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.

  • Problem burning dvd, message not enough free disk space for encoding remaining assets

    I have never had a issue with burning dvd's before now I am getting an error message

    How much hard drive space do you have remaining?  How much data are you trying to burn (i.e. are you sure the capacity of the disc is high enough?)

    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.

  • Got error message "not enough free disk space to encode remaining assets"

    Although my media folder contains 32 GB for my iMovie project, and the hard drive says it has 39 GB free, it still give this message. I thought that would be adequate to burn the movie in iDVD. What is the problem?

    I need a couple more gigs on the volume the application was on
    Let me rephrase that:
    You need a couple more gigs on the volume your SYSTEM is on. (That's where the system puts all temp files it needs and where the apps put the temp files THEY need)

  • IDVD error msg Not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets

    I get this error message on iDVD, does this mean I need to free up hard disc space... "Not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets"

    How full is your Mac's hard drive?
    Locate your iMac's hard drive icon on the OS X desktop. Click the icon once, then use the keyboard key combination Command-I. This will give you additonal info about your iMac's internal hard drive.  

  • Error msg: "Not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets."

    I am trying to burn a DVD that includes a slideshow and short movie.  Total project is 3.5GB.  I am getting this error message:  "Not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets."  My hard drive has 600 GB left.  Can anyone help?

    If you can't free up enough space by deleting items, get an external hard drive and move the files there. An absolute minimum of 25 GB is required by iDVD.

  • Im trying to burn an iDVD and its saying that there is not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets.

    Im trying to burn an iDVD and its saying that there is not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets. My main hard drive only has a few hundred Mb left on it so i bought a 1 Tb external hard drive and want to know how to make iDVD use the space on the external hard drive instead trying to use the main hard drive. Any help would be awesome! thanks

    Hi
    Yes - This is important.
    Free Space - Must be on the Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk and can not be used on any other.
    My safe level is a minimum of 25Gb free space - to let iDVD and Mac OS run OK.
    This is due to that Mac OS X is in reality UNIX and there by needs lot's of temporary space for temp. files and so does the application iDVD. And this can not be addressed elsewhere.
    So to free up space - one thing is to move iMovie Events to an external hard disk BUT THIS MUST BE DONE Right Else all can be lost ! !
    • Never move or adjust any folders Named - iMovie Events or iMovie Projects - on Desktop/Finder - links will breake and can be hard to impossibly to heal. ALL movings must be done within iMovie Application (it goes for iMovie'08 to 11)
    • External Hard Disk - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange will NOT WORK FOR VIDEO - nearly everything else BUT NOT VIDEO.

  • Not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets?

    I know this will probably sound dumb, but I burned a dvd with less space this morning and now this is the message I'm getting for the same project and I have a little more than what I had last time. Can someone explain this or tell me what I can do? I'm not sure what else I can remove to free up more space at the moment.
    Thanks so much
    karen

    You will need at least 15 GB's of free space on the boot volume and hopefully you have more than this. If you have less then iDvd may have a number of issues in burning your dvd; or rather attempting to burn the dvd.
    If you do not have the available HD space, then you'll need to clear some items off the boot volume prior to burning to Dvd-R.
    Things to remove would be things like completed iMovie and iDvd project files. If you have a vast collection of music, photos & videos; burning them to dvd helps as does using Monolingual to clear languages other than English (if you can afford to do so). The latter will clear between 500 MB's to 2 GB's from the main HD depending on which languages are deleted. (I'd highly recommend NOT deleting English).

  • Not enough free storage space for ios update

    My wife's iPad Air MD786LL/A with 32GB. Running iOS 8.0.2. I bought it for her last year for her birthday to replace her old iPad. She won't give up the old iPad. I keep her iPad Air up to date from time-to-time but when I tried to update the iOS, it said there was not enough free storage space (requires 2.4GB and the iPad Air only has 1.8GB). She also has a MacBook Air running Yosemite and an iPhone 4S on iOS 8.2. The old iPad runs iOS 7 and won't do the multi-device sync with MBA and iPhone (which is why I was trying move her to the  more modern iOS). I need to free up some space on iPad Air.
    Songs: 278
    Videos: 40
    Photos: 7,695
    Apps: 50
    I note that Settings>General>About does not list Books in the list of things on the iPad Air. Why is this?
    Everything syncs to iCloud.
    Q: can I delete photos on the iPad Air without removing them from her MacBook Air or iPhone?
    I note that the iCloud Photos is still Beta. When I went to turn that on, it said that the 7,695 photos would be removed from the other devices. I did not proceed.
    Q: How does one move a book back to the cloud after it has been read? This should free up space.

    See: Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Scroll down to "Update your device using iTunes" and follow those steps.

  • IDVD not enough free disk space

    iDVD is giving me the error: not enough free disk space for encoding assets when I try to burn a disk or create a disk image. After reading other posts the issue seems to be not enough memory on the computers hard drive, but there is 174.73 GB of space remaining...
    All of the files for the dvd (photos, imovie file, clips, music, ect) are saved on a thumb stick for security. I can't think of why it would not be able to burn.
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks!

    All of the files for the dvd (photos, imovie file, clips, music, ect) are saved on a thumb stick for security
    How much space is available on the thumb drive?
    iDVD may be using that disk for scratch, so it may need more space on this drive than is available. Off-hand I don't know of a way to change the scratch disk, beyond moving your source material to the main drive before you burn.

  • When attempting to burn a 1.2GB video using Magic DVD I get Burning Prep error. Not enough free disk space...... I have tried all I know to no avail. This have just started!!

    When attempting to burn a 1.2 GB video using iDVD I get a "Burning Preparation Error.. Not enough free disk space for encoding the remaing assetts" This has only justed started to happen.  I have used this programme many times before in the past. Can any one help as I have tried all I know?

    Yes, 44GB is sufficient. I don't think space is the problem.  I don't know about iMovie but iDVD can only use the boot drive for its scratch disk.
    You might be getting that error due to some damage file in the project.
    Try this basic troubleshooting fix :
    1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch IDVD and try again.
    Also run Disk Utility and verify the disk.  If errors are indicated you will need to boot iknto your system install disk and repair the disk with Disk Utility (see the Utilities menu in the first window after the language selection window).

  • Issue 2: Not enough free disk space

    Well, now that I'm here, I will try to figure out all my problems.
    Ignoring the fact that my MacBook won't turn on, once it goes back to normal, I hope I can solve another thing. Two or three times, while I've been working in heavey Word documents in my Macbook, a message box appears when I click on save or when it tries to do "Autorecovery". It says there's not enough free disk space for me to save that file. What I do every time is I select all, then copy and then quit word. I open it again, paste and save. Everything is fine, but I'd really like to know *** is wrong since I do have a lot of free disk space and this doesn't happen unless it's a heavy file in word. Should I get rid of some apps? Unused files? I don't have that many... I think my Macbook is acting weird since I've almost got nothing stored in it but files, pictures and songs. Any ideas on how to prevent this from happening again?

    Get Info on your hard drive or open a finder window and see how much space is available on your drive - that's at the bottom. Music, pictures, movies use more disk space than most files. You might have enough space sometimes because various programs - like Safari - cache material and the caches can get large. Some caches empty themselves and others need to be emptied; you can empty the Safari cache from one of the menus.

  • Blu-ray Error Code 25 Note: Not Enough Hard Disc Space

    I'm trying to make a Blu-ray image on my computer and recieving an error that states:
    Blu-ray Error
    Not enough free storage, "code 25" Note: Not enough Hard disc space
    Now I first thought to check my hard drive but I have plently of space. Next I noticed that encore CS3 was trying to make an image that is 340GB in size!!! Why would it do that? My project only has 4 assets. HELP this is going from bad to worse.

    My longer notes on this error:
    The most common workaround for this is to build to a folder and burn with ImgBurn (for PC) or toast (for Mac).
    Searches show that there has not been success in many situations. I do not believe that it is one problem.
    I have generally believed that the error refers to temporary storage on the hard drive. And users underestimate the amount of temporary hard disk drive space used. For bluray it is about twice the disk or more.
    Some users experience this error when they are creating dual layer BD disks, and a layer is more than 25G. Each video/layer must fit on one side.
    And some users successfully burn their disk by re-encoding to a lower bitrate (a 25G BD disk does not hold 25G). Encore uses padding to predict the size on disk (e.g. add 10% to the amount of space it predicts that build will use), and it can be wrong.
    Always good to "run as administrator, though I don't know that ever fixed this issue if someone wasn't.
    For CS4 there was a required update for a Roxio component. I believed this was a temporary problem due to the combination of Win7 and Encore CS4, but users on newer OS and Encore have reported resolution of problems after installing the patch.

  • Windows-- not enough free disk space

    Hi umm i have a dell and everytime i try to convret a song it says that there is not enough free disk space? is there anything i can do about that because it relates to my whole computer like when i try to put more picture on my computer it also says that error i was just wondering if theres a way to fix that because i have deleted every program and folder that i dont need on my computer so im not sure what to do next please help!!
    no clue   Windows XP  

    Go to My Computer, hold your cursor over your hard drive(s) it should tell you the remaining free space. If it is less than 500 MB you should definitely delete some big files; i.e. videos, movies, and maybe music and pictures. It sounds like you can't find any big files to delete so just do a search for 'All files and folders' that are larger than say 100 MB. Then just delete what you don't need.

  • Safari could not download the file -there is not enough free disk space

    I've tried downloading Windows Media Viewer, StuffIt Expander, and Adobe Reader however when I do I receive an error message as follows (example is for the StuffIt Expander -similar message for the other programs): Safari could not download the file "nstuffitexp12.01.dmg" because there is not enough free disk space.
    There is PLENTY of free disk space on my hard drive. The hard drive has 20 GB of Used space and 129 GB of Available space.
    A few simple fixes I've tried, that did not help: I cleared my Cache, I emptied my Trash, I restarted the computer. (sorry, I'm a Mac novice -not sure what else to try)
    What's wrong? How do I download these files??
    I would like to open Window Media Viewer files (.wmv) and Adobe Reader files (.pdf) so I need these programs on my computer.
    So as a secondary question, is there a program for Macs better suited to open and view .wmv and .pdf files?
    Please help with my download / free disk space problem, this is driving me crazy (for hours now). Thank you in advance for your assistance!!

    Mac OS X can open pdf files fine without Adobe's bloatware, they open by default in TextEdit - the whole of OS X's display system is actually based around pdf technology so it's easy for the system to integrate pdf tools. There are alternative tools available on MacUpdate but for reading TextEdit is fine.
    wmv files should be opened with the Flip4Mac Quicktime plugin, Microsoft no longer support their own player on Mac and even supply the F4M plugin from their own download pages.
    For Stuffit files (which are thankfully much rarer these days) I'd use The Unarchiver instead of Allume's fat cat.
    To fix the other problem you could try changing your download location in Safari preferences, General - it may be that the location you are downloading to has the problem. You can pick anywhere you like just to test it out.
