How much HD space is needed with DVD-RB?

[Digga]

hi there.

newbie question here ;-)

I want do my first movie with DVD-RB and CCE SP 2.7 (3 pass).
the thing is, I'm low on space on my HD and can't afford a new HD ATM. my drive has two partitions (C:\20GB, 7.5GB free space and D:\55GB, 2.5GB free space). I could make as 'much' as a total of 19GB on drive D available with some hassle.
the movie Appleseed is 8GB (already on HD as an ISO) and I plan to do a movie only encode with all languages, menus etc.

now, how much space would I probably need to encode the movie (if it can be guessed beforehand)?
I've read the readme and the FAQ but I couldn't find something useful on this topic. *
if possible I would refrain from the big file swapping on drive D... if that's even enough.

any experiences?

*) from readme: "3. Select a working directory. It can be anywhere -- but make sure there is plenty of room for processing. The working directory will need as much as twice the space of the Ripped DVD (depending upon the mode -- discussed later)." --> that doesn't really get me any further... it's not discussed later.

I think you need around 8 - 8.5 GB if your aim is a DVD5. If you think of temporary files which are deleted afterwards with 9 GB you should be on the safe side.

all right, thank you.
I will try with 9GB free space then.

With "enable output directory" you can also split it to 2 x 4.5 GB on different drives/partitions.

just to complete Rippraff information:

Space needed:

Original DVD Rip - You'll need the same space used by the Original DVD, of course unless you use a rip "on the fly" using (ex.) AnyDVD

Working Folder
4.1GB - using an Encoder
12.1GB - using ReJig mode

Output folder
4.37GB

If you use ISO Output option you'll need Extra 4.37GB

mission accomplished ;-)
