Not enough space on DVD?

i'm trying to burn a few DVD's of a few .mov files, but whenever it goes to burn it says there's not enough space on the output media. it's under 2 hours so that shouldn't be a problem, and i've burned stuff to the same type of disc that were larger than all these movies, so why would it not let me burn it?
powermac g5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

to be honest, i've no clue. i just started using DVDSP and every time i've just put the videos i wanted on the tracks and set up my menus and all worked fine. so how do i go about checking/fixing that?

Trying to build a DVD image, DVDSP4 says not enough space

I have many years' experience using DVD Studio Pro 4, so this hopefully is not a stupid question.
I'm using an iMac with 80gb free and an external HDD with 12gb free. I have authored a DVD in DVD Studio Pro 4. The project says it's 4.6gb.
I need to make a disc image file of the DVD so I can burn it to DVD media using another computer. When I do this, it encodes for hours and then says "Formating Failed. Not enough space of the output media" (I might be paraphrasing.)
The only possiblt output medias, the iMac and the external drive, both have plenty of space, and the project is under the limit. So what gives?

Let me try this again, because I think we're not communicating.
I have authored a DVD Studio 4 project with menus and assets, etc. It simulates just fine. The tab on the top of the DVDSP screen indicates my project is 4.6gb. This means I should have no problem turning this project into a DVD. The computer I'm working on has no DVD burning capabilities so I want to create a disc image of the project instead of burning a DVD. I have done this before, where DVDSP encodes and builds a file that I can then use Disk Utility to burn to a DVD. So, once I have my disk image, I will transfer that file to another computer, and use Disk Utility on that second computer to burn the DVD from the disk image.
NOW
The problem I'm having is that DVDSP is not able to make the disk image. When I go to "Build/Format", it should make a disk image, but instead, I get an error saying there is not enough space on the output device. The "output device" in this case is my external Hard drive which has plenty of space. That is why I am asking for help.

I am using DVD Studio Pro to create a DVD. The assets total about 2.4GBs using a 4.7 GB disc I still get the error " not enough space on disc" Does anyone know why?

Start by using this to make sure your assets really fit on the disk:

The operation could not be completed because there is not enough space on the destination disk

I have 124Gig of space left on my HD, when I try to export my movie i get this error "The operation could not be completed because there is not enough space on the destination disk" I have read some of the threads went in and deleted the iMovie Preference file but no luck.. any Ideas? Thanks!

You need the System DVDs that originally came w/the computer in order to troubleshoot. All Macs prior to & including ML came w/System DVDs.
You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html Another resource: International Support Phone #s.

Not Enough Space on Output Media Issue

Hi guys, we are having a problem with a DVD we put together in FCP, compressed via compressor and are trying to burn in DVDSP. The program is under 2 hours and the 120minute mpeg2 setting was used. The audio was converted to ac3 as well. The file sizes for the two files are 2.88gigs and 990megs respectively. When brought into DVDSP4, the space meter(which we all know is horrible accurate) reads properly as around 3.6 gigs. But when trying to burn to a DVD-5 disc it says there is not enough space on the output media.
Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks!

not sure why DVDSP would give you this trouble. You might need to import to a new project to reset the disc meter. Try just doign the build and see if the size of the video_ts folder is correct.
If not, check to make sure you are not burning to a CD instead of a DVD, stranger things have happened.

Not enough space on output media

I am trying to burn a DVD-R disc. I have 110 minutes of video at a bit rate of 4.5, max 7.0. The video was encoded from Final Cut Pro to mpeg-2 and the audio as aif. I have gone through the formulas in the help guide but I keep getting an error message that there is not enough space on output media.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
thanks in advance,
Cece

As Kelly points out, uncompressed aiff audio takes up an enormous amount of space.
Encode in a.pack to two channel stereo, 192 kbps, -31, no film compression.
Also having a maximum bit rate that high for nearly two hours of video is iffy,
You might want to drop it back

"not enough space on out put media"

i have been using dvd studio pro and it worked flawlessly until now. i have been getting "not enough space on out put media" on the log. im using a 15" mbp and a recently acquired 20" imac. can anyone help me out?
thanks

It sounds as though you are trying to put too much video onto your DVDs.
If this is the case you will have to lower the bitrate at which it is encoded.

My Lacie external hard drive will not back up on Time Machine. Says there's not enough space. This has happened with every single external I've purchased. Thought TM was supposed to delete old backups??

My Lacie External backed up on Time Machine after the first back up but now says there's not enough room. I thought TM deleted old back ups to save new versions. What am I doing wrong. This happens to me constantly. Every single external hard drive I've purchased for the MacBook Pro (5 of them) has not worked either initially or at the second back up. It either isn't formatted properly so I have to go to Genius bar to help me set up for the first back up, or after the first back up, it says there's not enough space and I have to go back to Genius Bar. Is there a way I can fix this on my own?

I just purchased 2 external hardrives. a LaCie Minimus and a G Drive. Each 1 TB. The guy at Apple told me that would provide 2 good TM backups for me. My internal HD has 750 GB capacity, of which I'm using 700 GB. Perhaps the ratio is not great enough. I do wish they would have told me this before I purchased the two Bummmmer! I even had them format and get the first back-ups going because of issues I've had in the past. I also just bought a 750 GB for photos.
So, I won't be able to buy another bigger external since I've just purchased 3. Ugh. Well, I'll just exclude some files and divide things up. Eventually, I just want my 20,000 iphotos on one of the 1TB externals, and a TM back-up on another so that iphoto will function once more. It really hates how many photos I have and is brutally punishing me for it.I seriously need to do some housecleaning!
Thanks for the advice. Just moved from US to Australia last week and was hoping to upload a few photos and the domino effect has lead me to this. Just went to Genius Bar in Perth today and they told me how to reformat drive to transfer iphoto library over, but I got stuck at trying to back-up my TM.

I changed my LCD last day and now i noticed all my pictures on my phone are gone. I tried to restore the back that I got yesterday but it wont let me because its telling me there is not enough space on my phone!!!

I changed my LCD last day and now i noticed all my pictures on my phone are gone. I tried to restore the back that I got yesterday but it wont let me because its telling me there is not enough space on my phone!!! That's wierd because I didn't download any app or anything else since my last backup and on the other hand about 3000 pictures are gone, how come there is not enough space left! I also check my usage on my phone and it shows that i have about 7.0 GB pictures!!! BUT my photos is empty! I want my picture back on my phone any solution anyone?

Thanks for your reply!
I just called the guy who changed my LCD and asked him what happend, he said there were no pictures on your phone when you gave it to me! i know he is lying tho!
My apple warranty is over and I have to pay them to get some help over the phone!

TS3212 I just purchased a new iphone 4s and I am trying to load some music from my itues. I am getting a message that says not enough space. I checked my phone and it shows i have 5.1G available. do you know how to fix this problem?

I just purchased a new iphone 4S and I'm trying to loan some music from itunes. I keep getting a message that says not enough space on my phone. I checked my phone and I have 5.1G available. I deselected all the songs on my itunes to try and get it to sync and I keep getting the same message. Any tips?

Hey csumner1,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are receiving a "Not enough free space" alert when attempting to sync your new iPhone 4s. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
iOS: "Not enough free space" alert when trying to sync
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1503
Resolution
Try disconnecting and reconnecting your device, then syncing again to solve this issue.
Orphaned files may remain on your iOS device if it is physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, the Capacity indicator in iTunes may report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device. To resolve this issue:
1. Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
2. Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
3. Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
4. Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
          - If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 5.
5. Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device. To do this:
          - Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
          - Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
          - Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
          - Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes.
If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 6.
6. Restore using iTunes.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Supposedly there's not enough space

My iPod wont let me download apps because "there's not enough space" but there is

To download and install an app the iPod needs storage available equal to about three times the file download size.
If you sync from your iTunes library less storage available is required.
Does the app/iPod meet this?

I have 'not enough space' cursed Pages; even though I have plenty of room it refuses to let me download and install it.

Common problem, except all trouble shooting leads to the suicide of the question asker because it yields only claims that no matter what you say, you need to make MORE space. It's a 30 meg file, I have 500 meg free. I have deleted and redownloaded and rebooted about thirty times, in various combinations.
Previously I have cursed many apps this way, always free apps, so I just accepted they were 'dead' to my phone, even after iOS updates and ever since the iPhone 3 this problem has existed (ie: if you didn't have enough space when you START downloading the first time, kiss that app goodbye for life, it just WILL NOT download EVER.) and will either sit at 'Waiting' for a while then claim there's not enough space, or just sit at 'Waiting' indefinitely and progress no further.
The only thing I haven't tried is formatting the entire thing as a fresh phone and retrying, but that's pretty extreme. Has Apple acknowledged this bugs existance yet? Every support thread I see gets replies of "Make more space." no matter what the asker states and eventually the guy just stops coming back and asking, so they're all pretty much unresolved.
Just for the record, I have extensive experience with technology, and am not mentally disabled, so please feel free to talk to me at the level at which your inner voice talks to you, I assure you I will get it. So, can has halp plz? 8(
(PS: I cannot update to the lates iOS 7 as I do not have the insane size required for it to decompress and install, etc, and to do so would require deleting things I cannot lose or having to back it all up manually because there's no convenient way to do it otherwise. Although I can assure you that this problem has been present since the iPhone 3 first came out which was my first iPhone and has been present in every iOS update since, so I have no reason to believe out of the dozens of updates that iOS 7 has addressed this.)

When you don't have enough storage to perform an operation, then you don't have enough storage. have you got the 16GB iphone?

I get error message: not enough space to download when I try to buy a tv series on Itunes. It tells me to delete photos or videos to make space, but I have no photos and videos. Help?

I get error message: not enough space to download when I try to buy a tv series on Itunes. It tells me to delete photos or videos to make space, but I have no photos and videos. Help?

I would guess that a TV series takes up a fair amount of storage capacity. It is just a standard message I think that may indicate that you are actually running low on storage space.
If you go to Settings>General>About how many GBs are specified as being available? If you are low on space maybe deleting some apps may help.

Timeline won't back up (not enough space)

Timeline won't back up because it says there is not enough space on my external drive. This never happened before.
I have 10.6.8. I just restored my new hard drive from Timeline. It was an easy restoration. The first time I
backed up on Timeline, it said there was not enough space. I do have my external drive partitioned. I thought old backups
were deleted when the space was needed. What happened? Thank You

I thought timeline deleted old backups on it's own so you would not run out of space. Did I misunderstand this? Is it just a coincidence that this occcured the very first time I tried to back up after I restored my hard drive from the external drive, through Timeline?

I have backed up my ipad to my laptop prior to updating to the latest IOS and now I want to restore the backup back onto the ipad but it says there is not enough space? I have tried unticking all apps i no longer need, music etc but this still doesnt work

I have updated up my ipad2 which had the original version on it (4.??) to the latest version of IOS. Before I did this I backed up the ipad to my laptop so I wouldnt lose precious pics and videos of my baby boy. Now that the latest version is on the ipad it is now asking me if I want to start as a new ipad or restore my backup from itunes. So i select restore my backup from itunes and connect to itunes but it now says there is not enough space to do so. I have a feeling it is because there are alot of pics on our ipad which i presume are all in this backup, many of which we do not need on the ipad anymore but I have no idea on how I go about deleting these pics?? And how do I find where on my laptop this backup is and most importantly the video and pics of my baby boy.

Restoring an iPad from an iTunes-generated backup should not require an Apple ID password.
Did you encrypt the iPad backup? If so, then trying to restore will require entering the encryption password.
