"out of disk space" error on export, or stalls at 100%- but I have plenty!

Can anyone help me with this?
I'm using FCE HD 3.0 on an iMac 2.66 Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB, running Snow Leopard.
I have over 700Gb available on the internal hard disc.
I'm trying to export a short (under 4 min) movie as a self contained Quicktime file. The footage was captured as DV-PAL anamorphic. On export the status bar says it will take "about a minute" counts down as expected but then stops at 100% and fails to finish. I left it at that point over night last night and when I came back to it this morning I had an "out of disk space" error.
I've tried trashing preferences.
If I export using Quicktime conversion things work fine.
Thanks
Mary

FCE3 isn't supported on recent versions of the OS or QuickTime. Strange things can happen because of this.

"out of disk space" error with Quicktime export

Hi - just trying to export a fairly small (3 minute) video sequence to record via iDVD. When I try to export the sequence as a Quicktime movie, I get an "out of disk space" error. I don't understand why - the video is not that big, and I have over 30 GB of free disk space. I suspect I'd be able to do it if I deselect the "self-contained" option - but I don't understand why 30 GB of disk space isn't enough.
Other details: FC Express 3.0

Well, I thought everything had been rendered, but I'd missed a couple of transitions. When I tried to render those, I got another "out of memory" error. Turns out I'd misinterpreted what the "minimum scratch disk size" setting meant - it was set to 32000 MB - I thought that meant that 32 GB would be available for storage, but I guess it means that the 32 GB will NOT be available for storage.
Anyway, I changed that minimum to 10000 MB, and now everything works....
Thanks!

"error: out of disk space message" while exporting Quick time file

Got an "error: out of disk space message" while exporting a 94min hdv project to the quicktime conversion (format:QT mvie, use mose recent settings / Options-dv/dvcpro -ntsc, size-dimensions compressor native) I also tried using compressor to creat a QT movie and got same error message. It gives me an estimate of 4-6 hrs, runs and at the end of 4hrs it gives me the error message. It is a large project, transitions filters 4+vid tracks 9 audio tracks, but Im using a dual4core, 4 gigs of ram.
Is this a ram or hard drive problem. I asume its the disk but cant imagine Im running out of space.
I've tried sending it to the "hard drive bay 1" with 30 free gigs and to the "hard drive bay2" which has 22 gigs open. can't imagine we are making a file bigger than that. I'm thinking about sending it to an external drive with 60 gigs free.
Any help would be great since We have our sound mixer waiting for this as a video reference. Also trying to export OMF files but they are greater than 2 gigs so we're gonna try and split the track up with 4 tracks, 3 tracks & 2 tracks. This has been over a years worth of work and our sound mixing is the last thing to do. Please help us over the hump and I'll thank you on our website, thelaughingplanet and maybe even send you a copy of the movie. Marc

""hard drive bay 1" with 30 free gigs and to the "hard drive bay2" which has 22 gigs"
Sounds like you're getting perilously low on drive space, you should always leave about 15% free on a drive for the OS to do it's thing. Either backup and clear some room, or get another drive.

"Out of Disk Space" Error When there are 198GB available

We are attempting to capture a two hour video from VHS through an ADVC-300 box. We can capture short videos easily. For some reason we keep getting an "out of disk space" error even though there are 198GB free on the scratch disk which is an external LaCie hooked through USB 2. The settings for the scratch disk have the Limit Capture unchecked.
Any ideas why this is happening? I've seen some postings about timecodes effecting capture, but since this is VHS through a box, that should effect things, right?
-Kirk

dont know if its the cause of the specific error, but USB2 is not at all suitable for capture, especially long captures
USB2 has excellent burst transfer rates but does not have the sustained transfer rate necessary for video capture

user11204020, what's your question?? :)
You're getting an out of disk space error ... which means you've run out of disk space, no?
Since it's saw related I'm guessing you'll need to make more space available to your OracleBIdata/tmp directory

It keeps saying running out of disk space need to delete some photos and videos but i already cleared out all my photos and videos and it keeps saying the same thing

Connect the iPod to your computer. Click on the iPod under Devices and iTunes. How large is the "other" category as shown in the colored bargraph? If larger than about 3/4 GB, restore the iPod. That large of "other" indicates corrupted files.

ITunes out of disk space error message. All downloads are paused

I found a solution to my dilemma of a disk space error message with iTunes running on and XP Pro machine. In my case I am running a SBS server and have folder redirection enabled to point the My Docs folder to a network share. Come to find out Disk Quota's somehow was enabled this preventing me from downloading any new podcasts or music.
Disk quota's are also a feature of XP (not sure but will assume so with Vista and 7). To check to see if Quota's are enabled, find the drive iTunes music is stored on. Open iTunes and click on Edit>Preferences>Advance. More than likely it will say C:\Documents and Settings... In my case it was an network share in the form of \\Server1\User Data\user.... If you are redirected to a network share than you will need help from your system administrator to fix the problem with Disk Quota's.
Open My Computer and right click on the drive listed in the above process and select properties. There should be a tab called Quota. Check to see if Enable quota management is checked. You can simple uncheck this or give the person more space by editing the Quota Entries which is located on the bottom right.
How this helps.

I've seen that Quota thing on my home setup. Good to know - I'll continue to leave it alone!

Running out of disk space error even tho I have 200GB free!!

Dear users,
I have a huge problem. I have dowloaded an application from the AppStore named "Virtual City" and once I try to play the game it crashes saying "Running out of disk space" even tho I have more than 200GB free on my hard disk.
I am using a MacBook Pro Mid April 2010 with Lion latest version.
What could be the problem??
Thanks in advance.

Did you try to reset your phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
Do you have an "other" section on your phone, bigger than 1GB? If yes, try to restore the phone to bring it back to normal size, it might contain corrupt data from an unsuccessful sync.

Insufficient disk space error during export

I've been exporting approximately 1,200 photograghs (975 MB) to a Desktop folder which I copy and then burn to a DVD for playback on a Windows PC without difficulty for the past several months. However, I'm now receiving an error message stating "insufficient disk space for that operation". What's happening? I receive the error even when attempting to export 50 photograghs (25 - 30 MB).

I have edited most of the JPEG files with PE4. Could this be causing the trouble?
Possibly. Check your Edit->Color Setting menu window and see if you've got color management turn one. Mine looks like this. If it's not set to manage then some of those files may not have a profile. To correct this you can either reedit each and save to embed the profile or, much easier, download the Automator application "Embed sRGB Profile" from Toad's Cellar, unzip and drag the original files that need it onto it. It will automatically embed the profile.
Were the files you tried to export the same as before or a new bunch? Had then been editied?

Exporting 90 min project into Q/T. Error out of disk space??

After an atmmpted export reaching 99% - Message "Error out of disk space"
Can't export full movie.
Tried exporting in smaller chunks and that seems to work but obviously not the result i'm after.

OK, let's play 20 questions!
Here are the first four:
Where is your media stored?
What codec are you exporting?
What drive are you exporting to?
How full is that drive?

"error: out of disk space message" while creating 20gig QT file

Got an "error: out of disk space message" while exporting a 94min hdv project to the quicktime conversion (format:QT mvie, use mose recent settings / Options-dv/dvcpro -ntsc, size-dimensions compressor native) I also tried using compressor to creat a QT movie and got same error message. It gives me an estimate of 4-6 hrs, runs and at the end of 4hrs it gives me the error message. It is a large project, transitions filters 4+vid tracks 9 audio tracks, but Im using a dual4core, 4 gigs of ram.
Is this a ram or hard drive problem. I asume its the disk but cant imagine Im running out of space. I am sending it to an external hard drive with over 80gigs of free space. This makes no sense, please help.
Any help would be great since We have our sound mixer waiting for this as a video reference. This has been over a years worth of work and our sound mixing is the last thing to do. Please help us over the hump and I'll thank you on our website, www thelaughingplanet com, maybe the movie credits and maybe even send you a copy of the movie. Thanks, Marc

The 20 gig qt file was what the mixer asked for. I guess he wants it instead of a dvd because it can be inserted to his pro tools. He asked for the 16:9 size dv/dvcpro ntsc format. He may be wrong and a half frame size would work. he did say he wanted the precision info provided by the QT file. Will the half frame give him the same frame and precision movie info of the 20 gig file with only a lower quality display image?
The problem with dropping everything into a dv seq is that we have many sections that have multiple layers of video with movement and size changes. What is the problem with making a 16:9 QT file?

Disk space error - final cut express 4

I'm new to final cut express. I color corrected a 60 minute video clip and attempted to export the sequence to Quicktime. It got about 80% complete and stopped due to out of disk space error. I have about 16 GB of remaining internal hard drive space on my macbook pro. I just received the software last night, so I do not yet understand scratch disk setup, etc. Is there a preference I should change or should I export to an external hard drive? I'm attempting to
import the final clip into imovie and idvd.

In addition to Al's response, with only 16GB left on your internal hard drive you are effectively out of disk space. You need to move stuff off that drive and/or delete what you no longer need. If you are doing video it is wise to keep at least 50% free space especially if the drive capacity is 500GB or less.
If you are doing HD video, here are some numbers to consider:
1 hour source media (video clips) = ~45GB
1 hour of render files of your 1 hour movie = ~45GB
1 hour exported QT movie = ~45GB
1 hour iDVD project of your completed QT movie = 2 to 4 GB
So your 1 hour project could easily consume 140GB of disk space.

Out of disk space message

Can anyone advise me please? My disk space seems to be fluctuating from 2.2gb free space to Zero kb. In between I notice that the available space goes up and down. Is someone downloading from me?
All I keep getting is 'out of disk space' error messages.
When I reboot the disk space shows 2.2gb free but then in an hour or so I start getting the messages.

my 'other' things takes up 400GB out of my whole 500GB mac mini hard drive.
(1) This is the Macbook Pro forum, not the Mac Mini forum.
(2) How do you know the other two are also using Lion?
(3) How do you know you have the same 'problem'?
What onClick reported—a variation of ~0.6GB in a free disk space—is reasonable. His only problem was that he wasn't leaving enough free space on his boot drive.
As to stulid, 2.2GB variation may be normal—depending on what the OS is doing, and how much swapping is taking place. He had a serious problem with free disk space—one is courting trouble if one lets it come close to zero. But that was long ago…

"out of disk space" when trying to export

I'm working on a Macbook Pro and Final Cut Pro HD version 4.5. Here's the deal:
I'm trying to move a project into iDVD, so I'm exporting it as a Quicktime Movie. After about a minute of exporting, the "Error: out of disk space" window pops up. I have almost 3 gigs on my external drive which, I think, should be enough for the file.
On another post, someone with the same problem said it was a faulty timecode that made the project seem reeeaaallly long and the drive didn't have enough room for that long duration. I believe this might be the cause of my "error" because at the very beginning of my project the time code reads 01:00:00;00. If this IS the problem, how do I fix it? If not, what do I do?
I am a very amateur film editor and would very much appreciate any help!
Thanks.

Two things:
1. That is not nearly enough of available space. At least 20 GBs is needed.
2. FCP 4.5 HD is a PPC app; you are running it on a Intel Mac. Not compatible and you will have issues. I'm surprised you were able to install it.
