I'm trying to make a (high resolution) movie from our holiday, with all our photos and videos. I'm using Microsoft Movie Maker. Firstly, on my desktop, it gets to about 5 minutes in, then the whole PC just shuts down. Without a blue screen. But I've been having problems with my PC for some time.
So I next tried on my laptop, which has 12GB of memory. However, it gets to about 65% before saying 'There isn't enough memory available to save this file. Try saving it at a lower resolution.' I have been able to save the movie at a lower resolution (720x480 DVD quality), but the photos don't look good on my hi-res tv.
There are 782 photos and 35 minutes of video. Movie Maker says the movie should be 2 hours and 6 minutes long.
Resource monitor says 4785MB memory in use, 7373MB standby, 0MB free!
So, my question is, how much memory will I need to do this sort of thing? For my next build I was going to go with 16GB memory, but I'm not sure that's going to be enough!!
