I increased the size of my swap file and the render worked. Cinelerra did need lots of space, about 4GB, but did not seem to be using it very much. I monitored the render using top and realised that, with 1 GB of RAM and 2GB of swap, I had run out of swap (free space about 24MB).
So I increased the total swap to 7GB and reran the render. She used about 4GB of that but did not trouble the swap daemon very much, maybe 4% of CPU. 2008/7/23 Roland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Hi Martin, > > Did you try to change the audio driver in Settings --> Preferences --> > Playback ? > > Roland (wildhostile) > > > > On 2008-07-23 09:00, Martin Ellison wrote: > > I have managed to load up my project into Cinelerra (see previous posts). > > When I have done this Cinelerra is using about 3.5GB of virtual and real > > memory.
