So im recording off a vhs through my tv tuner card. i got virtual dub, 4.0 [just downloaded 4.5, havent tried it] and its running divx and some tv filters and its looks real nice. i turn it off and i come back 2 hours later, and look at that, a big error message saying my virtual memory is low. i look to performance and see that its jacking 1.3gb of RAM. i go to processes and i see no programs jacking ram. so my recording is jacked up now...

not the first time. i know it has to do with my sound card now. tbsc.. its not vitural dub as i have already contacted the creator and he said something is leaking memory... anyone wiht tbsc and records for long periods of time? i mean, i recorded simpsons and it was fine, but anything over an hour or 2 when i leave the comp, it jacks up...
 
Make sure it's set to record to a physical file and not to RAM. It may think it's recording to RAM, but when Windows runs out of memory your program will be using the swap file (transparently). Therefore, there will be no performance hit.

Does it do real-time Divx encoding, or does it need to save all that data to a big file in some proprietory format?
 
it does record to hard drive. i asked the creator if it uses ram as a disk at all, he said no. this is real time divx. on the fly..
