Keep getting Failure to Compile Error for Not Enough Disk Space

I have burned this dvd once already, made a few changes and went to build again and it keeps telling me there's not enough disk space to compile assets. There is over 15GB of free space for a 2.8GB project, what am I doing wrong?
Any help would be great, this is a wedding gift and Im running out of time!!!!

15Gb isn't all that much, really - especially if you are making a DL disc. In order to create the files necessary there needs to be enough space for the final output, plus the same again for the build files, plus enough temporary space and room for encoded media and so on. If your project is 8Gb in total, you won't have enough space with 15Gb free!
Try to clear another 5Gb and make sure all of the space is on an internal drive, then have another go.

Error message - not enough disk space to import

Hi all,
I was trying to import a video I have in Quick Time to iMovie in order to burn it to disc and when I tried I got an error messsage that said not enough disk space to import the movie. I have about 26 GB on my hard drive. How much do I need? Or am I going abut this all wrong? I tried to do it thru disk Utility and iDVD but it is obviously not compatible. I have iMovie 5.
Thanks for any help.

Hello Victry,
do i get this right: duration almost 2.5 hours and file size 27 MB? .... don't seem right to me - you sure it's not 27 GB? that would explain the import problem.
apart from the file size: 120 min. is the limit for a normal 4.7 GB DVD so there's either the possibility to chop the movie in two parts or burn to dual layer DVD, if you have that option.
"codecs: base, windows media audio 9/standard, windows media video 9 standard"
the file you have on your Mac uses a codec that Macs don't easily digest and can usually only handle with the help of third-party software, in this case Flip4Mac ( http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_download.htm ). unfortunately i'm not really an expert on WMV files
i would suggest the following(assuming this file is as big as i think):
1. try to get hold of an external HDD and move the file there
2. convert with QT/Flip4Mac to DV and cut in two parts
3. import each part into separate iDVD projects and burn to DVD
hope this helps

Error Message, Not Enough Disk Space...

Heres the problem I ripped a copy of a City Council Meeting from a dvd to my iBook, the file is 483mb on disk, I have 11 gigs available, when I try to import it into iMovie to get only the sections I need, it says I do not have enough disk space, how is that possible and is there a workaround?
Edit: I am on the road and only have my iBook with me.

Does iMovie HD support MP4 files directly? If not then it wants to covert the file to a full DV format file. As I said before, this is 13GB per hour, it is a time thing and it doesn't matter if your original file is 200MB, 400MB, or 1MB. If it is an hour it needs 13GB. If it is longer that an hour, it will need even more drive space.
So how long is the movie?
If iMovie HD does support MP4 files directly (I think iMovie 6 does) then when you start the new project are you telling it to keep it in MP4 format or are you opening the new project as a DV project, where it will want to convert anything imported into DV format?

Keep getting error 101 not enough disk space

I have tried downloading the trial for cs6 using Chrome and Firefox and I get the same error from the download assistant. I have plenty of disk space so that isn't the problem. Please help!

I have plenty of disk space so that isn't the problem.
It could be. The download assistant has issues with large partitions over 1TB. So in fact you may have to downsize. Anyway, you're not providing enough info to be any more specific.

What does error message when trying to burn DVD from iDVD mean "not enough disk space to burn the remaining assets"

I created a DVD in idvd and now when trying to burn to DVD using external burner, I get the error message
"not enough disk space to encode the remaining assets". I am using a brand new blank DVD.
I have read the help info on computer but hasnt proved helpful.
Any suggestions?

iDVD requires a fair amount of disk space to carry out the encoding process; depending on your project, you may need to have over 25 GB free space on your startup hard drive. How much free space do you have?

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!!

Not Enough Disk Space while installing WebLogic 6.1sp1 on AIX

While installing WebLogic Server I get the error message "Not Enough Disk Space"
for the root (/) file system, although I am trying to install it in the /weblogic
file system that has enough space for the installation.
What is that extra info that I need to pass to the installer so that installs
the server in /weblogic and not complain about lack of disk space in /.
The relevant properties for installation under silent mode are as listed below:
### BEA Home Directory
BEAHOME=/weblogic/sftw
### Product Installation Directory
USER_INSTALL_DIR=/weblogic/sftw/6.1
Thanks and Regards

Hi.
I believe the installation creates temporary files in the /tmp directory from root.
If that is part of your root file system then this may be the cause of your problem.
Try changing your environment variable TMPDIR or TMP_DIR. If you are doing the
silent install with the java command line try setting java.io.tmpdir to a different
filesystem on the command line.
Hope this helps,
Michael

Not enough disk space message occurs by installation or CD/DVD burning

Hi,
When i want to install a game or burn a movie then i will get the message that there is not enough disk space which is not true because the disk space on my laptop is about 55 Gb and on my external hard drive i have still about 95 GB left.
Why do i have this problem and what is the solution?
Greets

As far as I know some burning applications uses a temporary data folder to copy the files form the CD on the HDD and after successful burning procedure this files will be deleted.
Mostly such temporary data folder is placed on system partition C.
I assume you have partitioned you HDD and the space on the C is not enough.
Change it.

After clean install of Snow Leopard, Time Machine did not restore all files. When I try to restore these files I get "Not enough disk space" error. What do I need to do to get these important files back onto my Mac from my external hard drive??

For what the Apple Store's charge you can buy almost buy a new computer.
Just for giggles I brought my old laptop in for a drive upgrade and asked, they wanted $600 for a drive that only cost $120 at the time and it was a slow 5,400 RPM drive. The new Mac's of a similar make were going for $1000.
I did the drive replacement myself, got a faster drive of better quality for $300 instead.
Then another time I asked for a RAM upgrade from 4GB to 8GB, they wanted to charge $400 + $35 for the labor.
The same RAM is on Crucial.com for $90 and all I need is a 00 micro phillips screwdriver.
So you see what's going on here.
I think what you should do, if your out of warranty/AppleCare, is to call up the local PC tech guy who also does Mac's and have them fix you right up.
They can offer more personalized care which you need. Clone your old drive to the new and everything.
With Apple they are overworked at the Genius Bar and just place roadblocks so you buy a new machine instead.
For instance, all new iMac's now have proprietary drive software installed on the hard drives for heat monitoring. So now the only choice a user has is to bring their iMac into a Apple Store for a very expensive drive upgrade, which a person then decides the money is better spent buying a new machine.

Error msg: Sending of password for user did not succeed. Mail server responded: Not enough disk space - what's the deal?

I've been checking my email via webmail for a week and am back in the office today. Fired up Thunderbird, expecting it to pick up all my email, but it gets nothing and tells me…
Sending of password for user [email protected] did not succeed. Mail server pop.ipower.com responded: Not enough disk space
Haven't seen this particular error message come up in searches via google and at mozilla. There's definitely disk space on my machine. I'm running TB on a Mac (OSX 10.6.8). Disk Space options under Preferences > Advanced let me assign up to 1024 mb for the cache, which I've done, and cleared.
Has anyone encountered this before? Got a solve/troubleshooting process? Thanks!

Thanks. I do compact regularly (TB prompts me to) and did it (several times) via Preferences today to try and get TB past this error message.
Also went thru and Trashed + Empty Trashed as many messages as possible from the inbox, just in case. Still no-go.

FCP X version 10.1.1. When Sharing to DVD I get the following alert " There was an error burning your discd. Not enough Disk Space in Target Folder" I have 700GB   free. Where is this target folder located? how can I fix this problem? not space prob

Sharing to DVD I get the following alert " There was an error burning your disc. Not enough Disk Space in Target Folder" I have 700GB   free. Where is this target folder located? How can I fix this problem? This is definitely not a space problem.
Since starting with FCP X, there has been tons of issues, now that the product actually works with the exception above, makes it impossible to share the production. Has Apple fixed this problem. is there a knowledge base article on this?
On another note, One reason I have not purchased support on FCP X is because you sold a product that never worked for almost an entire year or more.   Now I can finally finish my project, I cannot share it.....Really. This has to be fixed now, I am loosing money as I typed this.

Just curious, why would repairing permissions, rebooting ( rebooted 2 times already today) or creating a new user possibly fix this.
I cannot create a new user, that is way too much work. I will repair permissions again, I repaired permissions just a few days ago. Then I will reboot, login and turn off App Nap and rerun the Share DVD.
There must be something seriously wrong with the OS if your are suggesting creating another user.   WOW!

LR 5.5 upgrade. I only get the the 32 bit set up and an error when the 64 bit set up should be created. It says not enough disk space and no access to write. The disk space is ok and the 32 bit file was indeed created.

Hi Rob, Thanks for your input. The temp location is on the C drive with 228 GB free space. My other drives have 123 GB and 204 GB of free space. I can see how the 32 bit set up is perfectly extracted when it stops when coming to the 64 bit set up. I have done the exercise several times and also made new downloads. I am using Norton 360 and Malwarebytes anti-malware but the dowload from Adobe should be trusted.

"not enough disk space for asset encoding" error message

I'm using DVD SP 4.2.1 and trying to burn a DL DVD. Every time I try to build the TS folders somewhere, I get the "not enough disk space for asset encoding" message. I have PLENTY of space (over 100GB) where I'm assigning it to create the TS folders. I don't understand why I'm getting the message. Your help is appreciated.

Max,
I think you're onto something here. I noticed that the original disk (an old Iomega Peerless 20GB removable hard drive) was nearly full. I also saved the DVD Studio Pro file for the project to the same drive. I think that, somehow, the application looked to that drive to do something and got a "disk full" message from that disk and gave me the error.
The workaround was to transfer all the assets AND the project file to another hard disk with plenty of space (over 100 GB). The settings for the DVD Studio Pro encoding process remained the same…my computer's internal hard disk with its 30 GB of free space. I re-linked the assets and the disk building and encoding process went smoothly and I'm now the proud owner of a finished DVD.
There's probably something lurking in the background here, but this worked for me.
Thanks for making the suggestion to look deeper! My problem is solved!
Kevin
