cmpeg always quits with this error on startup of it:
Image type: TGA24
Image size: 512x384
Encoding 200 frames
malloc failed
I figure thats because its taking up too much memory, but I gave it
all the conventional memory I could, so what could I do?

You could try batch converting your 24bit targa files to 15bit if you
have a program that can do so (uncompressed tga is important to keep).
Supposedly the resulting animation is larger but the two memory "images"
will require less space.

Hello,
Do you have XMS drivers running? Any other background drives should be
disabled and then Cmpeg usually runs fine. It should be run from the DOS
Prompt, not a DOS instance under Windows.
I have always found that booting from a floppy can be a good idea.
Altrentivly you could obtain a better MPEG compiler. MPEG 2 is much better
than MPEG 1. The only problem is that fewer people have access.
Regards,
Luke
