Transcoding error - not enough disk space

Hello!
I've been making DVDs with Encore CS5.1 for a month now with no problems - up until yesterday. Ever since I've been getting this error for some reason:
The files I want to burn are only 961.1 MB (110.76 min) and the disk is a 4.7 GB one (120 min) so I shouldn't be having any problems normally.
I tried using different disks multiple times, tried restarting the program but to no use. For every single dick I try, the program shows:
.....Which makes no sense because the disks are empty.
I even tried building to a folder but got the exact same error! I don't get it, I really have no idea what to do
I have Windows 7, 32-bit
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4210M CPU 2.60GHz

Your 1st message says you don't have enough space on your internal hard drive... which is required since Encore creates temporary files on your hard drive before writing to a DVD

What John said, plus:
Your file is only 961, but Encore adds other files to make an authored disk, ready to burn. The Encore build panel you post says your disk size is 4700 - 2439: that is 2.261 GB. Encore temporary files can take up to 3 times the size of the project on disk.
In addition, remember that a nominally 4.7 Gigabyte DVD disk is only 4.37 Gibibytes. The 2.261 GB from Encore may actually be GiB (gibibytes rather than gigabytes), which means you have even less space than it appears - the 1.52 GB windows is reporting is probably gigabytes, which is only about 1.42 Gibibytes.
