2 short X8 happanings today.

[asik1]

1) I was rendering a 2 min project to WMV . X8 stops rendering at 33% but... it didn't crash or hogged. The rendering bar just closed and I could go back to EDIT and check what's there. It wasn't a complicated project but I decided to split audio and remove FX on the clips under the overlay at that point. I render again to MP4 and it went fine.
Never I had encounter VS acting so "politely" if there was any culprit.

2) A different 2 min project , more complex.
track 1 all clips with air brush and monochrome,
track 2 duplicate of track1 clips without FX but with custom mask.
I tried to render 30 second MP4 at 15Mb for overview but got "out of memory"
checked memory.... still got half my RAM idle. So I rendered at 10MB .... Success

(side note, rendering with that NB FX uses only ~25% of cpu, when replaced by VS FX... 95%.)
