Hmm... that's really really strange. I've tried recording 1024x768 & 25fps on my system (total RAM 192MB) and it went fine. I've tried it also on a couple of other computers, and I can't reproduce it. Were you using real-time encoding? Does it appear only once? Does it happen every time? If you have other systems, can you reproduce this over there? If it was just once, I think it isn't and istanbul problem. Maybe the system was already overloaded, and OOM-killer kills the latest running process. You can see with `free` how much *free* memory you have. Also, try to run `top` while recording with istanbul: you will see the percentage of memory used by each process (and in this case in particular by istanbul). Please remember: istanbul is a quite heavy process. If you run it on an already overloaded system, it can probably run out of memory.
