System low on memory

It’s the same issue as here: https://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/24/896574

Hi Erling.

Lots of people are having rendering issues “Low on memory” in VP9.0 and 9.0a. Editing WMV files seems to exacerbate the issue, but others have this problem even without .wmv. (I had problems with AVCHD in 9.0, but 90a resolved my problem.)

I still have to set Dynamic RAM preview to 0 (I just leave it there), reboot the machine (to defrag the paging file), close all other unnecessary applications, and kill Anti-virus/Internet Security. Then it seems to render for me. However, there are four or five other folks on this forum actively experiencing the same issue. One of them may be a problem related to using a Dell (which has non-standard parts), but the others report that this error is new to them with 9.0a (i.e., they did not experience it before).

Another thing you can do is to check your paging file, and set it at static (1.5 times the size of your RAM, both beginning and maximum settings). It has also been suggested that reloading Windows may help.

Also, most important is to report the problem to Sony, https://www.custcenter.com/cgi-bin/sonypictures.cfg/php/enduser/ask.php, so their software engineers can work on a bug fix for 9.0b. Please give them as much information as you can.

I hope this helps you.

Hi John.

This issue seems to be coming up again and again. Is there some way to make a stickie in this forum, for rendering issues with VP9/9.0a?

Stickies would be nice but this forum doesn’t have them. 🙁
