I am trying to render a video that is only 5 min or so, though it does have lots of 8x footage in it. I was trying to do so on my less capable laptop but kept getting an error that it can't be saved and I need to see if any of the files were missing. I guessed this to be memory related and switched to the better computer. Different computer, different clips (different copies anyway) and even different edits since I had to start over. However, I still get it. The files are not missing and the entire thing plays fine in the preview frame. Below is the error. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

OK, I think it has to be memory related. This video describes the problem and gives a very simple, rudimentary fix. I tried it and my video came so close to finishing up. Sooooooo....close.

I still get this error quite often, usually when I'm editing about 8GB of footage down into a 2 minute clip. It does have some relation to RAM/memory so I close all unnecessary processes and try again. Sometimes it helps with a fresh reboot and trying to process right as the computer boots up.

If the problem persists, see if you can turn off your anti virus if it's doing a scan.

thanks 'Beech, although i did learn that lesson from you previously so I tried with it disabled also but to no avail. The dude in the youtube clip had 8G RAM and was still having problems but I think i am going to have to try more RAM anyway as i am not sure what else to do. As previously stated; WLMM hates me.
