Modifying Batch

[em64t]

Now that I have got a hang of D2S, I was wondering how I can edit the batch, such as to conserve the HDD space.

So what I am looking for is places to insert del commands in the batch program that will not mess up the batch but yet help conserve the HDD space so that the video conversions can finish.

As an example, last night I tried to backup The Passion of the Christ onto 2 DVD-5 discs. My 40 GB HDD was just not big enough.
My guess is that Passion will take around 30 GB of disk space to finish the conversion if I do not delete anything and 30 GB is not a luxury I have.

Maybe this is time to suggest features for the next revision of D2S.

Below is a log and my inserts in it. The command lines that I would like for you to pay attention to are in bold font. Correct me if I am wrong, but by inserting the del commands in italics along the process, more HDD space can be conserved without impacting the D2S software.
