Extracting with xvid mpeg in vdm an error ocurres. There's written that it low on memmory. Dont know exactly how cus i dont remember. The file that i want to compress is huffjuv, or either lagarith, both the same. They are extracted from ppro. Any help? Or should i post the exact error message for you to know?

ok so heres the crash details that are written in the error:

An out-of-bounds memory access (access violation) occurred in module 'huffyuv'...
...while decompressing video frame 112 with "Huffyuv v2.1.1 - CCESP Patch v0.2.5" [biCompression=55594648] (VideoSource.cpp:1627)...
...while running thread "Processing" (thread.cpp:120).

Change hufjuv to lagarith, its the same just name there is different

that error tends to happen when you don't have enough ram.

If you are running any other programs, I'd suggest quitting them before attempting to do your encoding.
if you're a bit confident with what processes should be running on your computer, then I'd also suggest turning off some of them (either by using the task manager, or the services tool avaliable from control panel, administrative tools.)

if you don't want to do that, then your other option is to buy more ram.
unless you're running an inhuman ammount of processes (with no other applications running), 1GB of ram seems to get the job done.
512MB is do-able, but as time goes on you will most likely run into this error

out of curiosity, how much ram do you have now?

I have 1gb of ram. The first time i tried to compress my 14gb lagarith file it crashed at 60%~, and i didnt run any programs them, cuz i left it compressing and gone to bed. Then i tried in morning, same. Then 2 times later with using internet. Everytime same error message. Now i got myself 300mb huffy file to test faster, and its the same (anime and encode is different). Can it be cuz of ppro? or it just vdub? or my rams are shitty (i think 1 of them are 333 and other 400+HZ (sorry i dont know exact hz number, but they are different)). But i gave that 300mb huffy file to my fr and he tried to compress on his pc with vdm. Crashed. Just forgot to ask what error message did he get. Basically, as i understand, its something with ppro or my codecs? if it could be codecs say what to do to fix them, or d/l new ones before i delete the old.
ty, w8ting for reply

Might want to try this...

Test your ram using memtest86

I had a simpler problem like this long time ago. Only difference it wasnt with encoding video it was during playing a game. One of my sticks of ram went bad. Memtest86 confirmed a bad stick of ram then all I had to do was pull out the bad stick and install a new one.
