encore - not enough disc space error during build process

I assume you are talking about this error:

Blu-ray Error “not enough free storage”, Code: ”25” Note: “Not enough disk space

The most common workaround for this is to build to a folder and burn with ImgBurn (for PC) or toast (for Mac).

Searches show that there has not been success in many situations. I do not believe that it is one problem.

I have generally believed that the error refers to temporary storage on the hard drive. And users underestimate the amount of temporary hard disk drive space used. For bluray it is about twice the disk or more.

Some users experience this error when they are creating dual layer BD disks, and a layer is more than 25G. Each video/layer must fit on one side.

And some users successfully burn their disk by re-encoding to a lower bitrate (a 25G BD disk does not hold 25G). Encore uses padding to predict the size on disk (e.g. add 10% to the amount of space it predicts that build will use), and it can be wrong.

Always good to "run as administrator, though I don't know that ever fixed this issue if someone wasn't.

If you are not on Encore CS6, let us know.
