at 1080). For viewing on a PC for now, but once its finished I want to try and burn to a bluray.
