Exceeds the Hard Disk Limit

[fdora]

Help,

I have Corel Video Studio Pro X2. Bought about a year or two ago. Installed on a windows 7 Ultimate 64bit with all updates to both OS and Corel. Haven't used in about 2months and went to make a movie and it failed. No errors in windows logs. I tried making an ISO image - failed; making folders - failed. I then went to the program preferences to see if anything had changed. Upon looking at the Preview settings, I get the message "Exceeds the Hard Disk Limit). I have tried manually inputing parameters for all harddisks installed(2) and combinations of folders etc. Same results. It will not let me move on from that page unless I cancel.

Welcome to the forums,

Have you installed the patches for VS X2? Especially the one addressing compatibility for Win7? This might help, however not certain. VS X2 really is not Win7 compatible. The patch does help some, but others still experience problems after installing the patch.

Your screenshot appears to be of the editor's Preferences dialog. The Preview tab are settings just for what it says, Preview, not a working folder. Where do you have your working folder set to? Also the burn module has its own Preferences dialog. You access it in the lower-right. Open the Preferences for your Burn module, and see what you have set for the working folder there.

That error indicates that VS thinks that your project, video file size is larger than the free space available on your system. Just how large is the project you want to burn? You will need at least twice that size of free space to work with.

The screen shot shows that you have also created a 'Burn Folder' on your 'D' drive - how big is that drive ?

Ron,
I have installed all updates and yes I know these are the preferences for the program. All updates descibed in the documentation as well as web are installed. Even MS updates.

Brian each drive is 1terabyte in size with over 400GB FREE. I am trying to currently burn an 8 gig personal movie to a dual layer disc. Everything reads a status as OK, but the movie wont burn. The only setting that I have as an error is in this area of settings for the program.

There isn't any other place to go for support. There are no problems with windows either. I have cleaned the drives of temp files and looked for crap programs. I am a computer tech and keep my pc clean. Any other he'll soul be greatly. Appreciated. I have reinstalled and the same error exist. There are no error codes to trac, just the message.

Hi

X2 Share Create Disc-DVD

Have you set the disc size as DVD 8.5 Gb (Lower left of burner module) I assume yes.
The option defaults to DVD 4.7G

If your video file is 8 Gb or is that 8.7 Gb then you are very much on the limit given that you will be including a menu that will add to the disc size.
View the actual size in windows explorer.
Oh, are you adding a video file or a project file?

Does the status bar show the size ok or does it show some yellow or red colour .
