Out of memory error burning Nero
Hi
I keep getting "out of memory" error when trying to burn a disc with Nero Burning Rom.
I don't understand why. When watching the burn via windows Task Manager, I can see the CPU running at 100%, during the analyzing stage and the encoding stage.I can also see the page file useage meter steadily rising to maximum memory. Then it halts with the out of memory message.

Hi
I am running 6.6.0.18 Should I upgrade to 6.6.1.4? I have not come across this problem before.
I followed your link to cdfreaks, but I don't think it could be hard drive space (I have 345Gb of freespace on drive C), or running with dvdshrink or dvd dycrypter. I am using the exact same setup on my second computer. ( only got 12.7Gb free space on drive C) The second comp will burn 2 discs at once, no problems with that machine.

By the way I have 3Gb of DDR 2 ram fitted in the problem machine, with only 750Gb DDR in the second machine, running with a 2.8 pentium. I can even print while its burning.
What amazes me is the way you can watch the PF useage moniter click up at 1Mb every few seconds, while using windows task manager.

Ok
I have changed the pagefile size from 3072 to 4600 initial and 8500 max.
Do you think that will be ok?

From what I have read a page file should be 1 and a half times the amount of memory. So 4600 to 8500 sounds good. With 3 gig of memory though it doesn't seem like the pagefile should be an issue, but it can't hurt to try. With that amount of physical memory and then the additional amount of virtual memory from the page file you could theoretically hold an entire dual-layer image in memory. You don't run a ton of background processes by chance do you?
Another possibility, but not likely if you aren't blue screening is bad memory. I had to replace my memory at home because it wasn't buffering. It would work fine until the memory would fill up and then my computer would crash and blue screen.

Not had any blue screens of death. I gave the memory a run through with mem chek
about a month ago it was fine. Ill give it another few days see if it does it again.
Allways seem to be pushed for time these days. Busy retirement. I have'nt got time to go to work these days.
Thanks for your help
