no hard disk space

[benj1989]

Hi,

when running ffmpegx about 3gb of hd space went away...
only have a few mb now because I trashed things away...
where are their files on the hd from ffmpegx?

thx alot

The files are where you saved them. Unless you altered things prior to pressing the "Encode" button, the partially completed conversions are in the same folder as the source video file(s).

Sounds like you need to clean off more than just the partially completed conversions, however. If you only have 3GB free space, you'd better trash some other things, too.

hey, launced 3 operations at one time, went to sleep then..., so one was running, others in queue
(needed to test some things with subtitles)
i know i should do some cleaning... but it's not really the problem now... just wanna know where those files from ffmpegx that fills op the rest of my disk are...

just wanna say that i didn't let the videos save on my boot disk, but on an external one

The temp files are in the folder in which you were going to save the video. ffmpegX will (or sometimes may not) delete those files when the encoding is completed. It does not store any invisible files or put anything in a non-obvious location.

it does because i've 2,5-3gb less space than before that night (deleted some things now to be able to work with my computer)

If you used "Decode with mplayer", then in some cases a temp file may be written instead of a 0 bytes throughput pipe. To find it, use a program like OmniDiskSweeper.
