When I try to convert a AVI file (75 minutes of analog film captured with windows movie maker) to MPEG2 (to burn a DVD) with VS8, it takes my computer a very long time (over 10 hours ) and than at approx. 75% I get a warning that my virtual memory is insufficient. A little later VS8 closes it self. With smaller files a never had a problem. Does anyone know what I should do to get this file converted to a MPEG2 file on a DVD?
My settings:
MPEG files
24 Bits, 720 x 576, 25 fps
Lower Field First
(DVD-PAL), 4:3
Video data rate: 6000 kbps
LPCM Audio, 48 KHz, Stereo
Memory problem

First off, close all running apps in the background - VS needs all the resources it can get; it dislikes sharing with other programs. Unplug all unneeded external devices. If you're running on Win XP, increase your Virtual Memory this way:
Right click My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Performance Settings > Advanced tab. Next, click 'Change' to set your system's virtual memory.
This is the values I use:
Custom Initial Size: 1024
Maximum Size: 4096
Click 'Set', then your computer will ask you to restart for the settings to take place.

Ok, I closed all of the other programs and increased the virtual memory to your suggested settings. But again I soon run out of virtual memory (even sooner, now @ approx. 37%). And after this warning the program shuts it self down (no crash).
The requested hard drive space was 8.2 GB for this project and my available is 37.2 GB.
