    I am using VirtualDub 1.5.10 to capture video from my analog video camera. Whenever I try to use the Lame MP3 encoder (3.96) as an Audio Compression, I receive this Error 420: Out of memory for wave buffers.

    I can use other types of audio compression such as PCM, and I do not get this error.

    I have spent many hours and still cannot figure this out. Any idea?

    Thanks

    Hi krzyray,
    On the VDub tab Options>Performance there are the well-known memory and buffer allocation settings, I don't know if this is your problem but give them lots of memory. (I say well-known because the ability to save these settings is one of the mod's in VDubMod!)
    PCM is not compression, it is pulsecode modulation which is the Redbook CD audio standard ie. a giant wave file.
    Capturing video is difficult at high framerates in real-time. You cannot also capture and encode audio to MP3, real-time simultaneously, unless your hardware is far stronger than mine...
    You could record both audio and video using PCM audio in one pass, or take a second pass of your source (I know, real-time!) to capture audio with CDex 1.51
    Recording A/V each separately will require this, but always works (easier on hardware). Maybe if you have strong PC, you will be OK with some tinkering.
    The latest Lame MP3 is so slow on Highest Quality (Q=0) that it would be even slower than your vid capture!
    Good luck, let us know if you get it sorted out.

    Hi The_OGS,

    Thanks for the help. Currently I just used Windows Movie Maker. But, I will try out what you said and see if it works.
