I presume you're running OS 9.x. If so, it shouldn't matter what amount of RAM you have allocated to it since it should automagically grab more as is needed (one of the pre-OS X improvements in memory management). Since you have so much try upping the amount to say 300 MB (or some such #). However, instinctively I suspect that it's simply the case that a 300 MHz G3 is not fast enough to do digital video. But, maybe not since you can export 20 mins to tape. Perhaps you need a faster HD? (is ~400 MB comparable to 20 mins of video?) Are you running SCSI or IDE & is it a fast or slow IDE drive on the built-in IDE bus or on a PCI card's bus. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
