Topic: WTH is does this mean? - Page: 1

Questa parte dell'argomento è obsoleta e potrebbe contenere informazioni obsolete o errate

thought it would be a bad file, restarted the computer then VDJ and this came back on another video track, but the original one played fine.

My computer is 0% fragmented, so is the hard drive where my files are stored...

maybe the settings on the registry? anyone...?

What came back?? What does what mean??
 
sorry i forgot to post the pic :)
 
 
thanks, ive done a search on this issue and have read the threads about the ATI-Nvidia-VideoMemMaxUse, etc.. this is not consistant, its even happening with clip bank files that are 30 seconds long (linked to MP3s)...

my CPU usage hovers around 25% - 30% up to 60% - 70% when loading videos that are 100 MB+...

This started happening today... last night everything was great...
 
registry...
 
So what video card do you have, and how much RAM does it have?
 
 
Please read the message that popped up very clearly...

It says that in order to load the track into memory VirtualDJ needs "62Mb of contiguous memory" --- this is System RAM and has nothing to do with Video RAM

At the time of trying to load the track you had 122Mb of RAM available out of 4096Mb (4Gb) for VirtualDJ to use and load the track - but that available MEMORY (RAM) space was to fragmented and didn't have 62Mb of contiguous memory addresses available for VirtualDJ to load your track in memory.

So, instead of loading the track in Memory - VirtualDJ is simply going to stream the content directly from your harddrive.

I can begin to guess that you had either a 30 minute or longer mix already loaded or the track you were trying to load was 30 minutes or longer? Is that true?

In prior versions people would complain that all of a sudden VirtualDJ would not load the full waveform when loading LONG LONG tracks - so now we are simply telling you Why - where before we would tell you nothing.

But again - this has nothing to do with Video RAM, Video Settings, etc. It is physical System RAM and that at the time of loading that song there was not enough space to safely load the AUDIO portion into memory to be played from RAM verses streamed direct off the harddrive.

He said it was a video. I think it's unlikely that he'd be playing 30 minute video files.

Maybe he's got lots of other things running on the computer besides VDJ...

How much RAM would be required to load and play two 5 minute videos, for example?
 
Groovin how are you gonna question a "Hardware" expert?? I mean dang dude what are your credentials?? He also said it happens with clipbank so he could be using long videos..........

The files are videos that are 4-5 minutes long, some are 120 mb plus... I did have a playlist that was about 45 minutes long...
Clip bank files are about 30 seconds long and about 20-30mb in size.

I tried increasing the maximim memory use to 896. Checked, scaned fixed the database. My HD is almost full could this be the issue.. ?
 
See, beatbreaker - whadayaknow!

I'm here to help - nothing more, nothing less.

I wasn't disputing what cstoll said (guessed), just pointing out what the OP had mentioned, and thinking logically.

It could possibly be linked to Windows paging settings, I guess.

If Windows gets short on RAM, it can (depending on settings) start to use your HDD space as storage - so if your RAM's low, you have paging set to on, and HDD space is low too, there's nowhere else for Windows to put stuff that belongs in RAM.
 
some 'malformed' video files trigger this issue for me.
sometimes de-activating the video output THEN loading the file will get around this message. (THEN re-activate video Output)

if you're suddenly seeing this all the time, sometimes rolling back to an older version of the Catalyst driver will help.
I've had to go back to version 10.2 as anything newer will not work..

(Its not that there is a problem in the latest drivers or in VirtualDJ, but somehow they refuse to play nice together)



also, some 'malformed' mp3 could still trigger this message.

While it is still possible to STREAM the file from disc as it says, if you load another track during streaming, the loading will decrease and CATCH Up with the point of play, resulting in the music stopping. 2 files will not stream together.
 
new development... ive noticed changes in my system... it seems some pixels freeze at random moments... by minimizing, maximizing or moving the window will get rid of these colourful dashes, ive also noticed random big jums im CPU usage...

Could this mean a RAM module is faulty?
 
The above graphic freeze/error in the rhythm zone could be related to a bug in the skin and not with some performance issue.

Which skin are you using (name, resolution), Have you modified the skin or resized that ? Does the same graphic bug appear using the default skin ?
 
ive been using a this skin that doesnt seem to be available for download anymore.. where any known bugs within this skin, ive been using it for a while with no issues till now...
 
Since some can not respect the questions and wait for the person with the actual problem to respond ... then hit me up when you want a 'real' answer to your problem.

Enjoy the game of 'speculation' ...

Btw ... none of what you are currently discussing is 'WHY' the message popped up ...

Have a good holiday ...
 
Still having issues even though im using a different skin, is there a possibility it might be a faulty RAM module? Perhaps the Video card?

According to this page http://www.virtualdj.com/products/virtualdj/index.html my computer meets the required specs for video, with th exception of the DDR3 i have DDR2...

CPU usage is at 34% with two 120+ mb files playing... and physical memory is running at 60%...
 
Like I said in my previous post - this has nothing to do with Video RAM.

The warning message is about your System RAM and not having a contiguous section of space to load the track. Your System RAM is influenced by everything running on your system. If you have background or foreground applications that are using segments of RAM that may not be allowing the RAM to have large enough segments of space available to load some of your tracks.

From your screen shot it shows 40 processes loaded - what are those processes? Are all of them necessary while using VirtualDJ? Things like 'real-time' diagnostic applications, anti-virus, etc - could be fragmenting your System RAM - therefore creating a performance issue in the management of System RAM.

Have you tweaked your system by disabling or turning off those things not necessary while DJing?
