Python stops executing because it runs out of memory. There is literally no way to store the data needed for the conversion, so there is no way to finish it.
RAM usage would of course increase with the duration of the conversion, as the conversion process generates new data while running, otherwise it would be quite useless...

i also have noticed that there are 2 calibre-parallel.exe processes running along with calibre.exe one calibre-parallel uses around 30mb memory and the other uses over 200mb and climbs during the conversion process. any ides why? maybe a calibre developer would step in and answer this question; but i would like to hear your take on the issue.

Calibre-parallel is the worker process, Calibre is the GUI program. Because of that, the calibre-parallel process that does the actual conversion of course, as noted above, increases in size.
