As an update to my entry last week, I have made no progress on burning the needed DVDs for my project. And I've run the program four times since then to burn more DVDs. Each time, while the program is still rendering, it freezes. Then I've wasted two or three hours of my time, and get nothing out of it. I've been running it on my computer twice today. The first one died after two hours, and it said it had one and a half hours to go. Then I cleaned up some spcae on my hard drive and tried again... got to eight minutes before freezing. Hear me? EIGHT MINUTES! ARHG! Four hours of rendering to shut down at eight minutes. And I still have a handful of DVDs to burn. Come on, computer, you did it once, albet at a slow pace, but don't keep glitching out on me, or I'll throw you off a cliff and then lose all internet access.

All in all, this process has grown frusterating. I'll try again tomorrow.
