1. Re: Having big problem with used memory
Bill Hunt Jul 29, 2012 10:36 AM (in response to dnice423)When you say:
My internal hard drive is filled up all the way but none of my original footage is stored there
Can you be more specific please? How full?
Though your Project and most working files are on the external, there are still some files written to the C:\, and if one is using Windows Virtual Memory (especially if dynamically managed) located on C:\, you could well be running out of HDD space on C:\.
Also remember, when one fills an HDD to about 70% of capacity, its efficiency will diminish. The closer to capacity, the more the efficiency will diminish. At 100%, the chances of a catastrophic failure increases greatly.
Good luck,
Hunt

shooternz Jul 29, 2012 7:47 PM (in response to dnice423)You dont have enough hard drives in your system so your set up is less than ideal.
Basically you are out of "headroom" to process the footage and your system is telling you so.
The process needs the storage on the drives.

shooternz Jul 29, 2012 9:33 PM (in response to dnice423)Maybe ..but you are likely to run into connection speed issues.
eg USB 2.0 connection is too slow for what you are doing.
You have simply run out of sace ("fast HDD space") due to the size of your finished programs and the shortage of HDDs.
More HDDS required or a major clean out of the ones you have.
