Vegas Video: Could not allocate memory for fraps codec
“could not allocate memory for fraps codec”
This is the critical error I get while rendering.
Sony Vegas 5.0
Source files were captured using Fraps 2.8.2 at 1280 x 768 widescreen and total about 24gb (I’ve rendered larger files before)
Compressing using WMV9I have rendered other movies in the past and never received this error. I have never rendered files that were captured at this resolution however. The render stops at random points sometimes 1% in, sometimes 70%. When I watch back the file it created it looks fine.
I have plenty of memory 2gb, plenty of free HD space 50+gb, virtual memory is set high and memory is allocated for Vegas specifically.
I tried lowering the resoltion of the output file to 3/4 size and got the same error.
I found a post suggesting to use “DVI NTSC” for quality selection. However I don’t see anything for this I tried using “Double NTSC” still had same error.
At a loss now anyone have an idea?

I had a similar problem last week (I use Vegas 5 still too) I keep thinking that one of a couple of things could be wrong. Either my windows swap space is too small (shouldn’t be a problem, but MS keeps you on your toes) or perhaps the amount of memory set for RAM previews inside of Vegas is too big and it’s choking itself.

I was eventually able to render my video but I had to split it up into sections I could not get the whole project to render at once. I Weird thing is I never had this issue before the only difference is the resolution of the original files I’m trying to render. And even though they are a biggere res the file size in total is smaller.
Since cutting up the project into smaller parts worked it must be some type of memory issue. But what?
