Rip as one: crash

[Saint Russell]

Because I had installed a trial R12, which I could not evaluate because I intended to use Rip as One nearly exclusively, I could not evaluate R13. So I bought it. I hope I didn't make a mistake by doing that.

I just tried to rip a CD and I got this dialog:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Illustrate\dBpoweramp\CDGrab.exe
abnormal program termination

I rebooted and tried again. Same result.

I'm running XP SP2. Very stable.

What steps are you doing that lead to this crash? Does it happen with multiple CDs or just a few?

Procedure:

Start CD Ripper
Insert CD and wait for it to be read
Click "Rip as 1"
Click "OK"
Click "Rip"
CD ripping begins, gets to "Rip Status: Pass 1 Ripping 99%"

First CD: Visual C++ Runtime error as noted above
Second CD: ditto
Third CD: CD Ripper terminated, Windows reported "Virtual memory minimum too low" in taskbar

Adjusted virtual memory settings
Old: 384 minimum, 768 maximum
New: 1024 mininum, 1024 maximum

Fourth CD: Both errors appear (Visual C++ Runtime and "Virtual memory minimum too low")

I rebooted before each attempt.

This is a P4 2.4 GHz with 512MB RAM.

512MB? Ouch. Burst or Secure ripping?

I'd double the VM, but I'd also suggest at least 1GB of RAM, preferably 2GB for Rip As One.

Secure mode is not recommended for rip as one with less than 2GB + 2GB of virtual memory.

Thanks, that's useful information that somehow I missed learning about before purchase. Where are the system requirements/recommendations?

[Spoon]

Depends on what options you confgure, for example if you use rip as one with a minimum of 10 passess then you could need 6GB of memory (virtual), that is why there is a memory warning on the rip as one page.

Which I couldn't see until I bought the product, because I installed a trial of R12, from which Rip at One had been removed, and so was barred from evaluating R13, and was not warned by any specification of system requirements that a hardware upgrade would be required. Lesson learned, I suppose.
