Roger,
The temp file is the final output, when it is done it is renamed to [whatever].mov
[Roger Bansemer] “Is there some correlation between those temp files that are set in the preferences and those that are being made when rendering the .mov files?”
I don’t know, but when you’re working with such big files you need lots of contiguous space. Have you looked in the Windows Event Log for application error messages?

I hope things are getting better for you.
