Vista - DVD Maker Shuts Down Computer

Using Windows Ultimate, I have added an .avi from Windows Movie Maker to
Windows DVD Maker. I start the burn process, and approximately 50% through
the encoding phase, my laptop shuts down.

It was done this twice. It's a full power-off, not just sleeping.

If there are any suggestions, please reply.

Heat issue? Encoding is quite a power intensive item.

I wish that was the answer. I used Nero instead as a workaround, since I
experienced a complete shutdown 3 times in a row now.

Quite interesting problem, never heard of it - Does the PC really initiate a
shut down or does it switch off immediately?
To troubleshoot this, my further question would be: Does the event log offer
any information what happened when the system was shut down? Any Problems
listed in Problem Report?
Nero does actually cause much trouble on Vista Systems, the first Vista
Ready version as the recent one - it's not causing problems within Nero, but
for Movie Maker & DVD Maker, so it would be interesting what happens if Nero
is removed from the system.
I had to disabled alle Codecs & Filters installed by Nero since they caused
DVD Maker to work anymore.
Not an easy-to-fix problem - if you think it's a bug you can call MS support
for free :-)
Good luck

... and good night (In europe however)

dvd maker is a flawed and broken program. it works fine on a clean windows
install (which i have had to do about 5 times with vista), but the second you
install almost any other program, driver or codec the errors come in swarms.

Could you be really specific? Exact details are usually the only great
forward path. Knowing exact details can be helpful to problem diagnosis and
resolution. =)
