The other problem is I suspect that Ubuntu does not actually fix bugs. They just act as a pass-through for Debian and apply patches from Debian. This causes a problem since Debian is unlikely to accept direct bug reports pertaining to Ubuntu, but Debian is doing all the work. Maintaining ImageMagick for Debian is a huge amount of work. > So I can see that Memory and Disk are now far more constrained than when on Xubuntu 16.04.

A problem with ImageMagick is that you need to find the documentation which pertains to your exact version since ImageMagick is always in flux. Debian/Ubuntu are providing ImageMagick 6 which is considered to be "legacy" and has its own web site (although since ImageMagick is always in flux the web site might not match the software). I am the developer/maintainer of the competing GraphicsMagick software, which I would immediately suggest except that it does not directly write MP4 files. You would need to find a way to convert from a format that GraphicsMagick writes to MP4 (e.g. ffmpeg). Both ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick are very poor at dealing with large video/animation streams because they buffer the data up before writing anything. I see that this discovers the files which are actually searched for and used: MAGICK_DEBUG=configure convert -list resource On my own system I recall editing the Ubuntu default policy.xml file directly since it was hindering my ability to reasonably compare ImageMagick with GraphicsMagick. Feel free to try installing the 'graphicsmagick' package and see if it works any better for your needs. Unfortunately, I see that the provided GraphicsMagick dates from February, 2020 so it is a bit old.

[Bug 1956642] Re: convert crash during operation leaving partial output file
Yes Bob, I knew convert is a part of ImageMagick. I was having difficulty locating the correct package within this bug tracker. Thanks for explaining how to show what resources convert is allowed to use. Following is the output from my three systems: Xubuntu 16.04: $ convert -list resource File Area MemoryMap Disk Thread Throttle Time 768 16.584GB 7.7226GiB 15.445GiB unlimited2 0 unlimited $ Xubuntu 20.04: $ convert -list resource Resource limits: Width: 16KP Height: 16KP List length: 18.446744EP Area: 128MP Memory: 256MiB Map: 512MiB Disk: 1GiB File: 768 Thread: 12 Throttle: 0 Time: unlimited $ Xubuntu 22.04: $ convert -list resource Resource limits: Width: 16KP Height: 16KP List length: unlimited Area: 128MP Memory: 256MiB Map: 512MiB Disk: 1GiB File: 768 Thread: 2 Throttle: 0 Time: unlimited $ So I can see that Memory and Disk are now far more constrained than when on Xubuntu 16.04.

[Bug 1956642] Re: convert crash during operation leaving partial output file
FYI, the software you are using is ImageMagick and not GraphicsMagick, yet you filed the bug against GraphicsMagick. You are likely running into a configured resources limit, which is much lower than what the system can handle, and in my opinion defaulted (by Debian/Ubuntu) to quite low limits. Limits can be adjusted by the user. Use 'convert -list resource' to see the current resource limits like: ``` % convert -list resource Resource limits: Width: 16KP Height: 16KP List length: 18.446744EP Area: 128MP Memory: 256MiB Map: 512MiB Disk: 1GiB File: 768 Thread: 8 Throttle: 0 Time: unlimited ``` -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1956642 Title: convert crash during operation leaving partial output file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/graphicsmagick/+bug/1956642/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
