Full Motion Video - memory leak?

Good afternoon.

I am using captivate 1.01.1418.1418 to record and present standalone demos of rich client web technologies. The default capturing techniques just don't cut it, so I need to record the entire demo in full motion video.

What I have noticed is that when you edit the video AND ALSO when running the published demo using either stand-alone or swf object methods that there is a huge memory leak. I am talking to the magnitude of 20-25 meg / second while displaying full motion video.

My latest presentation is 22 slides where 3 of them are short full motion video clips recorded at 1024x768 with no audio. The clips are between 30-90 seconds.

The generated output exe is 6 megs and if I generate it with all compression off it is 11 megs. When I run it, my memory usage goes to 1.7 GIG of Physical Memory and over 2 GIG of Virtual Memory in use. The movie playback then turns solid red and my machine hangs up until I can manage to kill the playback.

Is there a known issue with full motion video and memory leaks? I can understand if it took more memory to run it, but using 3+ gig of RAM to play a 10 meg file? Something sounds off to me.

I had purchased this product to record and display full motion demos and so far it has not been able to meet the needs it promised to deliver.

Any help anyone provides is greatly appeciated.

Please respond here and/or email me at lavoie_ray@hotmail.com.

Thanks in advance for your time.

P.S. I remember seeing the same behavior on my trial version of Captivate 2, however, my trial has expired and I cannot see if the leak is of the same magnitude.
