AVISynth memory problems

[j***@yahoo.com]

I am attempting to create credits for a video that I am encoding. I
have written the .avs script. It utilizes the SubtitleEx filter. I load
the script into CCE and it encodes about 36 seconds (of the 5 minutes)
of credits and CCE chokes. I see that great quatities of memory are
absorbed during the encode.

Has anyone experienced this and if so, have you gotten around it? I'm
not sure whether to blame (and approach) the AVISynth team or the
designer of the subtitleex plugin.

Any ideas?

There should be a fix for what you are trying, but until someone
posts one, you could take a look at TMPGEnc 4.0 due out tomorrow.

It includes subtitle support.

Thanks. I will take a look. The credits are not subtitle per se but is
an animation that uses the subtitle(ex) AVISynth filter. It looks like
the trouble is that if too many credits are on the screen at the same
time, it blows up. Or it is a cumulative thing that just absorbs are
memory and eventually kills the process. If there was a filter that
cause a commit to free up memory every now and then, this script might
work.

Has anyone seen an AVISynth filter that issues a commit (of sorts) and
frees up memory?
