MF 2 Not Enough Disc Space Error

Post by rward39571 »

I have MF2.10.2000.0160

The program says I need 8.3 GB of hard drive (which sounds awfully high) and I have 26.6, and that I need 4.2 GB on the DVD and I have 4.4, but at the last minute it refuses to burn because it says I don't have enough disc space. I have tried going to a smaller sample rate, all the way down to 2400 kbps (which brings the space requirements down considerably), but I always get the same error message 93066:1:0.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I am not an expert, but I have been burning videos for many years.
If I had your problem, I would try burning my project as in image (ISO) on your hard drive. If this works, you can then use MF (or other burning sofwares) to burn this image on your DVD disk.

If you can't burn your image (ISO file) on your hard drive, it can be only for two reasons: error in the conversion of your video files or not enough space on your hard drive.

If you can't burn your ISO file on your DVD disk, it may be that your burner has some problem. I guess that you already tried using another empty disc in it.

The described problem is usually due to a very fragmented HDD with not enough space for the swap file, temp files and the output file. You might find 26.6 GB a huge amount of disk space but in the world of video editing, that is not enough for even a small project.

Defrag your HDD after deleting anything no longer needed to free up space and then run your project again. Hopefully you might be able to finish it. I would suggest to get another HDD, dedicated to video work, fitted. Just look at the system spec's of most people here. You might find that nobody works with as little HDD space as you have.

Any video editing program needs to have space. You need at least about 3 times the source file size free in order to edit satisfactorily. Add to that the required space for the swap file which is used by the OS and you will find that you are at the limits with the free space you have. Frequently defragging the HDD's is also advisable because the reported "free" space may be made up of small clusters all over the disc.
