"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!

"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.

Erroneous "insufficient disk space" error with WaveStudio 7

This has been bugging me for over 2 years. I get the "Insufficient disk space" error with Vista x32 and x64 and now with Windows 7 x64 when I've edited a wav file and then try to save it. I have plenty of disk space.
I've searched till I'm blue in the face but cannot find an answer and am tired of the lame work-around. I know how to copy and paste the entire edited wav into another file and then save it. It's annoying, but it works. What gets me is why is this not fixed?
Running CTWave.exe as administrator does not work. Running in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode does not work.
I have been a faithful Creative Labs user for more years than I care to remember, but this one is shaking my faith. Is there anybody who can explain why this happens, or offer a fix?
Many thanks and keep on rockin',
Dave

You may wish to try these steps in order to solve your issue:
1. Make sure your computer has the latest Java runtime. To do this, just google search "Download Java", go to the first URL and download that free software. This step should solve most of the "insufficient disk space" problems.
2. If step 1 failed to work, you can open "My computer", right click on the hard disk you were trying to write your files into. From the "File System" tab, check to see it's "NTFS" but not "FAT32".
3. If the above two steps do not work, try creating a new partition from your primary hard disk. To do this, click "Start" -> then right click "My Computer" -> "Manage" -> "Disk Management" -> Make sure you shrink a new volume for at least 50 GB to 100 GB free disk space, again please have the NTFS file system. Once you successfully created this new partition, do a format then try writing your music files onto this Disk.
4. I think the above 3 steps are able to solve your issue. However, there's a bug I found sometime back when Win 7 first released. You can try creating a "temp" folder in your primary system drive, writing any files in there should have no problem as long as disk space is sufficient.
5. I certainly do not hope that error was caused by your anti-virus programme, but if all failed, you may want to consider temporarily disable your anti-virus software, and if everything works fine, you might want to switch to a new anti-virus programme.
Cheers.

As a music teacher, I record piano parts for the students to sing to, but I can no longer do that! This would be a great fix! Hope someone responds with an answer!

"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

"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.

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.

You are running out of disk space error message

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.

(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…

"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.

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?

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?

"Error:Out of Disk Space" message. Why?

I've been using an Apple G4 with FCP2 to capture footage through a Sony DSR-11 deck. I've set up a LaCie 500GB 7200, with most of its 500GB available, as capture disk. As late as last summer I used this system to capture 70+ hours of footage which was then edited on another system.
This time I've met only problems. I've tried capturing 5 different DV tapes. They seem to be capturing but at the end of the hour I get the message "Error: Out of Disk Space".
Does anyone know why this might be happening? I've checked the set up and everything seems in order. (These tapes are 4:3, the ones captured last year were 16:9 DV, so the only adjustment I had to make was un-checking "anamorphic".) I even tried capturing to the MAC hard drive to see if the problem was the LaCie drive, but I get the same same message. (The LaCie I've been using had been full with last year's capture scratch and the disk had been erased through LaCie's Silverlining program, so for a while I began to think that this may be the problem; that maybe I'd have to reformat the disk, etc. but this test seems to rule that out.)
Thanks.

Since I last wrote I’ve changed hard drives, run tests on them, as well as trash my preferences, which I did earlier. Still, if I try to capture a tape (to disks with up to 460 GB available) I get the message “Error: Out of Disk Space”. The only thing I can think of doing now is deleting and then reinstalling the Final Cut software.
Here I’m kind of dumb and don’t want to make any mistakes. This Apple has been a stand-alone computer used only for Final Cut and the software was installed when I got it. The rest of my life has been conducted on a PC. So is there anything I should do before deleting Final Cut? Should I be doing anything to protect exiting project files, captured clips, thumbnail cache etc.? Will Final Cut just recognize these when I re-install? What do I do? Just open the Mac hard drive, identify the Final Cut application and drag it to Trash? Do I need to empty the trash first or should I leave it there for safety?
I look at the instructions that came with my ancient Final Cut 2 disks. Here’s what they say in full:
To install QuickTime, follow these steps
1) Insert the Final Cut Pro CD in your CD drive. (I see I have two disks: one “Final Cut Pro 2”, the other “Final Cut Pro 2:Tutorial Media” Do I need to install the second?)
2) Double-click the CD’s icon, then double-click the QuickTime Installer folder.
3) Double-click the QuickTime Installer icon and follow the onscreen instructions.
4) When the Choose Installation Type window appears, select Custom, then click Continue.
5) In the next window, click Select All, then continue
This replaces any previous versions of QuickTime and ensures a complete installation of all components required by Final Cut Pro.
6) When a message appears saying installation was successful, click Restart.
Is this all straightforward or might there be any potential pitfalls in the above instructions for someone unfamiliar with installing software on a Mac (In my case old software and an old Mac – a G4)? I guess I should also ask if you folks out there agree that re-installing Final Cut may be the answer to my problem, that this error message is the result of a glitch that has arisen in the installed version of Final Cut.
Thanks in advance for any help.
