Your problem is a little mysterious because you said that in the past you could capture fine, but now you can’t. What changed between when you could capture and now? Running low on memory was/is a common problem for CS3 and more so for CS4, especially during rendering. I hadn’t previously heard that capturing was a problem (but I have never had to capture so I never personally ran that capability). I believe your warning message means the actual available physical memory, not disk space. It is starved for more memory. You can verify this by examining memory usage with Task Manager. By way of explanation, on a 32-bit system the application might be getting less than 1G from the OS (you have 4G installed but there is actually only about 3.4 usable total, the OS kernel and drivers use some of that, and then the OS allocates the remaining between all applications such as CS3 but none will be allowed to have all the remaining, only a part of it). Note that capturing might not be able to use virtual memory for performance reasons, it may require sufficient physical memory buffers. There are a few things you can do, but not much. Adobe’s advice for 32-bit users was to examine the Windows startup processes and to eliminate as many of them as possible. No anti-virus, no unnecessary drivers, no background monitoring processes, mail, etc. And when you do run Premiere, make sure no other application is running. Doing this frees up as much memory as possible. Unfortunately the actual quantity freed may still be inadequate, but if your system is border line, it may help. As an aside, I often received those low-memory warnings during rendering or encoding when I had CS3 and CS4, and the system would sometimes crash or hang-up. Eventually I learned that Adobe knew of the situation but that they were going to focus on 64-bit because they felt a 32-bit system couldn’t give enough memory to the Adobe application. I believe the current Premiere Pro is 64-bit only, probably for that reason.

i get the message : premiere running on low system memory. save your work and proceed with caution. and thus will not allow to capture the video. there's enough of free disk space as well as ram and virtual memory. i run windows- xp 32-bit and premiere pro cs3 and capturing SD. what should be done ? plz help. ________________________________ From: Malli Niranjan <[email protected] <mailto:dezinz%40ymail.com> > To: [email protected] <mailto:Adobe-Premiere%40yahoogroups.com> Sent: Fri, 3 June, 2011 9:15:46 AM Subject: Re: [AP] low system memory hello, i run windows- xp 32-bit and premiere pro cs3 and capturing SD.
