Re: AMV conversion
 

Since the DISK FULL problem happens when using AMV Convertor then the new software will not help.

I suspect that the problem is a full C: drive caused by temporary and cached files. Even though you don't install your programs on C:, many programs, including your internet browser(s) still store temporary files on C:

Try this: first clear cached and temporary files from your web browser(s). Even if you don't use it often, open MS Internet Explorer, click on TOOLS-->Internet Options-->General-->Delete Files and click OK. Then, if you have the Firefox web browser, open it, click on Tools-->Options-->Privacy-->Cache-->Clear Cache Now and click OK.

Next, close your web browser(s). For Windows 2000, click Start-->Programs-->Accessories-->System Tools-->Disk Cleanup Choose C: and click OK. Your may also want to "defragment" C: There may be more you can do to cleanup in Windows 2000 but I haven't used it in a while.

After all that is done, see how much space you have on C: If it is not at least the higher of 400MB or double the size of your AVI file, you will still likely have problems.

If you have at least 400MB (or double AVI) on C:, try AMV Converter again.

UPDATE:

[color=blue]For Windows 2000, I'd probably just download some freeware cleanup software and run that first before running AMV Converter on your PC. Maybe someone else can recommend a good cleanup tools for Windows 2000.

Vegas215.com,
This problem seems to have no actual connection to real disk space I have 52GB free space on C:Drive and run 2GB of Ram and on occasions have also had the problem but not on a consistant basis. At the moment the error does not occur however I have no idea why or what I am doing differently other than not using PocketDivxEncoder to pre-convert to .avi.

Hi tadad1
can u tell me which software ur using for converting to AVI or if possible tell me where I can get.I will try with that.

Prasanna

prasanna, Try CCleaner I have found it effective at clearing out unwanted files and have never had any problems with it. It seems to be affilliated with Yahoo so just be sure to select the "do not install Yahoo search bar" option during setup.

tadad1, thanks for the link....one more thing which software ur using for converting to AVI. Can u give me the name.

prasanna

prasanna,
I convert to AVI with DVDx which takes about 1 hour 30 minutes to convert a full length movie.

http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...ease_id=141177

Then I pass the AVI through VirtualDub and crop, resize and deinterlace which takes about 6 or 7 minutes.

Them I convert to AMV
