VS11 dv-to-dvd wizard problems (space is not enough..)

Post by mallikar »

DV to DVD wizard is not at all a reliable utility. I believe that this is a very frustrating feature. Some times works and some times doesn't. After capturing the video, giving the following error at the time of burning the DVD.

The space is not enough. do u want to continue? (yes/no)

Some times proceeds to burn the dvd, if I give yes and some times fails saying burning was not successful. After spending 5 hours of time, seeing this type of unexpected results. I have installed ulead VS 11 plus trial version on window XP. I do have enough space in the local hard disk( 50GB free space) and the dvd media I have used is a brand new media and the same media may work, if I try second time or third time. The problem symptoms are very intermittent.

Any ideas to avoid this type of unresolved inconveniences?

Thanks in advance

Sometimes 50 gig may not be enough. It depends on how complex and large your project is. If you are attempting to create 1½ hour or 2 hour DVD, you are trying to slide by with a very small amount of disk space. If you're using DV, then just for 1 hr of video it requires 13 gig to hold it. Then you need to edit it, so add to that another 13 gig. We're all of a sudden up to 26 gig, and we have not started to create the DVD. Video editing requires very large Hard drives, with a lot of free space to work with. If your running other applications while trying to edit or burn, and they require using your swap file, that is also going to take away from the available space for your video editing application.
Did you set up a working folder that is located where VS has plenty of space to work with? I would recommend if you only have one hard-drive, to invest in a second one. This will allow your OS to work on one drive, and you set your working folder (for all the temp files created while editing and burning) to use the second one. Then provided you keep your video working HDD defragged, you shouldn't see this type of error.

MPEG video files will provide small file sizes, so would free up some disk space, however I personally don't try to edit MPEG.
