"Out of Memory" error.
Win7 SP1
When transcoding a DVD I got the error "out of memory". I use Nero 8. I cold booted the computer and this fixed it. Is there a way to "free up" this memory without a boot operation. I typically cold boot only once per week. Peter |

I've transcoded 4 blu-ray movies at the same time and never got such a
message. Time for a new computer. Yousuf Khan wrote: On 13/07/2012 11:16 PM, Peter Jason wrote: Win7 SP1 When transcoding a DVD I got the error "out of memory". I use Nero 8.

Click the memory tab. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ce_Monitor.png Paul Sorry, hit the send before including the picture of the memory tab. http://www.sevenforums.com/attachmen...memory_tab.jpg Resource Monitor doesn't tell you everything, but it's a start. If you look for "Sysinternals", "Mark Russinovich", "PoolMon", or even articles on WinDBG, there may be ways to probe further into memory usage. But it's not something I know well enough, to write a book on. Ideally, you want the Nero program to give you a better error message, to save wasted efforts with other tools (to tell what kind of memory it ran out of). There are multiple memory resources in the OS, and some are a lot smaller than others. Yousuf has given you one example. Paul |

I typically cold boot only once per week. "Cold boot" means to shut down power, wait a few seconds, and then restart. Did you do that, or did you click the start button and then Restart? The latter should be sufficient. The problem is that programs are often sloppily written: they get resources from Windows and then fail to return them. "Out of memory" doesn't necessarily mean RAM and virtual memory on disk; it can also mean other system resources. A restart frees up everything. That said, you should probably check virtual memory to make sure that it is system managed.

I've always rather vaguely said "system resources", but this is much more specific. Anyone know of other such resource limitations, particularly if they can be adjusted? -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com Shikata ga nai... |

Click the memory tab. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ce_Monitor.png Paul Thanks, I have tried this when transcoding but for Nero8 the CPU never goes above about 25% (i7 6core) total. However when I transcode with the Adobe PremierProCS4 (home movies etc) the dials all slam up against the 100% mark, and I have to put the CPU fan up to 'high'. Maybe its just the number of applications on the go at once. Peter |
