I am building a presentation dvd when i and hit with thie error message half way into the build, I am running 4gig of ram and dont quite understand how i am running out of memory. I watch the memory chart in the windows task manager and it only reaches 63% at 2.35gig of ram, before coming up with the "Not enough memory..." message. Any ideas on why encore is not using my full 4gig of ram. My computer does know i have 4gig also. -Thanks,

Jamie. What OS are you running? 32 or 64 bit? What build of Encore? What are your system specs please?

Jamie, Along with Neil's questions, I have two more: How, and where, is your Windows' Page File setup? What is your system's I/O setup, i.e. HDD's and how they are used? BTW, it looks like you're running CS3, is that correct? Good luck, Hunt

OK, that is a start. You have 5GB RAM installed, but with a 32-bit OS, you will only see a bit less than 4GB. With the 3GB switch, you can divide up that 4GB with some additional addresses, but it MAY cause other issues. I use it on my XP-Pro workstation and have had no issues, nor have I ever had any "Out of Memory" errors. Some people are not so lucky, but you might want to try it. I do not have a bookmarked link handy, but a search of the Adobe Premiere forum should yield the MS link with the necessary parameters and how to implement it. Do not know about Vista, sorry.
Now, how is your Vista "virtual memory" Page File set up? How many HDD's do you have and how are they utilized? I'm talking about physical HDD's and hope that you have not partitioned any of these.
There are basically two types of "memory." One is RAM and the other is "virtual." I've had very good luck with a static Page File setting at 2.5x my physical RAM. My experiments yielded the best results by splitting this over two physical HDD's, but your mileage may vary. Still, many swear by a static, vs the default dynamic ("let Windows manage your Virtual Memory").
Another factor regarding memory is the number of Processes that one has running. These can be common programs, like anti-virus, pop-up blockers and anti-spyware apps., but also many, many others. I Exit out of most of the common ones in my Tasktray, and then run a little freeware program, EndItAll2. It's pretty smart and will query your system Processes, upon installation. When you run it, it'll shut down all the little apps. that rob your system of CPU cycles, RAM usage and also Page File usage. You can tweak it, if necessary also. If I'm editing anything beyond a "test" Project, I always shut everything else down. During my editing, I can have AE, PS, AI, Premiere and Encore all running, though all but one will be minimized. Now, I do have more CPU power, than do you, plus a ton of internal HDD's, but only 4GB (with the 3GB switch) of RAM (Corsair Pro dual-channel). I've also had SD Projects that were extremely heavy-duty, and have never had a memory error.
OK, that's a few questions and suggestions. Let us know how it comes out. You may have to do a bit of experimentation to see what works on your system, but you should also be able to get major Projects through it.
John T. Smith has also posted a link to "Troubleshooting Tips." I do not have that bookmarked either, but he's posted it to many articles on this forum. I'd find a post by him, and click his profile to see his recent posts. I'll bet that one will have that link in it.
Good luck,
Hunt

Yeah i heard vista only runs at a max of about 3.5gig with out playing around with anything, but wasn't to sure. I am running two hard drives, ones external and ones internal, from as far a i know they haven't been partitioned, I was trying to build the DVD again just then and noticed it gets stuck every time it try's to build the transitions. As soon as "building transitions" comes up, so does the out of memory message. Not sure if that's any useful information or not. I have tryed closing everything besides encore using the process menu and still have the same error. Thanks for that Hunt, Ill keep trying.
