temp and log files where r they?


tomkatt

Question

When I am copying or makeing a dvd i notice the program likes

about 5 gigs free. I guess for the temp log and temp files

and buffer under run.

 

But 2 times my dvd projects failed and i had to start

over try to re burn them.

 

Problem is i dont think my local/myname/temp log/temp files

got erased. I cant find the folder to erase it myself.

Where is this folder?

 

I had 6 gigs free and am now down to 888mb

WHICH is BAD for windows! Something is wrong.

 

Any help how i can get these to go away and free

my drive space?

thanks

Go here and download GSpot. Thaty will check the file and tell you what codec you need to open it. You can then get the correct codec from the same place.

 

Sorry about all the multi post.

 

Was frustrated. Gave up on this.

 

3 hours last night and an hour this morning.

 

Using the video inspector and gspot i finally

got it back to where i can put the file in movie maker.

 

convert it save as wmv. Then burn that as an iso

with roxio. then disc copy that onto a dvd.

 

FInally. Thanks so much, i hope others get

things working for them and will try to help

out where i can.

 

peace take care all

Only if you have disc copier associated with .iso - I get a choice of programs on right click - winrar, Ultraiso, disc copy and so on :P

 

 

Thanks. Now i have a new problem. I use to take my .avi file into movie maker.

Export it. Ok now its wmv file. I take that into roxio. I make a dvd builder.

Save that as an iso. Then use disc copier to copy the iso back

onto a dvd as a dvd movie.

 

Fine. Worked back then. Something with real player messed it all up

maybe? NOW i cant convert that avi into anything for roxio

to burn!

 

Why didnt i just burn the avi in roxio, it doesnt recognize it.

No codec maybe. Why didnt i burn the wmv and not make an iso,

because i get the error code when buring again no idea why.

As said above...

 

But now i have a real big problem. I cant find a codec

to open the avi at all so movie maker wont convert it,

pinnacle wont and roxio wont inport it at all.

Stoik didnt convert it.

 

I can play it with media player but thats it.

No way to burn it.

 

Can you help me figure out what happen?

 

I tried avi players and even DIVX i cant get

this avi file into another file to burn and

i really need it. I think its so messed up

not having the right codec.

 

I tried it on my laptop and it also says i need

a codec. MOVIE maker says if you already

installed this codec shut down and restart

if not...

 

then i guess i need something else...

 

Thanks so much u guys always help

The folder may be marked as hidden system - open Explorer and in tools, folder options, view, check the tick box to 'show hidden files and folders'.

 

Normally the program will clear the temp files after a successful render and burn but other times it doesn't happen.

 

Personally, I use Ashampoo Winoptimizer to clear out garbage but Norton Windoctor or One Button Cleanup should also work to remove them.

 

To do it manually, go to start, search and search for *.tmp

 

I couldnt find anything under folder options.

 

Yes they normally delete. But this was not a successful burn. It burned some,

then frooze with errors.

 

I did it manually and found some of them and was able to erase those thanks.

I did a spyware scan. I know i need a defrag. Maybe a virus

is blocking something.

 

My hard drive is back up to 5.66 gigs.

But this time my burn said

 

error 0x80004005

 

So i will look up that one.

 

However i dont see any traces of the tmp file i think

it did delete correctly this time.

 

Thanks for your time.

Thanks Daithi,I kept getting a timeout for that page.Don't know if that'll fix it for them but it's worth a shot.I know they're trying to do a DVD not a VCD but maybe it will help.

 

Ok thanks. Yeah my whole PC has issues. Well i burned to my hard drive

as an ISO file.

 

NOW i am going to try to make that go back on a DVD.
