Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Encoding to DVD

  • Encoding to DVD

    I am attempting to use Premiere Pro 2.0 to Encode a timeline to DVD. The entire length of the project is roughly 32 minutes. The source video is DV-AVI, and I am encoding it to DVD Mpeg using a constant bit rate of 8.00 Mbps, 1 pass, PCM audio. The DVD media itself is blank (4.39 GB) and the drive where the temporary encoding files will be stored has 22.1 GB of free space. However, when attempting to create the DVD (or a folder or ISO file), I get this error: “Insufficient disk space on drive G: for creating temporary burning files” — drive G: being my hard drive (scratch disk) in this case. When attempting this on another drive with even more free space, I get the same error. I just defragmented the drives. How is 22.1 GBs not enough space to store temporary encoded files for burning?

    Is drive G in NTFS format? FAT32 has a 4gb size limit for any file.

    Yes, I apologize. I failed to mention that. Drive G: is using the NTFS file system. Thanks.

    I should also mention that the DVD itself, will take up no more than 2.5 GB on the DVD disk, though I realize it can take up to double the amount of space on the hard drive to encode temporary files for the final burning sequence.

    Hi Paul, I also had this problem on a 15 min video segment, and I had 178 gb of space on a NTFS raid drive free. I have a feeling it is caused by a buggy info in the save file. I found in my case by nesting the sequence I was trying to export to dvd inside a new sequence, it encoded fine. Hope this work around helps.

    Also to save you time I tried cutting and pasting all the info from the sequence that wouldnt encode to a new sequence, but this didnt fix the problem. Also tried trimming the project and this likewise was not helpful.

    So only thing that worked for me was the nesting trick.

    kind regards
