I am using VirtualDub 1.5.10 to capture video from my analog video camera. Whenever I try to use the Lame MP3 encoder (3.96) as an Audio Compression, I receive this Error 420: Out of memory for wave buffers.
I can use other types of audio compression such as PCM, and I do not get this error.
I have spent many hours and still cannot figure this out. Any idea?
Hi krzyray,
On the VDub tab Options>Performance there are the well-known memory and buffer allocation settings, I don't know if this is your problem but give them lots of memory. (I say well-known because the ability to save these settings is one of the mod's in VDubMod!)
PCM is not compression, it is pulsecode modulation which is the Redbook CD audio standard ie. a giant wave file.
Capturing video is difficult at high framerates in real-time. You cannot also capture and encode audio to MP3, real-time simultaneously, unless your hardware is far stronger than mine...
You could record both audio and video using PCM audio in one pass, or take a second pass of your source (I know, real-time!) to capture audio with CDex 1.51

Recording A/V each separately will require this, but always works (easier on hardware). Maybe if you have strong PC, you will be OK with some tinkering.
The latest Lame MP3 is so slow on Highest Quality (Q=0) that it would be even slower than your vid capture!
Good luck, let us know if you get it sorted out.
The setting are PCM stereo 16 bit 44.100Hz and yes not enough wave buffers Error 420 ??
ussing a Realtec onboard sounddevice, is this the problem? Capturing with the latest virtual dub and even 1.4d doesn't mather. Please help me!
I have the same problem , i have agood pc and im trying to capture using VirtualDub and when im setting the codec to lame mp3 or wma v1 or v2 , i get that error (420). when i played with the prefernces and the buffer and all that stuff , i placed the bars at the maximum (!) and still , i cant capture mp3 with VirtualDub. im freaking out.
please help me...
