Blu-ray Dual layer code 25 "not enough space on media"

Question

Using Encore CS6 (Cloud edition) to build Blu ray Dual Layer on Mac. Project is 34.75 GB. While building Blu-ray Image all is well until Data written 34.75 GB of 34.75 GB. Then the dreaded "Blu-ray Error: "not enough free stoarage", Code: "25", Note: "Note enough space on media" comes up and the buld is stopped. I repeated by building a new project with the same results. There is over 100 GB of free space on the hard drive. I paritially rebuilt the project at 22.5 GB and tried it as a single layer image. Everything worked fine for that Blu-ray image, so it appears this could have something to do with the Dual layer nature of the larger project. Any help and guidance would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

I would point out three points. You can try them in order:
You can apply the 6.0.2 patch that is available (if you have not done so) because the patch has a fix around this issue.
There is a lot of space requirements for the dual layer BD project. Here is the list of almost all the things that would need space:
First the asset's indexed files would need space. For audio files, there might be conforming happening that again would need space.
Then when yoy build the project, the assets will be transcoded (if already not or they are not Don't Transcode). This would take a considerable amount of space as the transcoded assets are complete footage which would be huge.
Then while creating a image file, First all the files (muxed video streams) would be copied on the disc in a folder (generally named BDMV) and then at the final step, they would be copied from the BDMV folder to the iso file and finally the BDMV folder would get deleted. So this step would need almost double the size of your project. IF your project is say 35 GB, then this step alone would take more than 70GB.
               So the space requirement for a 35 GB (Disc Info) project might go to almost 100 GB.
But again there is some bug in size estimation for Motion menus and slideshows. Encore says that they will occupy lesser space but actually they are going to occupy more space. So if your project has motion menus or slideshow, then the estimation might be incorrect. So if it showing 35 GB (for example) and your project has motion menu or slideshow, then actually it might be 37GB or more or anything greater than 35GB depending on the slideshow and motion menu duration in the project.
