Help: Instant Copy wont burn saying dvdrw is only 2.5gig

[yumdonut]

Hi everyone I looked in other instant copy but coudnt find any answers so im posting this thread.

I just purchased Instant Copy + latest patch and tried to burn the 100% movie image I copied into my HDD using dvdshrink but IC refuses to burn saying the empty dvd-rw size is only like 2.3gig even its a new empty disc. All options were set to auto.

Anyone know why it dosn't work?

Thanks for help.

the only page you will need CrazyCurt's DVD guide (http://crazycurt75.freewebpage.org)

@crazycurt: Please read and follow the rules of this forum. Don't let your enthusiasm get you into trouble. Announcing your guide once is sufficient, twice is borderline, but three time is "blatant advertising".

It is especially misplaced here, as your guide does not address this particular problem.

@yumdonut: I would try using the burning program that came with your burner to erase the rw, then try again. It may require a full erase to be recognized as empty, but try partial first.

Are you sure it's not telling you that you only have 2.5G of temporary hard drive space? I had that same issue when I first tried using it, but when I emptied my trash and made some space on my hard disk, it started working.

hey thanks hmmmmm yeah as it turns out, IC was complaining that there was only 2.5G of temporary hard drive space in drive C: and not the dvd disc.

It was my misunderstanding of the error message :p

it's all solved and got my movie backed up Thanks :)

No problem.
