More on Out of Memory Error

I recently purchased the CS3 Master Suite. Am running Encore 3.0.1.008. Have a
dual core with 2 gigs, Vista.

Built a medium size movie with a 70 clips, 14 timelines, and 14 menus.
Everything linked nicely, check project finds no errors. Projected size of
result on DVD: 3.003 Gigs.

Invoke build. Transcoder begins. Fails on second clip. Out of Memory Error.

Checked forums. Note existent of these problems going back many months. Tried
various suggestions. Cleared media cache. Rebooted, reentered, restarted. Same
result.

Also came across warning about 2 gig memory limit. However, note that many, many
programs are written with input and output sizes much larger than resident
memory. This is a CS101 design issue.

Because I was obligated to make a release to a client base with high
expectations, I scaled back the project to an embarrassingly small size.
I would call it a demo size as opposed to an acceptable project size.
Of course, I needed to start from scratch. All attempts to prune the original
project to smaller and smaller sizes failed (even with media cache clearing,
rebooting). A project with 1 menu and 2 video clips did build.

My conclusion from this experience is that Encore was designed and tested to
meet alpha-release demo standards. There is the well deserved expectation with
other Adobe products: PhotoShop, Dreamweaver, etc, that production standards can
be achieved.

My forum reading suggests that Encore has been in this crippled state for
months, perhaps years. My question is, when can we expect a fix? There are
plenty of software engineers out there who could bring this up to Photoshop
standards.

When I try to build a DVD this error appears

could not be “read”
