EDIT: I now cannot seem to reclaim memory by using Eject twice.
Eject doesn't close the file handle. Unmount does.

Please try VCD 5.4.2.2, which should fix this issue:

Look closer. The release notes say it.So bottom line even it does not say in release notes, the latest 5.4.2.5 supports Win7 7000?
Hello all,
I have the same problem here.
Hardware:
HP EliteBook 8450W
8 GB RAM
i7 Q740 1.73 GHz
500GB SATA HD
Software:
Windows 7 64-bit
VCD 5.4.5.0
I am also accessing an 8 GB ISO-file located on a SAMBA-Share.
The page file and the memory usage grows until its maximum (cache usage), then the computer is nearly "dead", it is still working but realy slowly.
I used the "workaround" to copy the ISO-file to the local harddisk and then mount it ... in this situation, there is no special cache usage. But this is not the sense of a server in the network with all ISO-files on it ;-)
Is there any fix available?
BR,

Hi,
The same goes with me. But i only have that problem since around the second week of February 11. At first it appeared on my HTPC running Vista HP32 and then during research i discovered it on my Notebook (Vista HP32) and my Desktop (W7 HP64) too. It only shows up when an image is mounted via a network share!
The original Problem was that while playing BD images with PowerDVD from my server the playback got stuck after 10..15 minutes and my HTPC began the "swap of death" because there was no mem left to work with...
I found out that while copying large files out of the image to a local HD for example, the ammount of used memory continues to rise steadily - until 100% is reached. Then a read or write error occures which isn't real actually. The memory stayes allocated until anydvd is disabled (in case it's running) or until VCD is disabled. So anydvd isn't a problem here. I even tried to uninstall my virus scanner and it didn't help so far. The VCD update from March didn't change anything there.
The next step was to uninstall all the Windows updates and other updates from the begining of February on - that didn't help either...
The most disturbing thing was my last test. I rolled back to a backup image from September 10 and discovered the problem was still there! But in September 10 i didn't had it... Very strange.
So from there on, i have to copy all images to the local HD prior to view them - which is really annoying.
After all the many hours, i spent to narrow down the source of this issue it would be great if someone could post a solution...
Regards
UPDATE:
I found VCD 5.4.4.0 by googling. Tried it and it does not exhibit the mem leak problem.
Summary:
VCD 5.4.5.0 => memory leak
VCD 5.4.4.0 => OK
Currently running 5.4.4.0, I have tried everything in this forum so far with no success. What am I doing wrong? Any ideas not yet mentioned?
Result after the second test on my HTPC:
It´s working again!
Here´s what i did:
- uninstalled VCD 5.4.5.0
- reboot
- installed VCD 5.4.4.0
- test -> failed
- removed the ckeckmark on "Buffered I/O"
- reboot
- test -> worked!
