Sequence-RenderOnly-Mixdown crashes - Out Of Memory

Out of Memory trying to use FCE Sequence->RenderOnly->Mixdown.
The video that crashes is 19:30 min in length (and others as well). Plenty of memory (actual=3GB: recognized as 2GB: SysSettings->Memory&Cache shows 1649Mb = 90%); Plenty of disk set as FCE Scratch - external FW400 drive with 228Gb available.
Deleted the Scratch Audio cache folders before trying the mixdown.
Suggestions?

Thanks for your suggestions.
I am running FCE 3.0.1 and QT 7.1.2.
Yesterday I tried importing the raw files in two ways: (1)through MackTheRipper and (2)through the linux box/copying across the net. DropDV seems to be the only way to convert the raw files to .dv, so I used it. At that point QT can play the individual .dv files with no problem. FCE can open both sets of .dv files, and the waveform shows sound is present (which dragging the pointer along the timeline confirms.) FCE can play the individual .dv files through the Viewer with no problem.
I added everything to the Timeline and started an audio mixdown. When FCE gave the OutOfMemory error, I ran vmmap through Terminal, and the process showed 3Gb from malloc (YIKES!), so I guess that it really is Out Of Memory!
At your suggestion, I downloaded a copy of Cocktail and restarted. FCE again crashes with the same OOM error after ten minutes or so.
This whole problem started because of audio dropouts in completed QT files. Unfortunately, I have pitched the .dv file sets for the projects that have completed successfully without the Mixdown - it would be informative to know whether Mixdown would work on them.
I guess the next step seems to be to deepsix FCE and reinstall. (This is beginning to remind me of microsoft products...)

Manager keeps crashing - out of memory

I'm getting tired of restarting oc4j due to it running out of memory. It seems I can work in the manager for a day or two and it crashes. I've increased the MaxPermSize from 512 to 1024, but that still isn't working. I'm sure I'm not the only one running into this since it's happening on more than one OVM environment. What are the typical configuration changes made to the manager either using the manager template or manager installer?

Very interesting Avi. How much of the 12 GB of RAM are actually used? I'm using 2 since that's what the documentation called out. I suspect if I increase the RAM it would work better, which means to me the minimum requirements need to be increased.No idea, I'm afraid. We've never had a cause to look at the memory usage of that server, as we've never had any issues with it. I'm at home at the moment (ah, timezones) and it's a long weekend, so I'll only be back onsite next Tuesday.

InDesign CS 6 keeps crashing "out of memory" ???

Hi
I am having trouble with InDesign CS 6.
It does not respond. I can open a document, but as soon as I select a tool it starts hanging. I then have to use Windows task manager to end CS 6.
After the 5th time of ending CS 6 and receiving the message "Adobe InDesign is out of memory " I updated InDesign and recieved the following error code:
Adobe Extension Manager CS5 5.0 Update
Update is not applicable. Error Code: U44M1P28.
InDesign is still hanging and I still have to use Windows task manager to quit the program.
Would it help if I reinstall InDesign?
This has never happend to me before.
Please help me with this, I have extreme amounts of work that needs to be completed this weekend as I am on a tight deadline for Monday morning
(OS: Windows 8)

OS? Are you patched to 8.0.2? Have you tried trashing the prefs? See Replace Your Preferences

Internet Explorer 5.1.7 Freezing / crashing/ out of memory

I have regular crashes, randomly from 5 to 120 mins when on the internet.
I have a G3 blue and white with 350mhz processor running 9.2.2 with 512Mb ram. Internet Explorer 5.1.7.
I have always had problems with crashing on this machine even from new when it originally ran an earlier Os9 and earlier Internet Explorer software on dial up 56k.I am now on Broadband.
I cannot explain why i get these crashes so frequently. I have tried giving internet explorer program 50Mb of ram.I have adjusted cache size ranging from zero (broadband) up to 50Mb.I have played around with virtual memory on/off, but still i have crashes. I have all the relevant software updates for my machine also.
If it does not freeze completely then it exits from Explorer and i get Type 2 or Type 3 errors and have to restart the machine instead.
Could it be that i have problems with my Ram installed in my machine ?
I have tried running my machine with only Mac Os base extensions installed but this also crashes regularly.
I have also wiped my hard drive and done fresh installations but i still have problems.
Please Help ! before i pull out or my hair or throw my machine out the window and buy a Windows PC ( Insanity setting in ).

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
This may be of some help: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106874
Have you tried another browser?
I found IE 5.1.7 better than earlier versions but still prone to crash so changed to WaMCom from http://wamcom.org/ and got much better results (it is based on Mozilla 1.3.1).
Some prefer iCab 3.0 from http://www.icab.de/
Every Mac browser is listed here: http://darrel.knutson.com/mac/www/browsers.html

JEditorPane crashing( Out of Memory )

I'm trying to display an html document that is about 3MB, everytime I try it crashes, if I cut the size down to about 400KB it loads fine.
Is there some kind of limit to the size of a file the editorpane can handle?
         // load the class the creates the file
         LeadGenerator lg = new LeadGenerator();
        // get the editorPane from the report creator class.
     JScrollPane scrollPane = lg.getReport();
     scrollPane.setBounds(0, 0, dim.width,dim.height);
     jDesktopPane.add(scrollPane);
// code snippet from the report creator class
public void LeadGenerator{
// user picks a file name "f"
for( loop till the input file is done ){
     out.write("</BODY>"+"\r\n");
     out.write("</HTML>"+"\r\n");
     out.flush();
     out.close();
// method that returns the report in a scroll pane.
public JScrollPane getReport(){
          JScrollPane scrollPane = null;
          JEditorPane htmlWindow = new JEditorPane();

               System.out.println(reportPage);
               if (reportPage != null) {
                    try {
                         htmlWindow.setPage(reportPage);
                    } catch (java.io.IOException e) {
                         javax.swing.JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
                                   e.getLocalizedMessage());
                         e.printStackTrace();
               } else {
                    javax.swing.JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "File not found ");

               scrollPane.setVisible(true);
          }catch(MalformedURLException mfe){}
          return scrollPane;

Is there some kind of limit to the size of a file the
editorpane can handle?I don't think so.

Pcdrcui.exe crashes out of memory

I've expanded the machine to 12 GB of memory.
PCDRCUI.EXE consumes all available memory and then crashes. Off hand I do not think this is proper behavior.

Hi, Wizardess
I did some research and found this thread from Microsoft that may help. This .exe is a part of PC Doctor, which has caused issues like this on other user's machines. The Microsoft thread pretty much recommends uninstalling the program, which, if you do not use it, might not be a bad idea, in my opinion. There are also some other suggestions available on the thread if you would like to try those.
Hope it helps,
Adam

Can't open sequence - out of memory!

Hi,
I put a long HD clip onto a sequence and my computer couldn't handle it. I couldn't edit the sequence without getting "error: out of memory" messages. I closed the sequence and now I can't open it because of the lack of memory.
I saved changes to my project (stupid I know, but there were previous changes I wanted to keep) and closed my project. Now I can't open that sequence at all.
I closed all other apps, I rebooted, I made sure my scratch disk had plenty of space, but I still can't open it up to delete the clip! Error: Out of memory. i have 1.25gigs of ram installed, but I don't really want to upgrade.
Does any one have any hot tips before I have to take my project to another mac with more memory?
Cheers

Let me try a couple suggestions. I assume you can open FCE without problem, while you cannot open that specific project.
- Have you checked the Memory Usage in System Preferences ? if you have enough RAM the Application value should be 100%; if not, increase this value.
- The Still Cache in the same panel refers to additional memory used for stills: by temporarily reducing this you might be able to add more memory to the application (as above)
(BTW: is it possible that you added too many stills, and the problem is the still cache itself ? - if so do the opposite: increase Still Cache till you can open the project again)
- The Thumbnail Cache uses application memory: again, by temporarily reducing it to the minimum (probably 0) you add some memory to the application.
I hope one of these suggestions work with you.

FCP 6 Sequence not opening, "out of memory"

Hi,
I'm running FCP 6.0.6 on a 2010 Macbook Pro with 8gb ram, 500gb int hd and 1tb ext hd. OS is 10.6.8. I don't see the canvas or timeline when I start FCP and when I click on sequence I get "error-out of memory". I have deleted all projects and everything I could find from old work. I used a ram checking program and checked disk permissions all seemed ok. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris

#44: FCP acting weird - Trash Prefs
Shane's Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should
If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion: http://www.digitalrebellion.com
2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

Running out of memory - where do I not free objects?

Hello there,
I am analyzing data on an Itanium with 1GB of memory using the JSDK 1.4 (Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-beta-b19)). I have a lot of memory troubles reading data as small as 120MB and processing it (using the Pattern class and ArrayList or static String array), so I wrote this little program to test the memory:
               print("Starting memcheck - press key...");
               int border= 100000;
               int bCount = border;
               int limit = 18000000;
               String tst = new String("Hi, Tester!");
               System.in.read();
               print("Key for 1-String-Buffer...");
               System.in.read();
               StringBuffer checkSt = new StringBuffer(limit*tst.length());
               print("1-String-Buffer created. Key for clearance...");
               System.in.read();
               checkSt = null;
               System.gc();
               print("Key for Strings...");
               System.in.read();
               String [] checkS = new String[limit];
               for (int i=0; i<limit; i++) {
                    checkS[i] = (new String(tst));
                    if (--bCount == 0) {
                         bCount = border;
                         print("Created: "+i+" strings!");
               print("Strings created. Key for clearance...");
               System.in.read();
               checkS = null;
               System.gc();As I originally thought, this only uses about 800MB with the static String array, 471MB with the StringBuffer, and crashes (out of memory) when being permitted up to 1000MB with ArrayList.
The odd thing is though, that when I put the part with the static String array after the StringBuffer part, it crashes too (out of memory). So I guess, that I have not fully understood how to free memory in java yet and that I am overlooking something here - can someone please help me? I have already tried for more than a week to fix this problem, but I must be overlooking the obvious...
According to my math, if I read 100MB, it should at most use 2*100MB+overhead (2* because of Java's internal unicode representation). Where am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Rendering Out of Memory Error

Why when I render large parts of sequences do I get "Out Of Memory Errors". This bombs out my render.

& Uh, I know there's a "chalkboard" font. My question was more to the point of how to "animate" it properly.< </div>
Not really, that's just the error message that FCP pukes up for you. FCP has no intelligent diagnostics and the errors are totally misleading and inaccurate.
the other boys are trying to help you using verbal shorthand that not all newbies understand. That's one of the may ways in which we figure out they're new.

RoboHelp 9 gives an out of memory error and crashes when I try to import or link a Frame 10 file or

I have Tech Suite 3. If I start a new RoboHelp project and try to import or link Frame files, RoboHelp tries for a while, then I get an Out of Memory error and the program crashes.
I opened one of the sample projects and was able to link to one of my frame files without any problem, so it seems to be an issue with creating something new.
Any suggestions?

It happens when I create a new project and then try to import or link frame docs to make up the content. It starts scanning, then crashes. I did get it to the conversion setting page once, but no further.
It does not happen if I open one of the supplied example projects and link a file. But then it doesn't let me choose, during import, any style mapping. And I can't delete the sample project fold
Twice now it has told me when I tried to import (not link, but import) that my .fm file could not be opened, and told me to verify that Frame is installed (it is) and that the file is a valid frame file (it is).
The docs and project are in separate folders on my C: drive.

Faild to save sequence file. Out of memory

I need to write several arrays to my report file. This works fine for a couple of times, but when I add to many steps I get the message "Failed to save sequence file xxx.seq. Out of memory" from the Sequence Editor.
I found the "CustomActionStep" on this board and modyfied it to handle two arrays.
Any ideas to why this happens?

Hi misa37,
I have run your sequence file several times, but I am unable to reproduce the same error message. I opened the sequence in TestStand 4.1, added 6 copied steps to the ones already present. My computer has 2 GB of RAM, with 20GB free of hard disk space.
If you open the task manager while the code executes is there a noticeable CPU spike or rise as the code executes? Have you tested this code on a different computer that has more RAM? What version of TestStand are you using?

Out of Memory message -- even with a blank sequence!

Not sure what happened, but all of a sudden I can't get any timelines to open. Even if I just start up the program without any open sequences, when I click on the empty "Sequence 1" I get the dreaded Error: Out of Memory message. I've tried the usual fixes, but nothing seems to help. I recently ran Cache Out (to delete various caches) and Monolingual (to get rid of non-English language support files), I wonder if something essential got trashed?

Got 10GB or so on both my external hard drive (which I'm not even using now), as well as the internal one. My media is on the external, but to simplify I disengaged it and am just trying to load ANYTHING. Just working on my internal drive, which I have permission to use, of course. I've got 1.25GB of RAM, no issue there. Activity Monitor was a good idea, in fact it occurred to me a few minutes ago and I checked that, didn't see any obvious problems.
I trashed the preferences numerous times, deleted some old files, was going to dump the render files -- but I realized it's irrelevant, since it won't even open a blank file. Here's further evidence of the weirdness -- when the blank project opens up, it gives me the Browser window, and I can get the Viewer to open (but never the Timeline). However, if I try to open up anything in the Viewer, it immediately disappears! I'm losing my mind...
