Okay, so thinking about the options and the short term solutions ( you want the DVD this year right ? ) I think the best solution is to add an option to render the images as jpegs.
So the code changes are simple and straight forward. All that you would need to do is to choose the proper command line which is using rendered_%8.jpg instead of rendered_%8.png In this case the required disc space is only about 750MBytes ( instead of 6 GBytes ), and about 1GByte including the extracted frames. I have used this and did not need 6Gigs of RAM. I checked in the changes and the Setup dialog will now display a new combo box for this purpose. As I said you will have to manually switch the default command to form png2yuv to jpeg2yuv ( [d]-button in the Command Queue Dialog ). I hope this helps, Varol :) Z F wrote: > Hello everybody, > > I have a memory problem. > > I am trying to make a menu with a movie in the background. > My understanding is that the clip is first disassambled into frames > and then buttons are added and then it is reassabled together. > In the process of collecting all the frames into m2v file, I see that > png2yuv is used and the output is piped in the mpeg encoder. > > It looks like for a full screen background video, png2yuv "eats" about > 1M per frame and it does not realease it till the end.
