Wind River "Not enough space" error

[90312]

That's what happens when the file to write is too big to fit the media. You've been lucky up to this one.

This, I believe, was the first time I’ve ever seen this issue with DVDFab. The weird thing in this particular instance was that it didn’t fail while writing the disc and producing a coaster (a bad transcoding). It simply checked the disc, decided it wouldn’t fit, and then stopped without writing.

It has been my experience that transcoders are not perfect, they may compress a little over or a little under. My solution, way back when, was to set the DVD-5 size to customize at 4472. This gives me a little cushion should it go over a bit and have had no more issues with this.

When DVDFab checks the blank media, anyone know what error messages can be displayed and the error condition that prompts each message?

there are some error codes here - https://forum.dvdfab.cn/forum/dvdfab...-codes-updated

Good idea. I’m pretty sure I did when I installed it, but it’s worth rechecking.

try checking for a firmware update for your new drive.

The former Technical Services Director in me isn’t particularly concerned with making it fit. I should have been clearer, but I’m asking if this is a program bug in order to bring it to the team’s attention. Either there’s something unusual about this movie’s protection, there’s an issue with my blank media or new drive, or I’ve tripped over a recently introduced bug.

maybe the content is still too big to fit on to the blank media. try setting to 4464 mb for dvd-5 or 8124 mb for dvd-9
it might be some sort of copy protection that isn't getting removed properly. thus making the disc appear too big

[zapt]

The size of the content should be irrelevant. Either DVDFab is pre-calculating the necessary compression correctly or it isn’t. That is, the compression SHOULD make it fit on the media. If it really needed more space on the blank, DVDFab would simply have increased the compression.

[october262]

try disabling some of the audio tracks and see if the movie will fit on the blank disc.

Mine looks fine: C:\Users\Steve\Documents\DVDFab10\Temp\

Check in Common Settings and make sure your temporary file is not directed to OneDrive. See attached, I've already redirected away from OneDrive:

It's faithfully worked at the previous setting since DVDFab 8 with nary a coaster and perfect playback. And it was previously working fine this way in 10 until the latest update.Given the ridiculous length/size of current movies, I prefer as much space (and as little compression) as possible. I'll drop down if this no longer works (either because of the media or my new drive), but I'd rather not. Am I the only one having this issue?

Those were all checked. I don't typically change anything other than the setting for Drives > DVD Write. It's set for 4488 (DVD-R), which I believe is the default in DVDFab 10.

In DVDFab Common Settings>Drives>DVD Write, set the writable media size for DVD5 to 4300MB, which is a safe size for most of the backup process. Please have a try.
