View Full Version : Dies after 8 GB Temp file is created...


March 31st, 2003, 05:27 PM
I have setup a simple slide show with a single folder of photos and a
single MP3 file.
If I generate it as as PC show only, I have no problems.

When I generate a VCD show it fills up my disk with an 8 GB temp file
before dying due to a lack of disk space.

There are no transitions.
I have it set to "sync to music" and "spaced to music length"
I have about 6.5 minutes of audio (MP3) and 72 slides.
I have tried setting my show up with just the settings and options tab
and then with only the sequencer tab and then with the above audio
options on both the sequencer and options tabs - all result in the same
crash behavior described above.

I am running on Windows XP SP1 and XATSHOW 5.02

Anyone know what it might be?

D.

Hello Darwin

This is a bug that occurs if the MP3 is incomplete (eg not fully downloaded). If
you use good MP3 all will be well.

This will be fixed in the next release.

The first time this happened it was an MP3 that I had concatenated with
shareware called "MP3CUTTER"

I wondered if it might be a part of the problem, so I went back the the
three original MP3s I made with the latest version of MusicMatch and it
still happened. I think MusicMatch is making complete MP3s.

Fyi,
D.
