What is error -2125, or where can I look it up?

After trying to export a very large project of 3 hours and 38 minutes I got this error twice.
The first time I thought it might have to do with diskspace, but after I moved it to a bigger volume, it stil returned this error.
" Unable to prepare for publsihing, error -2125" something like this.
Not very informative. I am used to error messages that give at least a hint at how to solve the issue...
So, what does this error mean, and how can I solve it?
Thanks.

All programs (that I've ever used) use various tmp directories and caches on the boot volume to do their work (Kind of like an airport. You may not spend your vacation at the gate waiting for the plane, but you still have to pass through the terminal to get to your destination.) Those files are not the final save location (they get wiped) in your scenario but they still play a big role.
8 GB sounds like a good number although depending on the complexity (HD vs SD) of the footage you are working with, it might need alot more space to decode and re-encode the footage.
In general I try to never let my boot volume get to below 10 GB free. For video work 30 GB would be an even better number.
I've done several searches and can't find an error -2125. Is there any error message text that accompanies this number? Not all error codes are published and sometimes they are just generic codes that offer very little insight into the issue.
As a test try the follow:
__Try exporting a different smaller project -- does it work? If it does then the issue is with your original project. If it doesn't then something may be wrong with iMovie itself and we can discuss that further.
__Try freeing up some space on your boot drive. 30 GB is the number I would shoot for.

  • What does error 2125 or 41 mean?

    What does error 2125 or error 41 mean?

    Hi
    Error -2125
    OK Error code - 2125 usually indicates that the movie is to large.
    It use to pop up when going to iDVD !
    iDVD - DO NOT CARE ABOUT Gbs at all. I got movies on 500Mb that do not fit and 50Gb that fits nicely.
    iDVD - ONLY CARES ABOUT - Duration. Duration is Movie time + MENU TIME. Choice of
    menu and animation of this can take lost of "DURATION" 15 minutes or even more.
    Choice of encoding method and use of SL or DL DVDs determine the DVD limit.
    iDVD 08 & 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST
    • Best Performances (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    DL DVDs can store about double of these times.
    ALTERNATIVE - The Error Code can indicate that free space on Start-up (BOOT) hard disk is
    less than 25Gb (my minimum)

    If you are getting OSStatus error -2125, I've seen this caused by the computer display sleep settings.
    Try changing the sleep settings to never and see if you are able to export.
    Error -41 - mFulErr - Memory full (open) or file won't fit (load)

    There are many ways and applications that you can use to build a web site. Which will be best for you will depend on the site you want to build and your level of expertise. Many experienced web developers just use a text editor, often one with specialized features for web programming (BBEdit, for example), but there are programs that can offer additional help, up to and including "drag and drop". Without knowing more about your needs, it's difficult to offer specific advice, but here are some possibilities:
    iWeb - came with your Mac. Easy to build but rather limiting in what you can do.
    RapidWeaver - more flexible and capable than iWeb but harder to use; sort of an "inbetweener" application
    Dreamweaver - powerful but expensive and a steep learning curve
    There are of course a number of other options. If you can provide more detail about what you wish to build and your level of experience, someone can probably make more targeted recommendations.
    Regards.

  • What is Recovery HD and where can I get it?

    What is Recovery HD and where can I get it? Disk utility says my hard drive is corrupt and needs to be repaired using Recovery HD. I downloaded Lion and do not have a CD from which to restart. Please help. My computer barely functions. This just began today, although it has been slower than usual for a few weeks. I removed lots of old Aperture Libraries with no benefit - even worse now.

    The Recovery HD is in lieu of a machine-specific Mac OS X install disk that you received in the past with versions that predate Lion.  With Lion and Mountain Lion you no longer buy a DVD of the Mac OS X nor do you get an install disi with a machine that has the system pre-installed.  The Recovery HD is a means to resinstall/restore the operating system, only.  None of the peripheral software or data you have have accumulated.  For that you still need a backup of the hard drive.
    Likewise you cannot write to the Recovery HD...doesn't even show up in Disk Utility and will not show up on the desktop if you have your hard drive(s) and partitions display on the desktop.
    It will show up if you restart and hold the Opt key, and you can boot from it that way or the Command+R key way that is most often recommended.

  • I keep getting a "not enough memory"  comment on my computer.  Where can I look to find out what is taking up the memory while i'm working?

    I keep getting a "not enough memory"  comment on my computer.  Where can I look to find out what is taking up the memory while i'm working?

    Are you referring to the message that says your startup disk is full?  If so, you need to delete some files from the hard drive, or get a larger hard drive.  Moving some files to an external hard drive is a quick and easy solution.  Note that you should avoid the temptation to use various utilities to clean up your system or remove parts (like unused languages).  That will not free up much space and can easily result in damaging your system.

    Hi Mark,
    You need to Update to OS X 10.6.8 = Snow Leopard so you can Update iTunes to Sync your iPhone.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

  • What effects are these and where can I find a tutorial?

    There are a few Effects in this banner that I would like to know what they are and how I can do them.
    1. The blocks that move and twitch around. That is the only way I can describe it.
    2. How the text messes up and scrambles as it comes in.
    If you could also find me a tutorial on you tube as well as the name of the effect would be much appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Hi Speedrookie,
    You can search on the terms Mylenium gave you to find tutorials via search. Here's a collection of tutorials on fractal noise: Fractal Noise in After Effects by Rich Young
    If you need more ideas, let us know.
    FYI, we do see a lot of requests for recipes for "how do I make this effect?," etc. that can be figured out with a good hunk of AE basics under your belt. This is a bit irritating to die hards here on the forum. Sorry if that was a little off-putting. Getting After Effects basics down something you might try if you have not already. It's very liberating.
