cheers folks,
on gain scan on videofiles mediamonkey will not free ram of the decoded/processed files.
reproduction steps:
1. open mm
2. open taskmgr.exe
3. in mm rg-analyse some (10 musicclips,...,suggesting not more than 1 movie) videofiles
4. switch to taskmanager and keep an eye on the used ram which wont get released when rg-scan is finished.
(5. feel free to try what happens if u rg-scan lots of files)

system info:
os: win7 home premium x64 sp1,
hardware: toshiba satellite notebook, intel core i5, 2,3 ghz, 4gb ddr3 ram, gforce 315m
mm: v 4.1 build 1614 & 1616
i would suggest to split the ram usage analog compared to rg-scanning audiofiles, where the decoder.exe thread allocates the memory here the vhelper should allocate it.
and imo it would be smarter for videofiles not to run more than 1 thread at a time, a) better for hd-lifetime and b) videofiles tend to be larger and therefor the decoded audio... 2 longer movies and bamm, theres the error msg.
greets =)
