@DSMan195276 I'm willing to bet that you can't set a buffer high enough to hold all that information. There's a lot of overhead with each image in QB64 and with 1280 * that overhead with each row of data (the images are being created at only a single pixel is size), that's just a crapload of raw basic memory to allocate and shuffle around.
1280 * 720 is close to a million images. Doubled so you can duplicate that information on a hardware image, With each image having 1000 byte header attached to track and reference them, we're talking multiple GBs of information to store and process for the OS.
On 32-bit systems, I'm certain it'd be impossible.
On 64-bit systems, it might work, but I'd honestly bet against it. If it does work, it's probably not going to work as expected, as the sheer mass of information being written and stored is going to consume such a chunk of memory, your OS is going to be spending more time in memory shuffling and management that it is reading and writing that data nicely for you.
