I am using .avi format video's. and for karaoke vcd/s I use the native .dat

Oh, also, I got a 40 gByte internal HD, how much would you expect is necessary free space?

Well, I have 2 systems, i1 is listed in my signature, and one is a hp zd8000 laptop. B0th do video and karaoke as well. on the laptop, I have an 80gig hard drive, and 2 gig ram with an external 500 gig hard drive.

I tried ripping to different video formats, and .avi was the smallest, and the best quality.

You mention memory problem, are you saying HD free space or ram memory?

2 gig ram

Are you saying that with 2Gig ram, I should not be having these problems? Or is it that I need more internal HD free space available?

My Dell is 512 mB, is that WAY TOO low for hoster?

I put the 2 gigs in it because I was having video hickups. The internal hard drive size doesnt matter to me as I only have the OS and the programs on it.

Hoster doesn't require much system RAM (not HDD) to run. Basically, 512MB should be sufficient for most everything. It really sounds like you have something wrong to be experiencing this and the video stopping while searching (dclark asked how many songs you have in your database to help diagnose your problem). This does appear to be a system rellated problem, not a Hoster software problem.

If gduns is running 2GB and doing video shows, I'd seriously consider adding at least up to 1GB.

I see, thanx. I have learned that when doing anything else with videos seems to be very taxing on a system.
The video stopping on autorun happens with nothing else running and the seach function problem happens a lot too with nothing else running, however.

I think I'm gonna go up to 1 gbyte ram if the laptop takes it.
