Not enough drive space on C: How can I use a partition?

Version: 2

Nature of the problem: I have a 10gig partition as my C: driver. I only use it to run the operating system, I have a 20 gig and 30 gig partition (E: & F:) that I install programs and store files on. I had no problems building out this project but upon trying to burn it to disc or create the DVD files so as to burn it to disc it requires 7ish gigs of space and is telling me I only have 3ish gigs avaialble. My question is, is there anyway to reroute the target "Convert" folder from my "My Documents" folder files and use one of my other partitions since they have more than ample space?

Properties of your source files (format, file size, where did you get it?) a number of AVI's about 65 - 120 MB each. Downloaded the files via bittorrent.

What devices are involved and their mode of connection? Desktop computer with an internal liteon dual layer DVD burner.

Project Settings: (I'm not sure what this is asking for exactly either)

Output format: DVD

PAL or NTSC: (I don't know what this means)

If MF2 is anything like the following versions then change your "Working Folder" under "Preferences" to point to the paritition that's larger than C:

I looked all over for that type of setting. Didn't see one anyplace obvious (and stupid me being a geek got rid of the manual, cause why would I need that?)

I'll take another look around when I get home and see what I can find.

If anyone knows off hand and could drop that nugget in here that would be wonderful.

As MD said, it's probably in the MF preferences, not in the project settings. You can also just look/search in program help categories.

If you never heard of NTSC and PAL then you are probably in the US where the NTSC standard is used.

The first thing to know in the world of TV and video is that there are different TV/video standards.
Unlike TVs and DVD players in PAL areas like Australia and Europe, consumer equipment in the US usually only can play NTSC.

I found it. It was hiding under the Save button for some god aweful reason. Thanks for the help.
