DVD-Lab "Out of Memory" ???

[Terra88]

Servus,

wieso erscheint bei DVD-Lab bei bestimmten Aktionen "Out of Memory". Das kann doch nicht sein das ich nicht genügend Speicher habe. Ich habe 1GB Arbeitspeicher und das müsste reichen!

Woran kann es denn liegen?

Achja und vor kurzem ist dann so ein Fenster aufgetaucht:

Hat keiner einen Tipp?

Dies ist ein Bug in DVDLab und leider in Version 2.51 immer noch!
Er ist 100% reproduzierbar.
Hab gerade eine Mail an den Hersteller egschrieben.
Mal sehen ob die antworten:

Hello

In the drop down list on your contact form something is missing: "Bugreport"

DVDLab is really a GREAT program!!
It has GREAT funcionality!
It has a GREAT help file!

But it has a VERY SERIOUS Bug:

Compiling a project with more than approx 10 VTS results in "Out of Memory".
This IS a bug, it was in version 2.28 and is still in version 2.51.

The internet is full of people who already reported this problem years ago and it is still not fixed.

WHY DON'T YOU FIX THIS SERIOUS BUG ?

Please don't tell me that I have to switch to Megaproject.
And please don't tell me that I don't have enough diskspace or that 2 GB RAM are not enough.
All these are the answers one can find in the internet.

It has nothing to do with that.
The bug can be 100% reproduced:

Create a new project.
Add a video file of 5 MB.
Compile the project: In Taskmanager you see that Compile.aux occupies !!200 MB!! RAM to compile a DVD which at the end has a ridiculous size of 5 MB.

Now add a second VTS, add the same 5MB video and compile it.
In Taskmanager you see that Compile.aux now occupies !!300 MB!! RAM to compile a DVD of ridiculous 10 MB

Now add a third VTS, add the same 5MB video and compile it.
In Taskmanager you see that Compile.aux now occupies !!400 MB!! RAM to compile a DVD of ridiculous 15 MB

etc..

Now add a tenth VTS, add the same 5MB video and compile it.
In Taskmanager you see that Compile.aux now occupies !!!!!!!1 GB!!!!!! RAM to compile a DVD of ridiculous 50 MB.

and so on....
At the end you get an "out of memory" error.
And I did not even compile ONE menu !

A DVD supports up to 99 VTS.
With DVDLab this is impossible.

Although DVDLab is such a great program why does the compiler !!WASTE!! so much memory?
All it has to do here is multiplexing an audio stream with a video stream and copy the result to another folder. What does it need so much memory for a simple copy operation????

I am software developer since 30 years and I know for sure that a program which occupies 1 GB RAM to copy 50 MB data from one folder to another folder is completely misdesigned.

When will you fix this serious and very old bug ?

Hello

I received answer from Mediachance.
They admit that there is a bug:

> This is due to an error in design
> The person who created the compiler created data allocation for 650 menus and 100 videos per VTS.
> Regardless on what is occupied.
> When you use few more VTS's (like 5) the memory allocation become > 2GB and windows
> will throw 'out of memory' error - regardless how much swap disk space or memory there is
> because windows limits 2GB maximum allocated space per application.

> We will try to change the dvd-lab to compiler communication.


I asked when this will finally be fixed.
But up to now I did not receive answer.
