VS10+ Crashing during "Create Disk"

Post by elai1108 »

I have a large project (2+ hours of MPEG videos) which I'm trying to create a disk image for. When I try to create the ISO file, it seems to be processing ok for about 2 hours, then the application crashes and closes out with no specific error message. This has happened twice so far.

I am trying to figure out what is the problem. I have installed SP1 already.
I first thought it may be a drive space issue; when I took a closer look, the working folder is trying to use my C: drive, even though I specified a different drive (G:) in the project Preferences. However, my C: drive has just enough space (17GB) for the estimated output of 15GB, so drive space does not seem to be the issue here.

Has anyone experienced this problem? Any idea how I can change the working folder?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Probably is a space issue. VS is also using the C drive for temp files as well as the 15gig you calculated for the project and so is running out of space.
When you go to the "Burn" module go into the preferences of that screen and you will find that you can nominate another drive (working folder) for the disk image.
It is a quirk of VS that there are two places you can do this. Think of the burning module as a separate program with its own preferences.
