I am receiving System Out Of Memory Exceptions when using the Windows .EXE EXIF to extract metadata. Is there a way to increase the memory that EXIF will use. I know I have ample computer memory (32GB) and my performance monitor shows I never exceed 25% useage; the problem seems to be in EXIF.
Thank you,
Bill
Hi Bill,
The memory limitation is a known problem (https://exiftool.org/index.html#problems) in Windows. However, the memory limit is usually sufficient to cover all files except some odd PostScript files. I don't know any way to increase the memory allocation for the application in Windows.

Thanks for the quick response. In my case, the file is an Adobe Premiere project file. I read the project file to obtain information about media files used in the project. I use the C# wrapper to interface to the .exe module. I will look for a wrapper that can utilize the Perl code directly.
