not enough space on hard drive

[mooof1970]

Hello all,

I have nero 7 and am trying to burn 3 avi files to my hard drive the 3 files are a total of 2.5 gig
I open them all in nero make your own dvd and it encodes them to 6 gig.. Ok I hit the make it fit button and it shrinks it all to 4 gig why does it expand the file so much ? just a question anyhow, I go on to burn the project to my hard drive
it says Error not enough space for temp file 666mb free needs 4gig :/ I have 36 gig free on this drive but I am looking at the 666mb kinda funny so I try my other drives ....... same error message 666mb free... is this some kind of virus
also this is only in the video I cant but data dvds no trouble but the video it just doesnt like me to do

thanks for the help in advance

winxp sp2
1.8 amd 640mb ram
80gb hd

Empty your recycle bin.

Do you have Norton installed?

I have my recycle bin disabled it is saying I have 666mb free on a drive that has 36gig free I have McAfree but it is disabled and I am running avast not disabled it is the 666mb free that is so wierd it says that for all my drives and the drive emulator



here is my real troubles
I tried to make a dvd once make my own menu and animated chapters it took 12 hours to burn and when i put it in the dvd player it seemed to work but I couldn't select the menu icons to play the vids.. I have no trouble making a dvd copy my troubles are all in trying to make a compilation dvd with different formats avi,mpg ect. so I figured I would burn it to th HD first then try to convert it to a workable dvd

the drive emulator?

might be the clue!

[mooof1970]

i meant image recorder hahahah I have been up all night my brain is melting but it is after all a cd/dvd emulator right?

[mooof1970]

Ah HA!!! it was my settings for nero my temp dir was on my smaller drive so even though I was saving the video to a 36gig drive it was temp storing it on my root drive which has oddly enough 668mb so it wasnt the devil after all

you might need to take out the trash

[mooof1970]

Still Does anyone have an idea on why the dvd I made will open the menu and the chapter preveiws will play with background music and all but I cant play any of the chapters>?



and for Chewy this is way off topic but i dont have enough post to pvt themsg and it seems you know many things of computer perifs ie Nvidia many of my memory range and i/o range are conflicting it is an Nvidia geforce2 AGP and it is using the same i/o as mi pci bus and the direct mem access this is slowing my system to heck have any ideas? I cant change any of the settings and when i reverted my computers from acpi it still greys out the options
sorry this is off topic but just thought you might know

system root drives running windows xp and 666MB free are your first problem, fix it!
