working folder

[MarioGarcia]

hello;
can someone tell me what it's the maximum size a working folder can get? it's 3.35 gb enough.. the output folder is on another drive, no problem.. but it's the working folder that I am wondering
thank you

Well, I'm assuming it's also dependent on the way the encoder works, but when using both CCE and HC, and using teh same drive for workign and output, I always use about twice the size of a DVD5. Using 10GB, I've never had a problem. Be aware that if you've set DVD-RB to make an ISO as well, you'll need another 4.5 GB to hold it.

Also, if your using QMatOP, you need at least a few hundred MB of free space ont eh drive it's installed to for working space.

I wouldn't say 3.35 GB is safe. Most DVDs will require more space than that for the re-encoded video. The maximium size is around 1 DVD-R + 30 MB with CCE, +5 MB with other encoders. A 'safe' maximium would be around 4.2 GB. I would think 99% of discs wouldn't need more room than that.

I was only talking of the avs folder where all the ecl files are put... But I think you are right, 3.35 is too tight. I'd rather wait to get my new hard disk drive that should come on Monday.
thanks
