Memory usage for video
« on: March 26, 2015, 03:06:38 pm »

I noticed that MC20 - when playing audio using "memory playback" - correctly allocates RAM space as needed for the size of the one track that is loaded into memory.

Normally, I cannot see how much memory is used during video playback, because I use full screen exclusive mode. :)

However, due to another issue, I checked.  For playback of a 1.6gb video file, MC20 was using a total of about 1gb of RAM.

Is memory playback being used for the audio portion of a video, when memory playback is checked ?

Or does MC20 read a large part of the video into RAM ?

(I'm using Build 87 and madVR/Red October HQ)

Memory Playback is not used for video.
The size of your buffers in madVR directly affects memory usage.
