Not Enough Storage Is Available

[Jojogeo]

Hi,

I am using Roxio Creator 2009 special edition. This is my third version of Roxio and I made many DVD and slideshow. I am working on a DVD with about 400 pictures and about 7 movies. The total size of all of them is a bit over 1 gb. Each picture is about 2 mb and movie about 25 mb. I tried to do it in 1 videowave. When I wanted to edit the pictures, by example croping to obtain a 4:3 ratio, I received this message: Not enough storage is available. I assumed my projet was too big and then divided it into 5 slideshows, always in videowave. Even with only 33 pictures, I still received this message. I saved my work, thinking this could help but it didn't.

I am working with a Pavilion dv9330ca with window vista ultimate 64bits, 3 GB of Ram, Intel® Core 2, T5500 1.66ghz and Nvidia geforceGo 7600. I have 71.1 GB of space in my D drive which is where I have the files I need for my project and where I save my work. I have 24.6 GB free on my C drive. Maybe I need to increase the space on my temporary file in Roxio but I don't know how to do this.

Thanks for helping me.

 

I realised that I should have posted this in the general questions. Please let me know how to change it?

That isn't what it is shown in your previous post.

 

Sorry about that. I forgot to enter the 2 zeros before my minutes.

I am in edit a picture, press on crop. Normally, the picture appears with the broken lines to reduce it to what I want. In that case, a message comes in and tell me that there is not enough storage to complete the task and then, the edit box appears, without my picture.

 

I checked some of my pictures and they are all around those numbers: 3872 pix X2592pix ; 32 cm X 21cm, Resolution 300. Could it be my problem?

Yesterday, audio media selector asked for an update of quick time which I did. After that, and for whatever reason, the message didn't appears so frequently which I cannot explain why. Afterward, every time it appears, if I closed the program and restarted it. I was then able to continue to work on my pictures. I am up to 298 pictures and the message comes up once in a while. I close and restart the program and so on.

 

I came up with this conclusion, and let me know if it could be the explanation: If I modify the picture, there is always this message: "A copy of the picture is created. The original picture is not modified". This must mean that it saves a copy somewhere. Maybe when this file is full, the message "not enough storage" appears. By closing the program, maybe it saves it elsewhere and this is why I can continu when I reopen it.

Download and run CCleaner on your computer. It will get rid of all the temp and tmp files. Do not run the registry cleaner!

 

Also, open VideoWave (with no project loaded), go to the top menu, select tools then options then select to clear proxy files. That will get them all. You can also do this when you are editing a project; it clears out the old proxy files and then writes new ones that are in the production at that time.

Thank you for the info. I have done it and it helped. I have been able to complete my DVD now.

Thank you to everyone who helped me.

File size means nothing when trying to create DVDs, its the timelength of you project that is important. A standard 4.7GB DVD will hold 60 minutes of video at best quality, anymore and the video will be compressed resulting in lower quality.

 

How are your C: and D drives formatted? As NTFS or FAT32? With FAT32 your largest file can be only 4GB.

Have you defragged your drives lately?

NTFS.

 

I haven't fefragged my drives but I just reformated the whole computer. I had my motherboard changed following a major crash and also added 1GB of ram to it.

My production lenth is actually 8:56:16. I closed my videowave production and Roxio, restarted it and was able to crop some of my pictures. After about 10 of them, the message came back.

Your production is only about 7 hours too long for a single disc.

 

Also, instead of using VideoWave to crop your photos, use the freeware software, Image Cropper to do it. You can "bulk" crop your photos to fit in the Safe Zone, then use the pictures in VideoWave. Here is a link to the program:

How big are the images you're trying to crop? Keep in mind that standard def. video is 720x480 pixels. If your images are much larger than that, Videowave may be having trouble, so you might try resampling the images down closer to the final size prior to bringing them into VideoWave.

My production is 00:8 minutes :56 seconds . 16

I have 97 pictures , between 5 or 6 seconds each

I don't want to bulk crop the picture to fit the safe zone because it doesn't crop it where I want. I have photoshop but didn't want to have to crop and save each of them as a new file.

I will have a look at your darkwood program anyway.

This might be my problem. Too, too many pixels per pictures.

I doubt very much that picture size is a problem. I regularly use pictures >2mb without any problem, in one slideshow I have used >300 pics .

Exactly what are you doing when you get the error message?
