"8GB CRUCIAL DDR4 2133MHz (1 x 8GB)" X99 utilizes quad ram. Meaning, you get better results in buying sets of 4.
The current project I am working on is taxing my system with close to 6GB Memory. the convertxhd.exe was using 3.5GB memory. I suggest you buy 4 sticks of 4GB for total of 16GB RAM. (quad (4) vs 1 stick of 8GB). My CPU usage is 100%
You are pushing any system over limits with 10 FullHD conversions.
Really powerful CPU and GPU might be able to convert those files at same time, but there is no way to get required read/write speed with current hardware.
Settings at Highest will just produce huge bottleneck as your drives can't keep up with requests, eventually filling all system RAM and finally crashing.
Remember that every bit of video needs to be loaded from source, decoded, saved to temp file, loaded from temp file for encoding and finally written to destination file.

Thanks JJ for confirming the "pushing on a system" as I found out with 10 full HD conversions at one time with Highest priority. End result, convertxtohd.exe crash to desktop
Last night I was successful with my project of 10 - Season 1 episodes of Game of Thrones to one 50GB Blu-Ray disk.
Setting change was only 5 conversions vs 10 at one time and at lowest priority. Time of conversion 2:46 minutes of 9 1/2 hours of 1080 HD video flawlessly. Perfect disk. Made a second copy of 50GB Blu-Ray disk in about 25 minutes. From "burn an already converted project from a backup folder".
On to Season 2 of Game of Thrones!!! I feel ConvertXToHD will handle all my converting needs for some time. Thanks VSO for a fine product
