Re: Virtual memory

There are several reports that when the recording limit is removed from NX1 it crashes after ~74min in 4k mode with unusable file (IIRC ~43GB or similar). After examining the files produced during the crashes it was obvious that there is a memory leak during the audio or video recording (ie. imagine if every second your camera reserves a small amount of RAM and forgets to "unreserve" it when it's done - when all the RAM is exhausted the recording crashes). Now, this does not manifest itself without removing video limit and does not manifest itself on NX500 as it still has 15 min limit in 4k so it's impossible for any of the three of us (Vasile, Kino, me) to test (we all have NX500).

Several people asked for solution, I provided a possible solution (using a part of the internal "disk" for "more" available virtual RAM to camera) but noone has even tried to see if it makes any difference (one possible reason is that it takes over an hour and a card of at least 64GB to test

TLDR - it would be very appreciated if you could test it and report back

@Kino regarding credits and such - I don't really care. All of us put so much effort into all this, there's no way we are doing this without liking it in the first place. I'm just happy as a hedgehog that people are finding my work useful. Today somebody sent me an impressive macro shot of tiny spider done via focus_stack in 60 (!) images and that's enough for me.
