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?

Final Cut Express 4 insufficient disk space for rendering

I have an iMac with a 2.8 GHz intel core 2 Duo, 2GB 667 MHz SDRAM, and a 750 GB hard drive with over 400 GB of free space. I just purchased Final Cut Express 4 and when I uploaded my first clip and I tried to render it, it said that I have "insufficient disk space to render." I don't understand how this is possible, I may just have a setting messed up but I need step by step instructions to switch that setting or fix my problem, thank you.

There is a Final Cut Pro forum, you probably repost there. I suspect someone with Final Cut Pro experience may have a better idea than this forum which is a general iMac forum. You can find that forum at:

"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.

Not Enough Disk Space for Rendering

I am trying to edit a QuickTime file that I exported out of iPhoto, which contains about one hour of a slide show. The QuickTime file is only 741 MB. All I wanted to do is add music and titles using FCP. So I created a new project, imported the QuickTime file into FCP and inserted the entire one hour clip to sequence. When I rendered the sequence, FCP not only indicated it would take 4 hours to render but also said there is no enough disk space available to complete the rendering. I have about 60GB space left in my hard drive. How could the 741MB file take up more than 60GB of disk space for rendering? I haven't even put any video effects or music on the sequence yet. Can anyone tell me what's going on? Can I simply edit the 741MB file without changing the file size?

Why not add the music and titles in iPhoto? The music is easy(just set up an iTunes playlist) If you need title slides just create them in an image editor(you could even use Textedit), save as a jpeg, import to iPhoto and incorporate them into the show.
Thanks for your suggestion, but I'm not interested in using iPhoto to add the music and titles when I can use FCP to easily create better effects.
If you then export the slideshow as a Quicktime movie then you can just pull it into iDVD. But if DVD is the intended end format your QT export needs to be 1024 or 720 x 576(thats for PAL TV) depending on the aspect ratio you're going for. I'd export it as DV.
I've used the iDVD slideshow function before. I was frustrated by the limitation the function offers. I just wanted to simply edit the QuickTime movie I exported from iPhoto using FCP. I don't know why it's so hard and no one can seems to assist me. Any suggestion would be appreciated, though. Thanks.

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 "

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 when rendering for print to video

We have a new hard drive (1.5 terabytes) with one project and when printing to video, the "insufficient disk space" window appears and remove rendered files dialog box ahows. 167 mb of rendered files which could not be removed.
What is the solution to get files removed or space created to export to video?
Thank you

Where is the project? Please post a screenshot of your event and project library.

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!!!

Insufficient disk space for SunStudio 12

Hello,
I am fairly new to Solaris (was on Linux before) but anyway I tried to install SunStudio 12. Prepare went well but when I ran install script:
*./batch_installer -p all --accept-sla*
or even GUI installation:
*./installer &*
there was following report displayed:
Installation failed: insufficient disk space.
Then i did df -kh to check disk space and got output as follows:
Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0d1s0 4,6G 4,4G 98M 98% /
/devices 0K 0K 0K 0% /devices

/dev/dsk/c0d1s7 33G 1,2G 31G 4% /export/home
Then I tried to redirect installation to /export/home just to test what report will
be now. There was same report again regardless of *31GB* of available space.
So, am I missing something here ?
Any idea would be welcome. Thank you.
Josip

I think the problem is that there is not enough space in / filesystem:
/dev/dsk/c0d1s0 4,6G 4,4G 98M 98% /
It has only 98 Mb free. By default Sun Studio is installed at /opt, which is a directory in / filesystem.
I'd suggest you to extract Sun Studio Express from the tar.gz file. You can download it from this page:
http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads/express/index.jsp
Extract it somewhere (say /export/home/ss12), set PATH and run compilers and tools.
Thanks,
Nik

How to fix " insufficient disk space for encoding" on DVD STUDIO PRO 4

I keep getting the error message, "insuffiecient disl space for encoding" on DVD STUDIO PRO 4. I reinstallled the program, uptaded software and also cheked the library receipts file. After the reinstall I am still getting the same message. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
Thanks

Thank you for you help, however I think you misunderstood my question
I have 800 gb on my Mac hd
I am getting this error message when I go to build and format the dvd. This is after compression encoding.

I started recieving a message that states "Insufficient disk space for logging Historical data".

I am using bridgeview, version 2.1 with fieldpoint. I just started recieving this error and it will not run my real time graph. The error will appear one day and not the next. I have plenty of hard disk space. I am running it on windows 2000. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

It may be a corruption of the database. The quickest way to check is to move all the files in the database folder to a new folder before starting BridgeVIEW. When you then start BridgeVIEW, that database folder will be empty and a new database is started. If the original database was corrupt you will see the error go away.
Also make sure that all the services are started.

Not enough disk space for asset ecoding

Hi all,
I have a dvdsp project with:
a feature: 3.3 gb
dvd extra: 289
menu assets: 65mb
and shows that it is 3.8 mb all together, but when i try to build/format it stops the build at the menu and gives the error message: Not enough disk space for asset encoding. I was running a test build when this happened. i have yet to add the audio for the extra thinking i still had some room on here to work with.
I have burned dvd's up 4.5 without any issues. any ideas why this is happening?
thanks,
Mark

I'm having the same problem. Except I have tried to switch locations for the Current Build and each time it says Not enough disk space for asset encoding. I have a 500GB raid with almost 400GB free and then another 500GB raid with about 130GB free. I really need help on this pronto!
Another message it now brings up after it starts Encoding Assets: Insufficient disk space for encoding. Please free up disk space on your encoding target drive. Please Help!!

Insufficient disk space - HP Color LaserJet 4650

Hi, every time I print more than ONE item in Adobe InDesign I get the following page printed from my printer...
Error: Unable to store job at printer
Reason: Insufficient disk space for this job
Solution: Delete some files from the disk before resending this job
But I have plenty of free space on the disk and I can print multiple items from other software packages?
What do I do please? Any help is much appreciated, I need to print from Indesign all the time now.
Thanks,
Alex

Alex Wilding-
That is a problem at the printer.
HP has a fairly decent support structure.
I would start here.
