Media Encoder ate all 64G memory and stopped working

Hi, thank your for the time. I started the queue and the memory usage of ME kept going up slowly, after running for about 7 hours I found that the queue stoped at around 65%, all memory was occupied and ME got frozen.

The whole video is over 3 hours 16 minutes. I don't know if the length were the problem because I successfully output a 1 hour video with similar settings before. Here is part of the log about that output:

Sorry for the inconvenience but the log file is too big and it says "The parameter “className” is missing or invalid." when I try to upload a ZIP. I don' know if its ok that a use GD to share my log file:

I guess you are the first one how tried to encode a >3hrs video with Voukouder. Does the error also occur on a 1pass encode? I'd also recommend to use CRF instead of ABR/VBR if you don't target a specific filesize.

Thanks alot for the sugestion but im doing it to upload it to a video website that requiers 6000Kbps or less so 2Pass seems to be the best choice for now. This time the problem happened during the 2nd pass but I'm not sure if it only happens during the 2nd one because the usage of memory will gradually go up as long as the queue is running from the start.

Normally Premiere allocates as much Ram as possible to to parallelize as much as possible (there is a setting for that. So that is not necessarily a bad thing. Well, it shouldn't crash of course.

I still recommend using CRF. High bitrate doesn't relate to a high visual qualitym a low quantizer value does.

In your case the first pass was fine.

Thx , I will give it a try. Maybe I will find somthing new~
