How do u change (or clear) Sizzle scratch disk?

[smokey]

So I have been unable to sizzle a osex ripped dvd stream in sizzle above 3gb!

I think the problem is that I have partitioned my harddrives to 10gb and 30gb and on my system drive with my applications there is only 5 gb available!

What to do...I moved the sizzle app to my datadrive with the 30gb available to no avail. Then I ran chache cleaner X to hopefully get more space and to no avail.

Can you tell sizzle to use an alternate drive as a scratch disk...or is this not the problem..

Please help. I love osex because it allows to rip by chapters, then I realized not to use sony media, (i mac 1.25 superdrive), now this seems to be another hurdle!

What to do?

Hi,

In sizzle 0.1 there is a button at the top left of the window called 'Scratch Folder'. You should be able to set the location of the scratch disk by clicking that.

Thanks. But does that work in Sizzle 0.5?

And does anyone have a 0.1 tutorial handy, I can't seem to figure that one out...it keeps giving me an error msg about the vob files ripped from osex not having the nav for dvd or something.

these same files work ok in sizzle 0.5

And can i do the same thing for toast, in terms of moving my scratch disk? Does it always use the startup disk? OR just the disk that the application is on, meaning if I move the app to my 2nd larger drive, that's where toast and sizzle will put the scratch disk?

I can't see a similar option in Sizzle 0.5, but you should probably be using Sizzle 0.1 anyway. The 0.5 version has some serious bugs (see the Sizzle website) and I think a lot of people have reverted to 0.1.

I suspect Toast uses the default location for temporary files (/private/var/tmp/ i think), but I don't know how you'd go about changing that. In my opinion you should probably have your os x install on a bigger partition anyway, there are reports online (search macosxhints for swapfile) that since 10.3 your swapfile partition should have at least 5 gigabytes free on it.
