: I have just dl AVIedit 2 days ago for an evaluation, and in my attempt to repair an AVI file (167,806 frames) with a corrupted data at frame 27907. I open the file, using edit to select all, then save file to a HD. However, when the program was processing to 3% of the file. an AVIedit msg appear saying - not enough memory. I checked and found out that AVIedit has taken in 1.093gb of RAM and I have 1.3 gb installed. Pls advise as to what have I missed or any improper use of AVIedit.
Most likely, your file uses ODML avi format extensions. AVIedit reads only the 1st RIFF data block from such a file, and treats the rest as "next frame". It tries to allocate RAM to hold entire block at once. When its size is too big, AVIedit fails due to lack of memory. In general, you shouldn't be using ODML avi's, or convert them to compatible format first.
