Rendering problem

jdub wrote on 12/18/2001, 12:12 PM

I'm running XP on an HP 900 athlon 384 mem 45 gig hard drive. I created a 45 minute video and was rendering it to an avi dv file to record back to my dv cam. I checked the rendering an hour after I started and there was a blue screen saying I ran out of virtual memory. When I rebooted my hard drive was not recognized and it was clicking. I had to scrap the hard drive and buy another one. I want to render this file again. Should I break it up into smaller sections to render? If I do, can I select multiple files to print back to tape, or do I just have to print them separately and have a jump in the video where I patched them? Thanks

Two questions:

1) are you using Windows 98/ME with FAT 32, or are you using Windows
2000/NT/XP with NTFS?

2) are you using the latest version of Video Factory, 2.0a build 91 with
Video Capture 2.5?

If you are using FAT 32, you have a file size limit of about 4GB. If this
is the case and you're using the latest version of VF, then VF will
automatically split the rendered output file into 4GB sections for you, and
VC will automatically splice them back together seamlessly when printing
to tape.

If you're not using the latest version of VF, you should download it. There
are lots of good bug fixes as well as the auto-file-split capability.

If you're using NTFS, then you don't have to worry about splitting your
files. NTFS can handle files much bigger than your hard drive.

I'm using Windows XP with NTFS. And I am using Videofactory 1.0. I noticed after I switched to ntfs that when I went into capture on the bottom right instead of 20 minutes of capture time it said I had over 2 hours. Also, in 2.0 even if I'm not running FAT32 can I have videofactory split the file up for rendering and then piece it back when I print?
Thanks
