What RAM usage during VRimg2EXR?

[Morne]

Hi all

I have a 7K vrimg file with about 12 elements and the size of the file is 2GB. I need to extract this but it takes very long. (almost an hour on my i7 2600k)
Now I need to do the same thing DURING a render on a different file (same specs as 1st). I'm worried however that the render will crash because the vrimg2exr is using too much ram.

Any guesses as to how much ram will be used? (I have 16gb which is mostly being used by the current render and windows and my browser)

You can use the -bufSize option to specify the about of RAM for the conversion (which will be multiplied by the number of render elements in the file). The default is 10 MB per render element which may be too low.
