False "Out of memory" error.

[CSharpner]

I started rendering last night before I went to bed. When I got up this morning, it acts like it was done, but there's no AVI file... no error messages either. So, I went [File|Create Video File] and got a dialog box that says, "Insufficient memory.". Task Manager shows only 365MB in use and 590MB available.

When I close and reopen Cool 3D Prod Studio, it works. Just thought someone should know about it.

What's the display card you use??

I know sometimes the "Insufficient Memory" error is indicating that the video memory on the display card is not enough to render the project, not the system memory....

If your COOL 3D project is complex, it might require up to 1.5GB system memory or higher so Windows will allocate hard disk space as virtual memories so COOL 3D Production Studio can use the memory to render. If your hard disk space is not enough, the error will also appear.

If you can render the project successfully at the second time or after you reboot the system, then it's possible the case is the virtual memory issue.
