Subject: 30 fps previews?
Content-Length: 1408

Precedence: bulk
Anyone else having trouble getting LW (4.0 pre-release on an P100 with
32 MB ram and WinNT) to do 30 fps previews??
Soon after installing LW I did a 30 frame wireframe preview in Layout
with a simple object (box) and it played back fine at 30 fps with no
problems at all.
Now, even after rebooting and starting clean, nothing, not even a 10
frame preview of the camera sitting perfectly still, will play back
faster than about 4 or 5 frames per second.
(I'd try bending Tek Support's ear about it, but if NewTek doesn't
even know what operating system LW is for... )
BTW, WinNT seems to have the memory management smarts of a brick. Try
turning down your paging file to 2 MB (the minimum) and go use some
ram. You'd think an "advanced" operating system would deal with low-
memory conditions a bit better than throwing up a "Oh shit! I can't
handle a small paging file!" dialog (to paraphrase) and almost not
letting you get into the System program to turn it back up again.
And it froze up when shutting down, to boot. (A pun, that. :)
I'm beginning to think that WinNT doesn't know *how* to free up ram.
Seems silly that Windows NT with 32 MB of ram doesn't seem to be as
capable as an Amiga with 18 megs...
