View Full Version : DVD2SVCD Suggestion - Auto Delete Vob files

Let me start by saying I love this program, and as far as I am concerned, with my experience with it, it is damn near perfect.
But, I do have a suggestion.
I have limited space on my hard drive (around 12 MB free).
I would really love to see an "Auto delete Vob files" option, that would kick in after CCE finishes encoding.
I have to do this manually right now, as I have run out of disk space on a few occasions.

Great program, thanks!

after video is encoded you need another 3GBs or so for pulldown and image files. Your already unchecking "don't delete files" option which should free you up plenty of space. Then your crash recovery is starting fresh from the .vob files but at least you have the hd space.

Thanks for the reply mrbass.
Which files does unchecking "don't delete files" result in actually being deleted, and at what stage in the DVD2SVCD process are these files deleted?
I've tried this with previous builds, but didn't notice any gain in hard drive space.

here's what it looks like with that unchecked. Now you go try it with it checked and compare the extra data that is left around. Thank goodness I didn't have to type in those file names.

Thanks mrbass.
You're a good egg (that's an Easter joke)
Happy 4-day weekend everyone!
