Memory problems

[JTrain]

I'm running a pentium 2 450 with 256MB of PC133 ram. I am trying do convert large ASF files to MPEG 1 VCD format using TMPGEnc. I was able to do this successfully when running Windows 98 with 96MB of ram. I have upgraded to Windows XP Professional and added the 256 MB ram. When I try to convert the large ASF file it starts, but after a short period of time i recieve a message from Windows that says the system is low on virtual memory and that programs might be closed because of this. After that message from windows i recieve a message from TMPGEnc that says it is out of memory. I believe this problem to be a Windows XP problem but how do I fix it.

I had almost exactly the same problem with tmpegenc under 98 se with 512 mb ram when converting 700+ MB files from avi to mpeg. I then installed a ram recovery tool (MaxRam, available a.o. @ download.com) to recover ram from time to time and tmpegenc stopped bitching. There's also an option to automize that so you don't have to be after that manually.

you might want to give it a shot too.
