divx on dvd with menu

[Bassmouse]

Hi,

I have been trying to put 75 music video's in divx format on an dvd. I made a menu with TMPGEnc DVD Author3. So far successfull. But when I start the output, the process stops at approximately 63%, giving me an errormessage saying I do not having enough disc-space to store the file. Strange because I have over 250 GB free disc-space available.
I don't know where to find the answer to this problem. Can anyone please help?
Thanks

No, you have 250 GB of DISK space (look at the spelling). That's a hard drive. "Disc space" means a DVD disc you burn to. You're trying to put more on a disc than will fit. Reduce the number of clips.

Sorry, a mistake in the writing, I definitely mean disk-space. And the file I try to make is no bigger than 4 GB and will surely fit on a DVD

Your system specs say you have only 40GB, so I assume you have a small system disk, and an 250 GB external drive. If not, it would help if you updated your specs.

Having enough space is only part of the problem. You also have to have it in the right place. Creating a DVD involves encoding and authoring. These are two separate steps, and require enough space for each. While you might well be telling tmpgenc DVD author where to put the compiled DVD structure, and it may well be on a large external drive with plenty of room, TDA still has to encode your videos, and it is probably putting these into a temp folder under documents and settings on your system drive, unless you have told it to do otherwise.

Are you making a divx dvd?( Not converting to dvd-video)

FAT file system? It has a 4GB file size limit.

I have 2 harddrives on my PC, the system drive is 150 GB, the second drive is 300 GB. I store the temp files on this 300 GB disk.

Yes i am making a divx dvd. Divx files on a data-DVD

I do not have FAT but NTFS

I started this topic hoping for an answer, but it seems like this is not a problem that happens rather often. Despite the response I had so far (thank you!) I have come no further to a solution.
I really hope there is someone, who can help me out.

Maybe it's one or few of those divx that causes the problem. Have you tried add just a few and test output?

You could also test other divx authoring tools like DivXMediaBuilder.
