Not enough disk space in target folder?

I am trying to burn a 3.7GB project on a dvd that holds 4.7 GB. The log says there's not enough disk space in the target folder. I've never had this problem before - what's going on and how do I fix it?
PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

not enough disk space in the target folder.
This refers to the hard disk where DVD SP does the build. 'The target' is usually set to a folder called something like 'DVDStudioProDisc' somewhere on your main internal hard-drive. You need to have at least (say) 5GB free space on your working drive for the build. How much disk space do you have left?
BTW it is possible to change the build drive & folder location in settings.

  • Not Enough Disk Space In Target Folder PLEASE HELP!

    I've produced a project with 10 menus and 21 tracks totaling 3.1 gigs and I can not burn it. Each time I get the remark "Not Enough Disk Space In Target Folder." I have 8.8 gigs on my internal harddrive and various externals.
    PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP. I fear I will seriously threaten my job if I can't get this done tomorrow.

    Hi
    Select just Build and check the destination location and set a drive with enough space. Then you can burn using that build.
    I have 8.8 gigs on my internal harddrive and various externals.
    How big is that drive?
    Hope that helps !

  • 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!

  • Is this now where to ask DVD Studio Pro questions?  If not, please let me know where.  Here's my question:  Using DVD Studio Pro 3, when trying to burn a disc which is 4.5GB, I get error message "Not eough disk space in target folder".  What to do?

    Thanks.  Unfortunately, I need to make a master DVD that can then be duplicated in bulk as a single layer disc.  This surprises me because I tried burning a different DVD project that has worked in the past which is also 4.5 GB and now I could not burn that either.  I also reencoded some material to get the new project down to 4.4 GB but it still would not burn.  Any ideas are appreciated.

  • Not enough disk space for event folder

    Hello
    So, i've been facing this problem for quite a while now (3 hours of constant raging ;D)
    Something went wrong with FCP X and I lost my entire project (which is not the point)
    I cleared everything from FCP X to start over again (all the event files, projects,...). Now that I am trying to get every file back in my event folder (via import files, it's about 41gigs of files) it says that I haven't got enough disk space. But I do, I have 830gigs of free space on my internal HD.
    I have no idea what the problem is or how to solve it.
    Your ideas are very welcome
    Thanks beforehand, a young editor.

    First tried it without removing them from the trash (if that is what you mean). then emptied the trash and tried it again.
    and yes I have there is currently 862,13 GB available

  • Encore 1.5 Transcoding could not start not enough disk space

    Dear all,
    I have a relative new raid 0 with four Hitachi (HDS721075KLA330) disks. At the moment I've got 2794.54 GB capacity (quite enough) and 1825.83 GB of free space. When finishing a Encore 1.5 project for making a DVD folder there is the error message: "Transcoding could not start there is not enough disk space available. 0 is available on E:\, 237.55 is required. Please free up disk space." Also messages during saving: "No disk space".
    The weird thing is I've hadn't had this error before using the same raid disks, but since a few days I am stuck.
    My OS is Windows CP Professional (SP2), 2 GB RAM, Radeon X1650 video card, Matrox RT.X100 video editing card. Thanks for your help.

    If I remember correctly, this is a bug caused by the sheer size of your target array. In the olden days when 1.5 was the released version, Terabyte drives were uncommon, and the package could not actually see it as this large, and will throw this error.
    The workaround was to partition the target array into smaller sizes (less than 1 Terabyte) and you should be able to return back to normal.

  • Project/Library will not relink due to "not enough disk space"

    I have a large library/project that was copied from one drive to another so I could take it to a different site/computer. When I open the project, I need to re-link the footage. FCP finds and verifies all the footage, but when I select "re-link", I get the following error: "There is not enough disk space available at the selected destination. Please choose another one or clear some space."
    I've checked the project properties and they appear to be looking at the right event. The library and all the footage is on a huge drive with almost a terabyte free.
    I'm not sure why I should even need additional space just to re-link to existing footage.
    Thanks in advance for any guidance in this matter.

    You should do this from inside FCP. Only copy libraries from one drive to another in the Finder if you're using managed media, which it doesn't sound as if you are. I'm kind of guessing a little here because I'm not clear on exactly what you did for the media.
    In FCP make a new library on the drive you want to copy to. Select the project and in the inspector assign a location for the media, either managed media or external media in a folder. I like to use managed media for this, because I can always consolidate the media into a separate folder very quickly. Once you've made the new library, inside FCP copy the contents of one library into the new library. When that's done confirm that the media has been copied to the correct location. If necessary run the consolidate function to make sure all the media is correctly located.

  • There is not enough disk space to download new messages. How can I backup my old emails onto my hard drive to create room for new message?

    When trying to download new email messages I receive an error "There is not enough disk space to download new messages. Try deleting old mail, emptying the Trash folder, and compacting your mail folders, and then try again." I have emptied my trash, removed all the junk, deleted about 1gig worth of email and im still having problems.
    I have a ton of folders that I store all of my emails in, so that I can easily find older emails. This email has been working fine for me for about the pass 5-6 years and now I have problems. I would like to be able to back up my emails onto my hard drive so that I have them on hand. What is the best way to go about this? Because of my file structure I am not able to see all of my messages on one screen. Is there a way to select emails from a certain year?
    Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

    ''Try deleting old mail, emptying the Trash folder, and'' '''compacting your mail folders'''
    If you did not compact the folders after marking the messages for deletion, you have not deleted anything.

  • Not enough disk space to restore from time capsule

    I have a macbook pro, and I think time capsule backed up any eternal drive attached to it.
    The macbook would not boot/? mark, so I repaired/verified disk, got to time capsule and retore, but there is not enough disk space on the macbook to repair (again as I think time capsule backed up external drive which I don't need backed up).
    Is there a way to enter time capsule from the macbook, and "check" something to not restore back onto the macbook, the external drive.
    Thank you
    jonathan golab

    You will have to open the Time Machine HDD and find the file where the external HDD information resides and delete it.  Note for which date you delete the file and use that date for the restore.  Review this extract from the Pondini website;
    http://pondini.org/TM/12.html
    When you enter the Time Machine HDD, you can open the folder like this example.  Probably the best date to choose is the latest one.
    Ciao.

  • 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.

  • Not enough disk space for app download

    Got a message to download X Code update, when I select It says there is not enough disk space. on the drive which has my downloads folder it says I have 2.09GB available is this where the download goes?
    R

    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
    iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    To locate large files, you can use Spotlight. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
    Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders. It may take some minutes for ODS to list all the files.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • 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 to install sims 2 from app store?

    I've seen lots of threads resolving the problem of there not being enough disk space when installing sims by a CD Disk, but I'm trying to download it from the app store so none of them apply.
    I have 12 GB of space free on my macbook and the application only needs 7.52 GB.
    Ideas?
    I keep getting 'not enough disk space available'.
    I can't open it from the applications folder rather than the Disk because I haven't been allowed to buy/instal it yet.

    I have cleared 17 GB of hard disk space and 11 GB of memory space.
    The requirements online when installed say 10 GB of hard disk and 4 GB of memory.
    I bought my Mac last year so I don't think my system is too old.
    Ideas now?
    When I get above 17 GB it instals but at the end of the hour long installation it again tells me it failed to download, not mentioning space .

  • "Unable to Consolidate Library, not enough disk space on C:\"

    This is a very annoying bug and i'm certain it is a software bug and nothing that I can fix on my end without an iTunes update. The goods news, is that it should be very easy to change (I say this as a programmer myself.)
    The problem: I do not keep all my mp3's on my internal hard drive. This would be impossible since I have a 60gb ipod and my laptop only has a 60gb drive to begin with -- i'd never be able to hold my library on my laptop without using an external for storage. So in iTunes, I have my preferences setup to store music files on this external drive. It is working great. The actual database file is still stored on C:\ (internal) and this is fine since it is rather small. However, when I choose consolidate library, iTunes thinks for a few minutes and then claims that it is unable to perform the action because there is not enough disk space available on C:\. This is silly for several reasons: 1) iTunes should not be coded such that it copies all files to C:\temp (or wherever it does its temp work for that matter) before copying the files to thier final destination. This is just one extra disk read/write that is unneeded. 2) If, for whatever reason, using the internal drive as a temporary buffer is required, then just copy one song at a time. As long as I have enough free space to copy the largest song that needs to be moved, consilidation should be possible. There is no reason to copy all 60gb of music to the temp, then copy all 60gb to my external drive. Instead, it is much smarter to copy one song at a time (and deleting the copy in the temp folder after you are done with it.) 3) An example: My internal drive has 10gb of free space, my external has 55gb of music and 45gb of free space. My library contains 5gb of music that is located on my internal drive. Even if iTunes were to copy all 5gb to the temp space on c:\ before the final copy operation, this should be able to consolidate without a problem. However, it doesn't. For some reason, iTunes thinks that it has to copy all 60gb of music (including 55gb of music that is not going to move anywhere.)
    Recently I started storing all my music on a samba server. Simply changed the itunes preferences once again to point to //ipaddress/sharename and it works great. I can even sync my ipod on my laptop with the songs stored on my samba server without any trouble. However, consilidate library still fails for the same reason.

    Assuming there are enough space available on the filestore folder? Did you check system log during failure? If possible enable CMS trace, that may help you for further investaigation.
