While comparing the latest SVN to r827 I noticed another interesting feature - that is, the latest SVN likes memory a lot.
I loaded an MPEG clip and rendered it a couple of times (same settings, same clip, same everything). Each rendering occupied more and more memory. After rendering it a couple of times the entire memory of my computer was used up (mem + swap = 1GB). Soon after that Cinelerra either crashed or the rendering got stuck. When I tried the same thing on r827, this didn't happen. Cinelerra occupied app. 150Mb of memory and it didn't take more no matter how many times I rendered. So I'd say that in the latest SVN something is eating-up memory. Is it worth filling a bug on this issue? All the best! Miha P.S. Looks like the recent versions of Cinelerra use some kind of buffer where they store the movie material. That's nice, because in this way rendering & playback are faster. However after the rendering is done, that buffer doesn't get cleaned up (or so it seems). It would be also nice if such buffering could be turned off or in some way limited (for low-end machine users - like me :) _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
