Q: Trying to burn a created movie and the message I get is 'not enough disk space to encode remaining assets' What does this mean?

I am trying to burn a created movie from iDVD and the message I get is 'not enough disk space to encode remaining assets', What does this mean?

    Hi

     

    When making a Video-DVD both the iDVD application and Mac OS needs to do a lot of calculations. They are temporarily stored on Hard Disk as invisably .temp files. And they are many during one project.

     

    That's why Space is needed on the Boot (Start-up) hard disk - non of them can address this to other hard disks or memories.

     

    I never let free space go less than 25Gb on my main drive when doing SL-DVDs and using SD-Video Quality. If HD material is used - about 120-150Gb might well do and if DL-DVD multiply with x2.

     

    Good Luck - Bengt W

    Thanks  for that. I found I had too many. temporary files stored on my hard disk, so after eliminating some I was able to burn my disk.
