Broadway shuts down but keeps encoding

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Video CD : One Thread

I have a problem with my Broadway 4.0. I capture an avi file and when I go to encode it to Video CD format I get the error message that Broadway has performed an illegal operation and is closing down. If I DON'T hit the close button it will continue encoding and if I wait till the hard drive quits running the file gets encoded. It seems as though the software is sutting down but the hardware keeps going. My question is am I getting the same quality I would be getting if this didn't happen. The results look good but could definitely be better. I can tell it's computer generated( a little fuzziness but not much blockiness) I have tried everything to find the conflict but with not much luck. If it's not affecting the quality I'm willing to live with it for the time being.
