Insufficient Disc Space for Burning

My setup: Premiere Elements 12 running on an Apple iMac running OSx Yosemite. Samsung external blu-ray writer.
I have a recording of a play from my local amateur dramatic society. I have successfully burnt to a DVD-RW complete with menus and photograph gallery. When I insert a DVD-R it tells me there is insufficient disc space. The project is 4.38 Gb and Disc Utility tells me that the DVD has 4.7 Gb free. My hard disc has 826.96 Gb free. I have successfully written to other discs from this spindle in the past. I've tried two discs with the same result.
I tried burning to a folder then burning a disc using Toast, but the disc auto-played instead of displaying the menu (despite auto-play being unticked).
Advice would be welcome.

Mark
Thanks for the reply and additional information.
Please consider disc capacity, file size, and bitrate....
If your Premiere Elements burn dialog Quality area was showing 4.38 GB with "Fit Content to Available Space" enabled, what was it showing for Bitrate.
Unless the program had to lower the bitrate to 1.69 Mbps or where it could not lower the bitrate any further to make the fit, you should have been able to get a burn to disc in Premiere Elements. The quality would have been worse case at the extremely lowered bitrate, but a burn to nonetheless.
If you want to pursue this, we could compare the Space Required and Bitrate with and without "Fit Content to Available Space" to get at
what triggered the Insufficient Disc Space message. We could also look at the Scratch Disk "Disc Encoding" to find to where it is
directed and how much free space is at that location.
If you have the time and want to follow up on this, please let us know.
Thank you.

  • Premiere Elements 9 - blu-ray insufficient disc space for burning

    Hi
    I have just upgraded to PE 9 with the hope that it would have less problems than 7 - it appears I am wrong
    Having got over the "chapter overflow" problem I am now faced with a new one that i cannot find a thread for.
    I have a video that is 2 hours 45 min long.
    I want to burn it to blu-ray.
    I select "fit contents to available space" the program reduces the size to 23.3Gb BUT does not remove the warning so i cannot do the burn.
    I have successfully burnt 2 Blu-ray discs where the content did not need to be made smaller.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thank you
    Michael

    The file is to big for the disc, but that is why the fit content to available space tick box is there.
    It does show that the size will be reduced and what the new reduced bit rate will be.
    The problem is that the error message does not remove it's self so the burn button does not activate.

  • I am getting Insufficent disc space for burning icon

    I HAVE LOTS OF STORAGE SPACE ON COMUTER ABOUT 200 FREE GB
    BUT ITS IS TELLING ME INSUFFICIENT DISC SPACE AVAILABLE FOR BURNING...WHY?

    I was looking for your reply in your other thread that I just answered.
    how to make video go backwards
    But, I just saw this new thread.
    Insufficient Disc Space Available For Burning.....
    That message typically points to not enough space for the burn to temporary encoding files.
    When you go to Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Discs, what is
    a. the path shown to the place where these encoding files are going to be stored
    and
    b. to the right of the path information there should be an estimate of the free hard drive space at that location - what is it?
    In the burn dialog Quality area, what does it show for Space Required and Bitrate.
    Do you have any other place on the computer that has more than 200 GB? We may have to change the save location
    for the Encoded Files to be generated or free up more space at the location to where those encoding files are currently directed.
    Let us see where the details lead us.
    All of the above information should lead us to answer for the why.
    Thanks.

  • HT1583 I'm trying to burn a Magic DVD in iDVD and I get a message stating "not enough free disc space for encoding the remaining assets. How do I resolve this?

    I'm trying to burn a Magic DVD in iDVD and I keep getting a message stating that there is not enough free disc space for encoding the remaining assets. How do I resolve this?

    It means your hard drive is too full to accomodate the project and its many swap files etc.
    You need to move some files (not applications) to your external hard drive, and keep at least 25-30GB free.

  • "Insufficient disk space for encoding" There is!!!!

    Hi,
    I've got a problem that is really driving me crazy.
    When ever I write an .img or even burn to disk, the following comes up:
    "Insufficient disk space for encoding. Please free up disk space on your encoding target drive"
    This is untrue. I have 6.95 GB left on my hard drive, plenty on my LaCie drives and enough on my DVD-R. I really don't know what the problem is. I've written DVDs with less than 6.95 GB before.
    Can anyone help?
    Many Thanks,
    Pete Cooke

    That's not enough, when your hard drive gets about 80% full, then you may begin to see this issue. There is alot of files that are temporary, that also use disk space during the build process.
    You really need alot more space than what you currently have left, (like 20GB) or more.
    Look, I know that some here are on a shoe string budget, but the prices that ATA firewire drives are at now, there cheep. I just saw one on deal-mac.com, (250GB ATA, internal) for $80.00 and a 160GB for $40.00. You could replace your current firewire drive, for not much.
    I know, you don't want to open the external firewire drive inclosure, that's ok, I also have a solution for that. It's a one time expense, but get a firewire bridge, like the one Wiebetech.com sells for $120.00 and from then on, you can just purchase raw internal HD's on sale as the need arises and plug those drives in via the 6pin firewire bridge from Wiebetech. This has saved me allot cash on purchasing the fire interface over and over, (as you have to do when purchasing an external firewire drive.)
    I just move the Wiebetech drive dock firewire bridge from drive to drive as needed, I now have 4 of them. It also allows me to quickly archive off footage to an ATA drive quickly, as well as use that footage from that drive while authoring a DVD or FCP project.
    I have looked at other solution like this, but this seems to be the lowest cost per GB & buck, ($.)

  • Insufficient disk space for encoding?

    Hello, when I burn my DVD in DVDSP I get this message:
    "Insufficient disk space for encoding. Please free up disk space on your encoding target drive. Build cancelled"
    I couldn't find anything in the documentation about this. I have 26 GB on my hard drive, which is set in the Encoding dropdown of the Destinations preference tab.
    My project is showing 3.0 GB as the size.
    Any idea what's going on?
    thanks
    Scott

    How big is your source file?
    Not large, less than 3 gigs. It turns out the problem was the disk where the quicktime movie lived was short on disk space. I would think the encoding would happen on the drive specified in the Encoding preferences, but DVDSP must think otherwise. Anyway problem solved.
    Personally, I prefer to use Compressor to encode my video and audio to m2v and ac3 before going into DVDSP.
    Yes, me too, but I had some old QT movies I needed to get onto a DVD and it was easier just to drag and drop than recompress.
    Thanks for the response.

  • Insufficient disk space for encoding. disk space on encoding target drive?

    I keep having this message when I try to burn\enconde\build a DVD with DVDSP 4, I'm setting the Build folder in a external hard drive with 300Gigas free, so for sure is not the porblem...
    Insufficient disk space for encoding. Please free up disk space on your encoding target drive
    What should I do?? its kind of urgent!
    Cheers,
    Javier

    Ah Ha!
    I found this in a 2-pop forum - it may be the solution...
    "Are you both using the DVDSP Background encoder? If so, make sure the *DESTINATIONS PREFERENCE for ENCODING is pointing to the disk drive that actually HAS the free space* - normally, it points to the SAME FOLDER where the asset is living. If you're short on space on that drive, that will trigger the condition you describe... - always maintain this free space "

  • Not enough free disc space for encoding remaining assets

    I get this message when I try to print my DVD   "not enough free disc space for encoding remaining assets"
    Does this mean I have too much videos and material on the computer.  I have tried to delete several but it does not seem to be making any difference.  Please help/explain...  Thank you!

    IDVD is limited by the duration of your movie and nothing else.
    A single layer DVD is good for about two hours.  A dual layer DVD is good for about three hours and 45 minutes.
    You do need a certain amount of free space to create DVDs.
    To burn your iDVD project to a single-layer DVD disc, you should have 8 to 10 gigabytes (GB) of free disk space on your hard disk, depending on the size of your project. For double-layer discs, you need 15 to 20 GB of free disk space. To check how much disk space you have, Control-click the hard disk icon on your desktop and choose Get Info. Then look next to Available to see how much space you have.
    The encoded DVD files remain on your hard disk inside your project’s folder. If you do not want to save the encoded files after you burn your project to a disc, you can delete them.

  • Garageband 10.0.2 There is Insufficient disc space to install the basic content

    After I updated garageband to Mavericks It wont let me open it because of "Insufficient disc space." Really, I have 8 Gigabytes available on my macbook air and I know garageband wont take 8 gigabytes to install basic content. Please help.

    That's good.
    In the long run you'll have to find a solution to relocate media files to a small, portable external drive. Your mac will be slow and unresponsive, when the disk space gets low. You'll notice it when recording or playing your songs.

  • Insufficient disk space for render. What does this mean?

    In Final Cut Express, I received this message.  Insufficient disk space for render. Please free up space & retry. Does this mean not enough space on the finished project? Is my project too long? How can I free up space?

    If you haven't done so already, you can empty your Trash bin on your dock.  But, you do not have enough disk space on the target drive  to save your project.  You'll need to delete files to free up space or save it to another drive.

  • Insufficient disk space for rendering - about to kill myself

    I have two clips on my timeline. Quicktime clips. I just want to render them. It says I have insufficient disk space for rendering, try cleaning out files and trying again. I deleted everything in my render files, everything in the final cut pro documents. My hard drive has 199 GB of free space. Together in total these clips are under 4 minutes. Why in the name of all that is holy is 200 GB of space not enough for rendering? If you can answer that or tell me what to do, I'll give you my first born child.

    Hello and welcome to the forum.
    Without full system info (computer, OS, FCE and QT versions, external devices, etc. along with specifics of the QuickTime clips), this is just guesswork. Is there another hard drive involved? Could your FCE System Settings have your render files going to a drive that's almost full?

  • Recently backing up my ipad onto my macbook, which is the backup server for all of my gadgets.  This includes all my photos and tons of music.  The macbook said it could not backup the ipad because there was insufficient disc space to do so. What now?

    I have a macbook operating OSX10.6.7.  Recently backing up my ipad which had lots of photos from a recent vacation.  I use this laptop as the backup server for all of my gadgets so it has thousands of photos and tons of music.  It just told me that it couldn't back up the ipad bc there wasn't enough disc space.  I was afraid that this would happen eventually.  What next?  Newer laptop with more space?  I'm not sure what files I could sacrifice to free up more space as most of these are important.

    What size hard drive do you have in your MacBook? The cheapest options are, a larger internal hard drive, or an external drive. Or you could get a cheap desktop PC and network to it for storage. I've got one that lives in the hall with 3 Terabytes (That's 3000gb) of storage.

  • Insufficient Disk Space for Encoding but 49.7 GB free on drive???

    Attempting to build a DVD project, but I keep getting an error that there's insufficient disk space. There's almost 50GB free on the drive. What gives?

    Permissions should be fine, considering I burned a DVD not more than 6 days ago, same drive.
    I import video from my camcorder, create a menu screen, import the screen and video into DVD Studio Pro 3, build the project, then burn to DVD with Toast (I never have been able to burn straight from DVD Studio Pro for some strange reason)
    But as of yesterday, DVD Studio Pro tells me there's not enough disk space to Encode the files. The full DVD is only 3.9 GB, and with 49 GB of empty disk space on the hard drive, that should be more than enough room to build!!!
