[HTC Rezound] Chucktr:
Thanks for the reply..

Don't think that I am gona go with the water cooled concept. Sounds good -but- a little more than I care to endeavor. "My Fix" for the 'elder' PC was to get a bigger, power wise, power supply. My most 'recent' PC still only has the 300 watt supply. I have not replaced the graphics card in it ... yet. It is "mainly" for building these "Rez OS's". Believe it or not... that is the only reason I got it. My FULL builds went from 6 to 8 hours down to an hour -- and usually less because of the ccache. I have BOTH of my PC's up on my desk for relatively the same reason that you do. -But- I used to do a lot of disc reading and I needed them up and handy. Times are different now -but- I still keep my 'puters up where I can see them and access them easily. My wife has hers on the floor ... and as you mentioned ... it gets "dust bunny's" faster. Still going though --- and an UnPaid for ad for HP... ALL of my machines are HP's. Including the Laptop. I service PC's on the side and 'IF' one of my customers needs a new PC ... I always recomend and/or purchase one, an HP, for them. So far, everyone is happy.

The Camcorder problem is really silly. IF anyone is interested in contributing ... the main findings of mine are:

1. At the "default" memory settings it will only record 3 videos. Then a reboot is required to get more.

2. It does NOT appear to be afftected by the length of the video. I recorded a Paul McCartney performance and had various lengths of recordings. Mainly cause I had NOT done it before and I did NOT know how much memory they would consume and the Power usage. As it turned out... I could have recorder the whole thing. -BUT- only 3 at a time. Had to reboot after every third video.

3. An increase in the "allowable" memory allowed 6 vids -before- requiring a ReBoot. Doesn't really make sense ... to me ... cause the vids are of various lengths and the total of the sizes are more than the allowable memory... -BUT- you will get ALL of the vids. This is a hybrid build which means that it is using some PMEM and some ION memory allocation... and the PMEM is mostly for the Camera. These memory managers/allocators operate a little differently... -but- the ION is using the PMEM where the Camera is concerned. I think I am remebering that correctly. Thought I was getting somewhere till I got my new PC and had to spend so much time getting it to function properly for these builds. Windows 8 can be a "real pain". And changes in the hardware and software because of it can be -and is- a real headache. As some of you know, I am retired, and I don't have the "heavy" electronic envolvement that I used to ... so it takes me a little longer.

4. At any rate, I still believe that it is in the "Buffers" and that the memory is NOT gettting released properly. Not sure how that deals with the counts -but- just increasing the mem... two times greater... gives twice as many vids ... but they can be ... and are ... various sizes. -BUT- twice the mem gives twice the number of recordings. This increase in memory is in the Kernel. I had some problems and decided to not use it any more... till I got a handle on it. Don't know IF any of you have used it ... no one has commented on it.

5. One of the Rez team members is working on the CM12 --- for the Rez. He thinks that the Camcorder may be fixed through it. Hope he is right. In the meantime... I am working on the current CM11 ... now that my 'puters are back up and working.

... ... Happy New Year to All

-Chuck

P.S.

I still like my Rez and have no plans to replace it soon. So as long as I have it... this site will continue. May be a little bit of a delay for a short time -but- we will get back on it... soon I hope. :silly:
