Same here. On Windows XP Home all Flask did was crash. Locked it up a few
times. Finally took it off.

One that seems to work well for me is Pocket Divx Encoder v3.6 (freeware).
I did buy the Lathe 1.5 version ($8 or so) and it hasn't crashed and allows
me to set movies up for the Archos players and phones. Pretty cool. Oh,
Xvid is the secondary converter as it uses Divx first for me (you can select
it). Allows me to resize the WideScreen AVI video to fit the 16:9 screen of
the Archos AV-500. It'll do batch runs as well and allows you to set
various parameters (volume, saturation, brightness, contrast, as well as
video and audio rates) for each batch movie loaded.
