I think it's trying to tell me the computer is running out of memory while running the conversion... but is there any workaround?

You could have RAM that is failing under heavy load. Download Memtest86+ (also part of the Ubuntu Live CD boot menu choices) and give it a run.
You could have limited (set too small or no more room on the drive) or a bad block in 'Virtual Memory' (your Hard disk).
