Hey everyone. This forum has helped me diagnose many problems in the past and I'm hoping this problem could also be diagnosed. Here is the problem: I export my sequence in H.264 1440x1080i (preset from premiere) and the final exported clip works but freezes after 9 minutes and 50 seconds. I looked at the timeline and nothing is there that might make it do that.

When I export 13 minuts of the clip... it works fine (beyond the freeze point). So only when its a large clip, it freezes like that. I have another sequence that I'll be exporting in the same format., 1hr long and I'll see if it will create the same problem.

Wondering if anyone has encountered such a problem? I'll will update tomorrow. Thanks

Update:

Okay I've exported a longer clip in this same format and it has the same issue it freezes but a little further down the line. I only have 4GB of RAM... could that be the issue here?

Also I downloaded the VLC player and the clips work fine on the player... when i try to encode these files.... it freezes up...

My only idea is the RAM might not be enough... what do you think?

or disk space, or processor power, or running processes, or ...

Hard to tell without details.
