Guidelines for Free Space needed to successfully burn DVD?

I have been struggling for the last three weeks to get a successful burn of an iDVD (7.0.4) home movie using my 2005 iMacG5Power PC, OS10.5.6.
The movie I’m trying to burn has the following characteristics:
Edited in Final Cut Express (3.5), 45 minutes in length, with 10 Chapter Markers, and containing a 50-50 mix of 4x3 and 16x9 video clips downloaded into QuickTime files from a Sony TRV70 (standard Definition) and a Canon HD Vixia HV30. Although the Canon original mini-DV tapes are High Definition, I captured them as standard def in 16x9 format.
From FCE, I exported the edited movie as a QuickTime, self contained “Sequence” movie file which has a total size of ~28Gigs.
I dragged this Sequence QT movie file into iDVD having selected the Version 7.0 Sunflower theme, proceeded to author this theme with JPG pictures, and with inserted favorite iTunes selections. The iDVD movie file fully authored resulted in a 1.8G “.dvdproj” file, and a 3.2G “.img” file.
I have ~52G of free space on my start up drive.
I have not been able to get through a successful burn whether I use iDVD or Disk Utility or Toast 6.0 Time after time I get an error message at the very end of the iDVD process that says: “Multiplexer Error-There was an error during formatting”.
I have tried burning the disc image using Disk Utility and with Toast with similar results, …….after about 4 hours of elapsed encoding time, the process quits and spits out the DVD media at a point that often is involved with writing lead-in or lead-out functions, or something that says no response from hardware.
To check software and hardware functionality, today I spent “testing” all of this by using a random 3 minute portion of the overall 45 minute movie, and produced successful burns with iDVD, Disk Utility, and Toast.
Question
Is 52 G of free space on my start up drive sufficient for a Sequence QT movie of 28G ?
Tougher Question
How does one check his original edited FCE movie for potential errors that could affect the final burning process? (I have checked CHAPTER markers for placement, and frame spacing on either side of markers)
The iDVD Project Info pane and Project flow map show no red warnings; I’m well within the size and time guidelines for Best Performance burning on a standard 4.7G DVD-R medium.
Help…..this is getting frustrating. I think I did a great job editing this home movie, but the only way I will be able to show it off, is to have the family sit in front of the iMac!! Up till now, I have burned many one hour home movies using Tiger and iDVD 5 on this same iMac. What’s going on?
Thanks in Advance,
BoBo

the less-desscriptive 'multiplexing error' message usually does NOT indicate not enough disk space.
but ..
check project
• no involved file (audio, video, stills) should contain a 'bad character' in its name / | \ . … ; , ; ...
• no part should be 'audio less' .. e.g. iPhoto slideshows without music can create such an error
• you need at last 10-15GBs free on internal/if partitioned: MacOs-drive for using iDVD

Script for Free Space in Datafiles

Hi
Got the below script from metalink [130866.1] to identify free space within a data file.Couple of questions
1)Is dba_Free_Space an exact indicator of how much space is available in a file.
2) What is the significance of using blocks in vs using bytes.
cursor c_freespace(v_file_id in number) is
select block_id, block_id+blocks max_block
from dba_free_space
where file_id = v_file_id
order by block_id desc;
Thanks in advance for you help.

I'm getting different readings for free space

So I'm a little worried. I have an early 2008 MacBook Pro with a 750GB hard drive that I recently put in. I just did a system wipe and restore, and now I'm getting 2 different readings of vastly different amounts for free space. Disk Utility and About My Mac both label it at 433.29 Gigs, but Finder rates it at 590.3 Gigs! I'm fairly certain the About My Mac has the storage space correct. I have turned off mobile Time Machine backups, and I know there's a hidden partition for Recovery, but shouldn't Finder know about this? Disk Utility shows the hard drive as fine. Any other thoughts?

See if this link offer some explanations:

You might download from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it. It will give you a record of all your files and the respective sizes and you can compare that to your MBP stats.

I cannot successfully burn DVDs

Hi, I cannot successfully burn DVDs. Every time I try, I end up wasting a disk because though it will read on the computer, there is No Play on the actual DVD player hooked up to the television. If anyone can offer help, tell me what to do and where to go to make this a success...thanks in advance

First which MacBook do you have? The 1.83 ghz does not have a burner. What program are you trying to burn with?
Here is some info for the dvd

How many GB of free space needed to install Leopard?

Before I install Leopard to upgrade my computer (I currently have Panther), how much free space is recommended? I have about 6 GB, I know not much... I am currently moving a lot of photos over to an external hard drive to free up more space. But not sure how much space is really needed. Any advice?

You should definitely get a LOT more free space. 6GB is very little even if you run panther. you need at least 15-20% of hard drive space free to avoid problems resulting from disk fragmentation. leopard needs about 11GB but as I said you need way more than that for normal computer operation. you should free up space and maybe get a bigger drive. I would also recommend defragging your drive before attempting leopard installation given how little free space you've got now. one way to do that is to clone your system to another drive, boot from that drive and clone it back to the internal drive.

Have you successfully burned DVD+R/DL disks with DSP 4?

I'd like to hear from anyone who has successfully burned a dual-layer project to a DVD+R/DL burner using DVD Studio Pro Version 4 and a THIRD PARTY burner (NOT a Apple SuperDrive that came with the G5).
What drive are you using?
Is it external or did you upgrade the internal drive?
What media are you using?
Are there any notable problems have you encoutered along the way? Any words of wisdom to share regarding dual-layer DVD projects?
I think an answer to these questions would help lots of readers, thanks in advance for taking the time to respond.
Cheers!

I have burned successfully direct from DVDSP and Toast
Toast worked for me, but DVD Studio Pro did not.
LaCie had no interest in helping resolve the
problems with DVD Studio Pro. They only wanted
to talk about Toast. I don't use Toast, I use
DVD Studio Pro, so after wasting days back and
forth with LaCie support, I decided, better to
purchase the Plextor PX-750UF that I know and
verified works with DVD Studio Pro. I wish, I
wish, LaCie would have helped me with using it
with DVD Studio Pro, but they said, they do not
provide technical support for third party products.

I'm in South Africa,I can't update my application for free,it needs to bill me on iTunes

I'm in South Africa,I can't updates my free application it needs to bills me even on free application

Hello, Muofhe.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you are attempting to update applications and iTunes is indicating that there was a problem with a purchase. If this is the case, the purchase must be satisfied before and updates can be process. You can verify this by accessing your purchase history via the steps in the article below.

Space needed for Photoshop Elements 9

Hi. I am an amateur photo taker but want to step it up a bit and am considering getting Elements 9. I recently purchased a small NETbook to use just for photos- to alter them and post them online and then I will be saving them on an external hard drive or CD due to space limitations. The computer only came with 2gb of space. I am afraid that if i purchase elements, it might not load. My external hard drive has quite a bit of space available so I was thinking I could run the installation through that for the spaces needed. I was curious if anyone knew if it would falter during the install. I just tried to download the trail on my work computer which has 3.13gb of space free and that said not enough space. so now I am worried.

You may also experience display problems e.g. not seeing all of the program real estate.
A common display resolution, notably for notebooks/laptops and netbooks is 1024 x 768 but PSE9 requires a screen height of 800 for full functionality.

'Back-up is corrupt.', "Not enough free space"

I got my third ipod touch (4th gen) yesterday and I'm having trouble backing it up to my iTunes account. The first time, after it tried to restore, it said "The backup is corrupt or not compatible"-something like that. Later, it tried to sync and I got another pop-up, something like "There is not enough free space. free space needed is 2.77 GB". i then deleted several songs and apps until it went down to 1.01GB. I then started unchecking things, etc. At one point I had absolutely everything unchecked. The colored bar at the bottom that tells you the number of what data is songs, books, etc. was one big yellow bar of "other" (even though I had apps, movies, etc. unchecked!!). I then tried to sync one more time...and it STILL needs 1 megabyte, yes, just 1 megabyte. i didn't have this problem at all when i backed up my second ipod...(my first ipod broke, my second was lost). The only difference is...this ipod is white. the other 2 were black. does it really make a difference? Oh, and I did another restore today...same "backup is corrupt message"... I x-outed and open up itunes again on my computer, it tried to sync but once again i got "needs 1.01 GB" (everything I unchecked before is back, the bar of data is now a rainbow again). Oh and one more thing: my second ipod was having numerous problems just before it was lost...whenever I synced it, it would often disconnect itself because "the temperature was too high" (when it was room temperature) or "this device is not compatible" (even though I was using a USB chord). I would almost always get pop-ups about there not being enough storage for the backup on iCloud...but I'm not using iCloud, I'm using iTunes on windows...what can I do????

Thanks for taking the time to follow up and offer your insight. It looks like your solution hasn't really worked for me, but what I have noticed is this:
It seems to occur when I change my backup option from "computer" to "icloud"
I suspect that itunes does not like me switching it back and forth, and bugs out upon syncing.
If you're wondering why I switch between the two, sometimes (like last week, when a new over-the-air update was released), I wanted to update my iOS immediately, so as usual, I *always* backup before upgrading the iOS.
I'll try deleting all my iCloud backups, and see if we have some success.
Stay tuned.

Not Enough Free Space on NetBoot Image Partition

Since the NetBoot server isn't all that popular, I'm going to explain how it works a bit before I get into my problem.
I assume everyone knows how it works on the client end. You choose an image and your Mac boots that image over the network. Quick, easy, painless. It's a cool system. So on the server/admin side…
Every version of OS X Server comes with it's own System Imaging Utility. So lets say you want to make a netboot image with some utilities on it. So you take an external hard drive. Make two partitions on it. On one partition, you set it up to be the netboot image. So you install all of the utilities you want installed. You configure all of the preferences just the way you want them. Set your background image, etc, etc. On the other image, you just do a quick clean plain installation of your OS. And you also install your OS X Server Admin tools (or in case of 10.8, the Server app). So once your image-to-be is configured, you boot the second partition, and run the imaging utility. This utility will turn your volume into a netboot image. A netboot image is basically just a folder with some .plists in it, a read-only disk image of your initial volume, and a kernel or two (10.5).
NetBoot images are read-only. So when you boot them, you can make as many changes as you want. But once you shut down, all changes are lost. Every time any mac boots a netboot image, it is booting the image exactly as it was when you made it. The changes you make are stored in shadow files on the server that you can periodically toss, since they are only used during the current active session. Once you reboot, the shadow files are useless.
So here is the problem: When you make a netboot image from a real volume, the utility only leaves a small amount of free space on the volume. Even though the disk image is read only, the amount of free space matters because that's still all you get to use. In other words, if the .dmg file in the netboot image i just made only has 900 MB of free space in the volume, then that's all I get for free space on any machine I boot off that image. Even though the image is read only, and all of the "free space" is actually being stored as shadow files on the server, that limit is still applied. And 900 MB is not very much free space. So you can boot a utilities volume and if a program eats up a lot of ram, that virtual memory can eat up what little free HD space you have, and suddenly your netboot image is not very functional.
Now being the clever fellow that I am, I came up with a solution to this problem last time around. I used the following command to resize the partition (and only the partition) of the .dmg file, inside the netboot image (netboot images are just folders).
hdiutil resize -size 60g -partitiononly NetBoot.dmg
This resized the volumes to 60 GB. But it was all blank space, so the .dmg file's size did not change. It would just mount as a read only volume with 40 GB of free space instead of a few hundred MB. This little trick worked very well. But it's not working any more. I can't figure out why. But every time I try to run this command on the .dmg file, I get an error very similar to the following:
hdiutil: resize request 125829120 is above maximum size 18005952 allowed.
hdiutil: resize: failed. Invalid argument (22)
I get this error while running 10.8, 10.7, or 10.6. I get this error whether I'm trying to resize an image containing 10.8, 10.7, 10.6, 10.5, 10.4 or 10.3. I get this error whether I convert the image to a read/write image first, or even a spare image first. I get this error whether the original hard drive that volumes were on, is partitioned as APM or GUID.
The "maximum size" listed in the error message is different for each image I try to resize. It's as if the tool is trying to fit the increase volume inside the existing free space of the image's volume. Which isn't what I'm trying to do at all.
I've been using netboot images filled with utilities for years now. And overall it works very very well. I started back when the first macbooks came out with no firewire. I quickly realized I needed a better solution than booting my Mac into firewire mode to repair other Macs. And then when I got into it, I realized I could host images of all different OS versions. So now I can plug my MBP into a client's network, and boot any Mac they have off of a utility volume of any version of Mac OS X needed, all the way down to 10.3, all at the same time. And I also have NetInstall volumes too that let me install OS X for all these versions as well. The only real quirk I've had over the years, is this 'free' space issue. In the past (before the last time I updated my images, where I used the command above to resize the partitions and solve the problem), what I've done when I've ran into a HD pinch while working, is to immediately start deleting apps I don't think I'm going to need, right off the netbooted Mac. This frees up space on the netboot volume and the system is happy. And again it's all read only, so I'm not actually making changes to the image itself. One real half assed solution I thought of was to set up all of my netboot volumes as having a 1 GB file in their trash and not emptying it before creating a netboot image from the volume. Then when this problem came up and the OS was running out of disk space, I could just empty the trash. I'm quite sure this little trick would have worked, but it's so half-assed. I'd much rather just have more free space on the mounted disk images.

But how did my command work so perfectly last time? Here's an image. On the left, the info window of the disk image inside my 10.7 Utilities netboot image. On the right, the info window for that disk image's mounted volume. The file is only 7 GB and the volume is a 30 GB volume with ~23 GB free. None of the free space of the volume is using up any actual disk space in the .dmg file. I did this once, there's got to be a way to reproduce this again?
Here's the same thing with my 10.6 Utilities netboot image. Also in case I'm not being clear, these netboot images these screen shots are of, are from the last time I updated my netboot images ~11 months ago. These are not my current batch that I'm trying to finalize.

Lots of free space that I cant use 5c

Hi,
I have a iphone 5c, and I can only put a small amount of music on it. There is months of music on my computer, but when I 'autofill' it only puts about a hundred songs on. Afterwards there is about 5gB of free space on my phone. I also cant update apps etc as it thinks there is no free space left. I have checked I am not resrving this space for free space in the settings and I have done a software update to 8.2 and also a restore, but no joy. Why is it doing this?

You need an external disk that is formated as HFS+ with a GUID partition map.
You can use either Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to create the clone.
Once ypu have the clone you can boot from my holding down the option key ater power on.
Once booted from the clone open Disk Utility.
Select the internal drive.
Click partition.
Select single partition.
Once drive has bee formated, restore the clone nack with the application used to make the original clone.
Boot from internal drive.

To check the space.need quick help

i have to export a whole schema.how should i check if i have the enough space for tht.waht are the commads for it.
and i need to know how big is the schema.

thnxs in advance
Navneet

Hi,
Not sure whether you are looking out for free space or used space.
If you want to know how big is the schema, then execute the following query:
select sum(bytes/1024/1024) SIZE_MB from dba_segments
where owner = <Schema_name>;
If you want to know how much free space is available in your database then execute the following query :
select tablespace_name, sum(bytes/1024/1024) FREE_MB from dba_free_space group by tablespace_name;

Can I download Oracle9i for free

Hi,
When I was searching through google for free database downloads, I come accross the following url :
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html
where I can see all oracle products, can I download Oracle9i for free, so that I don't face problem with regarding to payment etc, in future. Wherein I am using JBoss developing ejbs, now planning to go for database, something which is open source. Yeah I come accrosss MySQL, but when I can download Oracle9i for free, no need to think of MySQL., please guide me.
Regards
Shiva.

Yes, you can download Oracle9i database at the very bottom of the page you have quoted. The license allows you to use it for development purposes only and you would license the product when you go to a production environment. You will see the full terms of the license when you go to download it.
