"MemoryError" during file conversion
I've run quite a lot of .epub-to-.mobi conversions (hooray Calibre!), but this is my first time running into this particular problem - below is the text of the error log right before the process terminates.
I think it's trying to tell me the computer is running out of memory while running the conversion... but is there any workaround? Thanks in advance for all your help! ----- Quote:

If you wrap it in spoiler tags (the eye with the red X through it) the thread will still be manageable to view as we progress. Even if you wrap all of the [...] area in a spoiler tag and leave the error in the clear it would help us be able to examine the log closer. Quote:

You could have limited (set too small or no more room on the drive) or a bad block in 'Virtual Memory' (your Hard disk). |

Oh, thank you for the heads-up about the spoiler tags - it's been a while since I was last here and I couldn't remember how to do that, so I was worried about spamming the board with the gigantic error log. Sorry! Here it is, this time in full.
Spoiler:
I definitely have enough room on my hard drive, so that's not the issue here. I have not run Memtest, but (in case it is relevant at all) my physical memory usage does not climb beyond 76% during conversion before the process cuts out. OS-wise, this computer is nothing very unusual: Windows 7 (64-bit version) with Service Pack 1. Edited to add: At your suggestion, I've just tried the conversion from .epub to .rtf format - still no luck. I get the same error dialogue after the "Python function terminated unexpectedly" line.

Because it hasn't been said yet, have you rebooted your computer and tried again?
I'd suggest submitting a bug report with the epub attached. Find out how to submit a report here. If the ePub is copyright mark the ticket as Private. After creating a bug ticket you can mark the ticket as private by clicking on the Yellow icon with the exclamation point in it following the "This report is public" in the top right hand side of the ticket.

There are two possibilities here
1) Either your computer simply doesn't have enough RAM+Vmem to run this conversion 2) Something in your input document is malformed causing runaway memory consumption IMO the latter is more likely, though to be able to say for sure we'd need access to the input document. |

Hello, I have a new Kindle and have been going through organizing my library in .mobi files. I recently came to a similar problem and signed-up to post my log. So here's hi from lurk land.
Shall I post the log here or on launchpad? |

The log is useless, we need the file.

I had this problem and I managed to solve it, so I want to share the solution here for future reference.
Solution: Use Calibre 64-bit version. I see that when I use Calibre 32-bit (which is the portable verison), I got the error "Memory Error" when Memory hits about (if I remember correctly) 2GB - Task Manager showed that my Memory hits about 50% at that time - so I know that it's limitation of the 32-bit verison, not the limitation of my RAM. So I switch to Calibre 64-bit (which required installing) and it won't have that Memory Error anymore. |
