   Tina, have you tried reading the "Help Guidance" within the software? This would be the first place to seek assistance for use of the program. Also, the preferences section of the program would be where you would indicate your personal choices for how the video conversions occur, including the "temporary folder" assignment, etc.

   Hi, Tina13601.
   Firstly, make sure, your system covers the requirements (1+ GB free HD space!) System Requirement

   Secondly, try to find your answer in mike's comment about file size
   #55 In case it helps anyone… The size of a DVD mpg2 video file depends on frame rate, length, & amount of compression
   You'll find more help under http://www.videohelp.com/

   Thirdly, clean your caches and temp-folders, e.g. with CCleaner.

   If this doesn't help, come back, but it is necessary, that you give us some more info about your computer, each system is different. Even the best tech (I'm not) can't help, without knowing how your system is build.

   Good luck!

   Simple answer is to clean up the drive your temp directory is on- usually C:- so you have at least double the size of DVD you're going to create. How you do that is way too broad a subject for me to get into.

   come to think of it... Oy. Thought I saw that in the comments: "The path for temp files etc is hard-coded in ‘DVDCreator.ini’ via the setting TempPath=C:\users\[login name]\Documents\Daniusoft DVD Creator\Temp", which I think would merit editing the .ini if I was gonna keep this thing. I'm not.

   This problem is why I prefer to have more than one partition, and move the temp directory ASAP to someplace easy to access and clear out. so many programs leave behind junk in the temp directory that it needs shoveled out anyway, and if it's on your boot drive it's gong to contend with installs, and (if you haven't moved it someplace more sensible) the swap file.

   a handy tool for moving the temp and tmp directories is Rapid Environment Editor 3.2, though there are other free tools for the job.

   Moving the swap file takes a trip to control panel>system>advanced tab>performance and you can set a swap file on another partition or drive and remove the one windows usually puts on the boot drive.

   I have Windows XP. I have 10.8 GB on drive C and in the temp folder that keeps on saying not enough space their is 11129 of space. I've cleared out & cleaned up everything I could its STILL not working. I have general knowledge of a computer I'm not whiz. I downloaded this program, went and baught a DivX player and DVR's and I'm really getting frustrated that it's not working.

   Hi Tina
   I seem to have pretty good results using Daniusoft DVD Creator on my XP machine with about the same amount of free space(but with several partitions).
   I'd suggest experimenting with the settings and using smaller vids and see what gives.
   You could also try changing the output folder creating a new "Tina Temp" one.
   My guess is you'll need about twice the space of the actual output(for converting... and creating the iso file or DVD folder).
   Goodgotd suggested using another drive/partition.
   Feel free to post us some screenshots.

   But the nagging thing about Danius DVDC is it doesn't remember its setting unless your willing to change the .ini file in the program folder.

   I just had another what-if hit me- are you running FAT32 or NTFS on the C: drive? FAT32 has a hard limit of 4 gigs (4096 megs) in one file, though why it would be trying to make one large file of the contents of a 4.35 gig DVD I am unsure about, unless it's one of those programs that makes up the whole disc then writes it back out to the smaller files needed for DVD. Since DVD's have a hard limit of 2 gigs, the vob files are usually 1 gig each.

   I'll take a look at relocation if those who have this problem will tell me if the drive is NTFS or FAT32.

   for that matter, check and see if your software, like mine was, set to create an ISO in the temp directory. If FAT32, that would do it.
