Errorcode - Out of memory/Not enough storage is available to process this command

Errorcode ver 3.2:

DVD Shrink encountered an error and cannot continue.
Out of memory
Not enough storage is available to process this command.

Errorcode ver 3.0b5:

DVD Shrink encountered an error and cannot continue.
Programming error - impossibel program state occured
The reason is unknown

Problems:

The problem can be due to known "Problematic movies" such as Resident Evil: Apocalypse region 2,4,5. For more information and a list of those movies and a working solution - look at this FAQ page.

You have converted an AVI movie file using CyberLinkPowerDirector into the necessary DVD files. You are now trying to reduce the size of those files.

You have joined some VOBs together, using VOBEdit, into one (or more) "big VOBs".

You are trying to backup an ordinary DVD (perhaps with Multi-Angle).

Possible Solutions:

Perhaps the message it must the fact of that it was testing yesterday and today some codecs of video (3ivx and Xvid) with VirtualDub MPEG-2 1.5.10. The codecs XviD, particularity, seem not to like my machine configuration. Credit:

DVD Shrink does use however a lot of memory. It depends on the DVD, but I have seen up to 200MB. With 256MB to play with, you may be cutting it fine... Credit: dvdshrink

I suddenly started getting on error message when using shrink - either 'out of memory' or 'insufficient resourses to complete task'. Was the computer set up for hibernation, and if so DISABLE IT. I went into start - control panel - power options, and sure enough, last week when I set the computer up to automatically turn off after 3 hours, it had enabled hibernation as well. This apparently ties up a large chunk of your memory. I disabled this, and now everything is working perfectly again. Credit: jems

I used DVD-lab to create the vobs from a single 5 Gb VOB. Then I got the error. I redid the VOB files with Sonic Fusion (1,073,709,056 bytes per vob) and everything worked. Using DVD-Lab (1,000,038,400 bytes per vob) the memory allocation just keeps rising until Shrink reports out of memory

I was having problems with a multi-angle DVD. With DVD Shrink in full-disk mode and in the beginning of a video sequence with multi-angle option, it was had a considerable increment in the use of the buffer. The problem was resolved with virtual memory abilited. The file swap consumed approximately 380 MB in the portions with multi-angle where the transcodification was very slow. The final result was excellent (in comparison, for example, with ver 2.3 that it does not have problems with my amount of memory). Credit: fsdantas

If you need to use a page file, then you'll get better performance if the page file and the DVD Shrink output folder are on separate hard disks, preferably on separate IDE channels. If you don't have a second hard disk, it'll be cheaper to purchase more memory. Credit: dvdshrink

When you get virtual memory warning, it is more likely that your harddrive doesnot have enough space. When encoding it will takes 1.5 x 9.0GB (duala layers)/4.5GB(single layer) original DVD of your HD (where you store the outout file).
-You should clean up your output files to free up space on your HD, and/or
-Use same output file folder (overwrite the old out put file) and/or
-Go to "System Property" -> "Performance Options" to increase the virtual memory capacity to the maximum available. Credit: vitieubao0223

What is the ideal amount of RAM with DVD Shrink?

Some DVDs with multi-angle features, long chapters or high bitrates will require more memory than 256 MB.

Memory is cheap these days. Get another 256 MB!

(or increase your swap file size, but expect a severe performance penalty if DVD Shrink starts using swap file).

384 MB (256+128) should be enough, DVD Shrink would probably never require swap file.

512 MB is a nice round number.

If you run three instances of DVD Shrink simultaneously with Photoshop and a C compiler open in the background, then go for 1 GB
