QT movie exports taking up double the disk space?

I've been using FCP 5.1.4 to edit a feature film. When I've exported QuickTime movies (Final Cut Pro) movies, I send them to a designated hard drive (Bay 2 of my MacPro). But during the last two exports, I've noticed that when I export to my scratch drive, roughly the same amount of data is suddenly used up on my main start-up drive (in Bay 1).
So, for instance, if I have a 20 GB movie to export to my designated scratch drive, I will suddenly "lose" about the same amount on my main hard disk, even though no movies or FCP settings are saved to that drive. It's quite frustrating, because I'm losing serious disk space with each export, and I can't seem to find the "phantom" movie files on my main hard disk. Simply put, I have no idea what's going on.
If anyone has experienced this (or can refer to to the proper forum, as it might be a MacPro or OSX question), I would appreciate it immensely.
Thank you.

Hi, Patrick.
Thanks for taking the time to respond.
I hadn't thought of the render files possibility... but all of my saved info is going to my designated drive, NOT my main system drive. At least, that's how I set it up. Is it possible that I made an error and accidentally re-routed the file path to my main drive? Possible, but I consider myself to be pretty thorough on such matters...
As for the project info: it's a feature film, and the reason I'm rendering is because I have to create use one of FCP's filters to create a running timecode through out the project (for composers, sound team, etc.). I basically create a QT movie of the sequence, then reimport that movie into FCP, and then apply the timecode filter, and then output a NEW movie with the timecode filter rendered into place.
I'll search around for any errant render folders/files on my main HD. If you (or anyone else) happens to consider some other possibility, by all means, give me a shout out.
Once again, thank you.

WSUS Server 3.2 wsuscontents folder size is taking away all the disk space(75GB)

Hi ,
We have Windows server 2008R2 X64. server and we have configured WSUS Server 3.2. The WSUSContents folder is taking away all the disk space and there is no space left . As a result WSUS stopped working.
We used WSUS Server cleanup Wizard, but it is not able to reduce the size of this folder.
Is there anyway we can purge the WSUS database? is there any script to run?
Thanks a ton in advance for the help.

How to use Aperture with iPhoto without needing double the disk space?

I've just purchased Aperture. I already use Iphoto and have several gigs of imagery in an iphoto library file.
I want to direct Aperture to import all from my iphoto file.
But....I only don't want Ap to simply create a duplicate of this file and use up several more gigs of space.
Is there any way I can get Ap to just create thumbnails rather than complete copies?
I should say that I will onlybe using Ap from now on, so what happens to the iphoto is of little consequence.

Hi,
You can use the referenced master in Aperture to get this done. When you import pictures from iPhoto, you can "dig" into the iPhoto library with Aperture and choose which photo you want to import where. In the import dialog, you can choose from "import to Aperture library" or "leave the file where they are". This will do the trick.
Personally I imported the files into my Aperture library, this created duplicates. But while importing them, I reclassified into Aperture to better fit my workflow based on Aperture capability. Then I archive my iPhoto library (just in case) and deleted it from my main disk. This freed up the space, but gave me a much better managed Aperture library. With a managed library in Aperture, you can have the vault feature as an extra measure for backups.
Considering you want to move on to Aperture, I would consider using the Aperture managed library that I describe in my second part of this message.

Sql Server 2012:Full Text Catalog taking up all the disk space

We have created full text catalog and index for a pretty large table. The column on which the index is being created has a datatype of varchar(max). The problem started as soon as we started populating the catalog. It almost grew to 835GB and Population
status stuck to "Processing Notification". I think is status code 9 which corresponds with
the "Change tracking" status in the SQL. It gets stuck in this status almost for ever.
Is there a way to deal with this huge catalog size, may be shrink it or move it to a different location.
Is switching off Change Tracking going to improve the situation.
Any help regarding this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Saikat

Hello,
There could be considerable amount of indexes on that catalog and the effect of the merge over them. Try the index size property of
the following function:

WSUS Server Database maintenance--WSUSCOntents Folder size is taking all the disk space (75GB)

Hi ,
We have set up WSUS Server 3.2 on Windows server 2008 R2 and set the Disk size as 80 GB. The WSUSContents folder is taking away all the disk space and as a result WSUS Server stopped working.
Details:
1. There are no other languages selected other than English.
2.There are no Downstream servers configured.
3.Server cleanup wizard runs for 10 seconds and it shows the below report .
4. Is there any script available to purge the WSUS database?

You need to perform additional administration on the server other than just running the Server Cleanup Wizard. Running the wizard with no other administration will accomplish nothing of significance.
Removing unneeded update approvals
Of course, running out of room on the disk drive may well have corrupted the database, at which point the only reliable means of recovery is to install a NEW instance of WSUS with a fresh database.

If you have an idea please respond!

You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Look though other Apple Mail folders like the junk mail and delete the mail that is in there. Look through your sent items folders and see there is any mail in there that can be deieted.
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Other things you can do to gain space.
Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

As far as i know we canot delete data from data files.But i think u can shrink the file.
But not suggestable.You can delete the juck or old data in the usr/trans/log/files.

What can be done so that these files do not eat up all the disk space.

Dear Adviser
This is NOT a bug report or an enhancement request.
We are looking for advice on a customer support call.
We are using iPlanet Webserver 4.1 SP7 and iPlanet Directory
Server 4.12 on Solaris 2.8.
We are checking to see if there is any engineering
documentation or quick pointers on LDAP database file
sizes and cache file sizes that may relate to a
reported problem.
Thank you for your time and co-operation in advance.
We have been working on a TIBCO/Portal Builder customer
issue that does not seem to have guidance in end
user documentation. This is related to a significant
increase in LDAP and cache file sizes (which at this
point do NOT seem to affect any performance). Is this
something that you are aware of from your QA/performance
tests? The problem seems to have suddenly cropped
up and we are attempting to isolate the triggerring event.
We started with the possibility that it is
a. Solaris Platform issue
OR
b. LDAP issue
We have done several experiments to isolate specific
issues as described below. We have researched
Sun/iPlanet web site and technical sites on the net.
Currently, we believe that the LDAP database size is increasing
because the Portal has been configured with pages
that have a lot of "Personalized" panes. Users are visiting
these pages, and getting automatically subscribed to these
panes, which add corresponding entries in the LDAP server.
Please find below the listing of all the files (from LDAP
DB directory) which are growing very fast. Kindly advise what can be
done so that these files do not eat up all the disk space.

This may be perfectly normal behavior for the LDAP server. If some application is adding a lot of data to the server, the database will necessarily grow. You can look at the access log to find out the IP address of the client, the BIND dn of the client, and the operations from that client. Perhaps this will help you narrow down the culprit.

What are the disk space requirements for CC2014?

Yes, Adobe has the system requirements for each INDIVIDUAL app in CC2014 listed, but they're all listed separately. Since I'll be installing the entire suite on my new machine, I'd like to know the disk space requirements for the ENTIRE suite.

2. You can increase the redo logfile size.Currently its around 48MB, incresae it to 100MB.While he probably should increase his redo log size, that will have zero impact on the amount of disk space consumed by the archivelog files. If the OP is generating 1gb/min of redo, he will consume 1gb/min of disk space for archivelogs. It may be with 1 ea. 4gb file every 4 minutes or 1 ea. 256mb files every 15 seconds, but it still comes out the same in the end. Redo file size influences how often a log switch occurs and the size of the individual archivelog files, but it has no bearing on the amount of redo that has to be archived over a given period.

Hi Rob, Thanks for your input. The temp location is on the C drive with 228 GB free space. My other drives have 123 GB and 204 GB of free space. I can see how the 32 bit set up is perfectly extracted when it stops when coming to the 64 bit set up. I have done the exercise several times and also made new downloads. I am using Norton 360 and Malwarebytes anti-malware but the dowload from Adobe should be trusted.
