Javacv: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Physical memory usage is too high: physicalByte > maxPhysicalBytes

Sometimes when I start recording I get:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Physical memory usage is too high: physicalByte > maxPhysicalBytes

So, you might want to increase that limit...

Could you tell me how? Also I'm not sure what all of this means, could you also clarify this , why it requires bigger value for me sometimes?

I have phone with 3 GB ROM, usually 0.9-1.4 gb is free

On Android the easiest thing to try is the largeHeap attribute:

I have the same issue on my RedHat server, maybe a memory leak? @saudet

@Deallinker Make sure you're using JavaCV 1.4.4. A couple of memory leaks have been fixed.

BTW, I think I've fixed all the memory leaks occurring in FFmpegFrameGrabber and FFmpegFrameRecorder.
