Error - Java heap space

I downloaded films from youtube with no problems until today I tried to download a film bigger than 2.8g. After the .m4a and .m4v was done, the .mp4 was not made but an error message came out which said : " Error, java heap space". What is that ? How to fix it ?

It's probably some sort of an issue with the built-in DASH multiplexer. You could try muxing the video (m4v) and audio (m4a) tracks together using FFmpeg: [wordrider.net]

FFmpeg succesfully merged the .m4v and .m4a to .mp4. Thanks for ntoskrnl.
However, will the author of the youtube plug-in may fix the build-in DASH multiplexer ?

I'm not sure if the built-in DASH multiplexer can be fixed in current state.

Another solution for Java heap space problem is by increasing max heap: [wordrider.net]

There is also suggestion to automatically execute external program (ffmpeg, or avconv, or others) to merge DASH audio and video instead of using internal DASH multiplexer. We haven't implemented this yet.
