Screen Burn at DVinfo.net

I'm not sure where to post this, so I've stuck it in open discussion.

I'm having some trouble dealing with screen burn on a project. I'm attemptng to place a video over a screen that I have filmed using after effects and the tracking controls. It begins working ok, but after a few minutes of work I get a blue screen of death, my computer shuts down and I'm forced to try again.

Time is a factor, so I'd like to know if I can (rather than fixing this) use a different program.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Does anyone know of any good tracker plugins for after effects, or how to use the tracker for this type of effect in Combustion?

in combustion you can use the 4 corner pinning & tracking on the 4 corners of a object ( say TV screen in clip #1 ) then apply that data to the image ( 2nd clip/graphic- it will size it and move it to fit in TV screen ) you want to put in TV screen in clip 1 ... i believe you can also export the tracking data to AE ...

do you know how to use combustion ?

Yeah, I've got a basic understanding of combustion. Actually, the effect doesn't even cause my computer to crash when I do it in combustion.

Thanks for the advice.
