Thanks for your suggestion:

Here is the error message I get now (after ~ 2 hours), when I try -limit memory 1 -limit map 1 :

convert: unable to clone cache `C:/DOCUME~1/grt/LOCALS~1/Temp/magick-9VAn86hI
Bad file descriptor.

The path C:/DOCUME~1/grt/LOCALS~1/ is OK, so I am not sure what the problem is.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Gabriel

First clear out any lingering temporary files on your system to free up as
much temporary disk space as possible.  Next, try this command:

convert -limit memory 1 -limit map 1 -delay 30 *.eps -layers optimize test3.gif

Hi,

I am using convert.exe under WindowsXP to create a an animated gif file or mpg file (preferred) from many (rather simple, monochrome) eps files. The procedure works with ~ 800 files (it is slow, though), but it crashes with ~8000 input files.

I am using

   convert -delay 30  *.eps  -layers optimize  test3.gif

  and

   convert -delay 30  *.eps m2v:test3.mpg

I get error message 0xc0000017 which, according to a Google search, appears to be related to memory exceedence in Windows.

Any suggestions?

-recommended settings for convert?

-should I create intermediate mpg files and then join them using convert?

-limitations on length of command line (if I enter names explicitly)?

-etc.

Thanks,

Gabriel
