The "Memory" menu contains only one menu item which serves to display the current amount of memory (in kilobytes) which PICT-Play can use for movie frame storage.  The amount of free memory is displayed as the menu item, so selecting this menu item has not affect.

If you do not have enough memory to load your complete movie into memory, there are several things you can do to help solve this problem:

1) Try giving PICT-Play more memory using the Finder's "Get Info" function under the file menu.  You need to quit PICT-Play in order to do this.  If PICT-Play is already using all available memory, then you will need to purchase more memory.  To purchase more memory, contact your Apple dealer.

2) Decrease the number of colors which your monitor is displaying, then close and re-open your movie.  If you need to set the monitor to display fewer than 256 colors, then your movie will generally look best with the monitor in gray-scale mode.  The affect of your monitor settings on memory requirements is described in the "Movie Menu" chapter.

3) Only load every second or third frame in your movie.  This is controlled using the "Frame Settings..." dialog box which is described in the "Movie Menu" chapter.

4) Reduce the size of each frame as it is loaded into memory.  This is controlled using the "Frame Settings..." dialog box which is described in the "Movie Menu" chapter.

5) Convert your movie to QuickTime format and display it directly from disk using available QuickTime applications.  This pros and cons of doing this are described in the "Overview" chapter.
