    Memory, Remote - Double Trouble!

    Michelmnr Community Member

      I just finished reading threads re memory problem with encore. Some from 2008! I'm using files I have created in PPcs4 with AVCHD clips exported as media to give me .avi files that I use to make a dvd in Encore. Usually it goes all well only for one thing my remote control end product does not work as it should at all, yes I still can play back the whole DVD and even go from one chapter to the next but not really choose and not with the menu on screen.

      So that is where the next trouble arises as I try to get the remote control in  the pannel preview to work. After only a few changes in the button routing trying the preview will get me the insufficient memory warning. It does not really crash, the preview may freeze but I can terminate it and try again. But from then on it's "go slow" to no where I read Bill H's entry about page filing and tried a few things I have 8gb ram so used one of my TB and allocated this x3 in virtual memory. I don't really understand what I'm doing, just tried to follow some instructions. but this did not make any difference at all. I also have asked my system (W7 4gb ram i5 intel and plenty of HD realestate) to optimise for best performance. So my Desktop is now looking a little pale! Still to no joy.

      My other trouble which seems related is this darn remote control. I can't get it working I used it in pp2 suite I can't quite remember how it was but it worked. Here in CS 4 all I can see is a slight highlight when I hover over it but it does not seem to respond. I've been to so many searches but none seem to respond to "enable preview remote control" or anything around this meaning. So as long as I can't use it in the pgr as long it will not be correct on my dvd!

      I have not used Mpg and can see my Audio timeline the same length as my Video

      I just imported such a file in a new project chose a preset menu (Before I used a blank menu and created buttons on a jpeg), made 3 chapters linked correctly (my Build /check did not return any error) but still unable to use the remote control, It's ok with the mouse till I try a little more and I get a memory problem.

      PS I always had a memory problem but not related to computers! I feel a little embarrassed that I have not been able to solve this after so much time spent on it and hope some one may have an answer. Thank you

      I have not been through defrag and turning everything else off as I worked in PP with nil such problem and thought I gave PP a harder job with my hd clips,  titles, added audio. Perhaps I'm quite wrong.

      I also remember reading about someone who's remote control would work ok on 4:3 ratio but not on wide, so I tried both to no avail.

      Ok I'll go quiet

          More info!

          I just went through the defrag. check. My C:/ drive showed 1% with 63 gb free space. and my others had not % fragmented one with 400Gb and the other with 550gb free space.

          I do have my pc connected and look through lot of stuff as I'm working with a few sites open to keep track. I know it'd be nice to get stuck on my work with nothing else open but I'm a constant learner "forgeter'! As said before with PP it seems a lot smoother.

          (My previous post did not include one small project that would not encode until I cleared the Cache as suggested from one post- this one had a very simple menu then that problem did not recur?)
