Premiere 6 error writing file - disk full?

have premiere installed on new windows 7 pc. plenty of space. edited short (minute) video. went to render and get this error message saying error occurred while making the movie, eoor writing file...disk full? saw forums on settings...am clueless as to where i went wrong? i uploaded via windows movie maker as avi? so discouraged. could anyone give me a clue as to whether i can do this??? and how??? thanks for any ideas.

I don't have the particular notes file where I am (and it's so old I may not even have it at home) but for P6 that "disk full" message may mean the disk is full... and it may be a complete GUESS since "something happened" that P6 can't handle, so it throws up a message just to let you know that something went wrong
I do know from past experience that P6 does NOT like AVI type 1, so you might check around to find a converter to convert your Type 1 file to an AVI Type 2 file with 16bit 48khz sound
>uploaded via windows movie maker as avi
What does that mean?
Do you mean you have a tape based DV camcorder, and you are transferring files to your computer via Firewire?
This is aimed at Premiere Pro, but may help

Why is Premiere 6 giving a "Error writing file (disk full?)" message?

Hello helpful experts,
I'm using Premiere 6 on a Windows 7 machine.
I have a file imported in to the timeline and it is set to play in reverse via the speed setting being set to -100 and it plays back in the preview window correctly, in reverse, when I click the play button.
But when I do a "File>Export Timeline>Movie" command I get an error message saying "An error occurred while making the movie. Error writing file (disk full?)"... but my hard drive is not nearly full, with over 30 gigs left open on it... and my RAM usage gadget shows over half of my RAM capacity is unused.
Now previously, weeks ago on a different project, I was getting this same error message for a while when I would hit enter to preview my movie on the timeline (but that worked itself out somehow and eventually stopped giving me that error message). But when I went to save and export, then I would not get the error message... now, it is just the opposite... I'm now getting the error message when trying to do an export and save the movie.
And also now when I hit enter to preview, as opposed to just clicking the play button on the preview window, Premiere is going through the process of saving the movie since it is saving a temporary preview file... hopefully, since I'm getting this error message, I can find the temporary preview file and save it as my exported AVI file.
But I still shouldn't be getting this error message when trying to save, or when trying to preview, as I did for a while a couple of weeks ago.
Does anyone know about the erroneous error message that says, "An error occurred while making the movie. Error writing file (disk full?)"
Thanks,
numetro

Depending on your hard drive size, P6 may be confused... since drives were not as large when it was written

I am unable to complete captures because I get a message
that says "capture stopped because disk was full." What
does this mean?

If you are using a Pinnacle card, a possible solution to
this is to right click on the recycle bin, and set the
percentage on your media drive to less than 2%.
There a several other possible causes as well, but you
need to supply some info about your system. How are you
capturing and what format is your video? How big is
your hard drive?
Jeff Schell - 09:57am Apr 17, 2003 Pacific (#2 of 2)
this is one of my favorite error messages. Basically,
you've chosen an incorrect setting in your DV settings.
(Odds are you have DV settings). If so, read on:
1. The DV format is very rigid. Meaning that if you
   make changes to the format, it cannot export as
   requested, because your movie file must match every
   single spec exactly.
2. When Premiere goes to export a project, the DV codec
   says "Whoa. I can't do anything, because the settings
   don't match."
3. Then Premiere comes back to you and has to report an
   error. (Don't shoot the messenger). Unfortunately,
   Premiere doesn't know why it wasn't able to export a
   movie. So it says to you, "Um... I can't make the movie.
   Um... maybe your hard drives are full?"
It's a complete guess. And has nothing to do with your harddrives.
Check your project settings and/or your export settings. Make
sure you have chosen one of the "presets" that will specify
every correct setting for you. Make sure it is one of the DV
presets, if you are using DV video, or make sure it is one of
the presets supplied by your capture card manufacturer (in this
case I'm going to guess Pinnacle or Matrox.)
To choose a preset, go to Project > Settings Viewer, and then
click on the project settings column, and then click 'load' to
load a correct preset. Do the same with export settings.

Insufficient disk space / Error writing to Disk: when using photo library manager

First I couldn't open my iphoto library (again!) so I am rebuilding my library (again- 4th time). NOW I'm told I donot have sufficient disk space to import photos.
Using OSX 10-9-5 Memory 4GB
And just as I'm writing this I get Error Writing to disk memo
iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem writing to the volume containing your iPhoto library.

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.
If you select the disk icon for your hard drive on the Desktop, then Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the upper panel it will show your drive's space statistics - Capacity, Used, and Available. It is the latter you are interested in to see how much space is left on the drive. If you have less than 1 GB or so, then you must stop trying to write to the drive or you may corrupt it completely.

Can't install iTunes- error writing files to files to a folder -_-

When I try and install iTunes 8, it installs most of it but then comes up with
"Error writing file to C:/Program Files/Common Files/Apple/Mobile Device Support/SyncServices/Schemas/Contacts.syncschema/Contents/Resources/zh_CN.lproj /Conflicts.Strings. verifty that you have access to that directory.
I got my iPod for christmas and I love it but iTunes has dissappointed me. It won't install, what do I do?

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

IMovie - Console message: Error writing to disk! App indicates nothing..

My daughter spent hours working in iMovie v7.1.4, building a project. The system choked, in the end we went through a reboot and tried to reopen the project file. It indicated a 0s duration, with no pictures, music, etc...
Upon research, I notice that in the console messages, there are about 100+ messages in the following format. The application never once indicated there was an issue.
iMovie [[<PID>]] Project '/Users/<user>/Movies/iMovie Projects.localized/My First Project.rcproject' - save: Error writing to disk!
She was working in a user account that has parental restrictions. Not sure if this has any bearing...
Has anyone else ever had an issue like this? Where console indicates write errors, yet the application does not.

I would run Disk Utility and repair permissions. If that does not fix it, check to make sure that she has write access to the drive.

Why does iPhoto say "Error writing to disk"?

When I go on iPhoto I click on the "import all" button and try imorting my pictures from my iPhone to my mac and after a while of importing it completely stops and a window pops out saying "Error writing to disk" and I really don't know what to do to this solution.

Hello JJ,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

QFS won't error writing files to a SAN

Hello,
This is probably a simple thing to do but I have not been able to figure out how to do it. We have a SAN up and running QFS with 4 clients connected to it. I have a Java application that is writing files to this SAN and is running on one of the clients. If I unplug the fiber cable that connects that client to the SAN nothing fails. The file continues to grow larger. The Java app continues to run. And actually it's been running for about 3 hours now without failing and the file keeps getting larger. The file can also be seen and seen to grow from the other clients connected to the SAN. This seems pretty miraculous if you ask me!! I understand that QFS is using a caching mechanism by default. Sun told us to try setting the mount to do forcedirectio(I think this is what it is by memory). However they said that if it can't write directly it defaults back to cache anyway.
I can see this behavior being really good for a lot of applications. But, my problem is that I have applications running on all of the clients that are writing very large amounts of data almost continuously to the SAN. If there is any problem writing, whether the SAN just dies or we lose fiber connections or fiber cards or a LUN dies or whatever, I need the applications to be able to failover to an entirely different SAN without a single hickup. The way I thought I'd do this is by catching an I/O exception in the Java application but since QFS never gives an error I can't do this. Is there any way to force QFS to give me an error when there is a problem? Or is there a different way I should go about this. I am relatively new to SAN's so any help is greatly appreciated.

Error message: Startup Disk Full

I have a PowerBook G4 (circa 2004) laptop running OS X (10.3.9), and have lately been getting an error message saying "Start-up disk is nearly full. Try deleting files." (This is a paraphrase, as I can't make it happen; it comes up only intermittently.)
This is puzzling, as I have not recently downloaded any big files, nor is this a computer on which I store big files. I've not encountered anything like this before, and am not sure what to do. Any suggestions?

Assuming you've checked with Get Info to determine if the drive is truly full and it is not, then try this:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

CS6 - "error compiling movie - Disk Full"

This is the message I am getting from both Premiere and Media Encoder cs6 when I try to export my Premiere project. It is 1080p 59.94fps. This disk I am exporting to is FAR from full. I am running Mac OS X 10.7.4 - not sure how else I can export with these settings aside from "match sequence settings". Has anyone else had this problem?

Just to add a data point, having same error editting 1080P60 footage:
New CS6 Premiere Set-up
New Fresh win7 64bit install
P9x79 Mobo - 64MB RAM
3 Drives:

Clips - Raid 10 (14 - 2 GB WD blacks - Areca controller#1 - 12.7 TB total) - 1000/1000 MB Read/writes
scratch/preview - Raid 0 (9 - corsair force SSDs - Areca controller#2 - 1.6 TB) - 3000/3000 MB Read/writes (yes - I know ;->)
All drives NTFS and internal (so that is not the issue). Have NOT installed quicktime yet.
Can't export back to orginal settings - but can for any other format.
So it is something else beside a FAT32 and/or free space issue.

Error writing file name which contain both English and non-English name

Hello
I have this simple vbscript code which suppose to write all file names in some directory to a text file
Dim FSO
Dim FileDirectory
FileDirectory = "C:\temp"
Dim FileList
FileList = "list.txt"
Dim Fname
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set FileDirectory = FSO.GetFolder(FileDirectory)
Set objFile = FSO.CreateTextFile(FileDirectory & "\" & FileList ,True)
for each file in FileDirectory.files
Fname = file.name
objFile.Write( ChrW(34) & Fname & ChrW(34) & vbCrLf)
objFile.Write( ChrW(34) & FileDirectory & "\" & Fname & ChrW(34) & vbCrLf)
Next
objFile.Close
Everything goes fine while file names are in English but when some file name is non English or both English with non English name (right to left languages) an error raised, so how to deal with this writing issue without changing the file name
thanks in advance

Thanks
jrv for replying
I tested you code but it didn't worked for me (works fine for English file names but doesn't work with right to left language )

ITunes will not down load songs: error message is "Disk Full"

What is "plenty of disk space"?
You should have at least 10%-15% free on your boot drive.

Sounds like some kind of corruption on your disk - maybe repair permissions (a wild guess)? If no one answers soon, there is a separate iPhoto Forum that might be of help:
