i try to make an image of a ps2 game that is 8gb but everytime it stops at 50% and tells me there is not enough space on the disk problem is i have over 30gb of space on my hd anybody know what is wrong
I haven't really got the answer, just more info about the problem. I get the same error message. I can rip a dvd if it is an hour long, but not a two hour film. I have to do it in 2 halves. It says I am out of memory, but I have 250GB spare on my 2nd hard drive that I am saving to, so its not that. What actually runs out of memory, is the buffer, used in recording and I dont seem able to rectify it. I have dabbled with the buffer slider in the I/O tab on the settings of DVDdecrypter, but the furthest my rip ever gets is 78% Any more help greatly appreciated. Thx
This is my first post, and i have the answer to this question amazingly. The reason why you get this problem is that your hard drive is formatted as FAT32 and not NTFS. Meaning, FAT32 has a max file size of 4 gig, thus crashing out at 50% of your 8 gig file. The only way to solve this is to reformat your hard drive. Make sure you back everything up! Pay it forward!!!
Wow. Thanks. I think. hehe Ok now I just gotta back up 40Gb of stuff, and reformat the drive. Dunno when I'll get it done, but thanx
No sweat man. I found this out when I was encoding a AVI file with Adobe Premiere, and it keep crashing with the "not enough space" error. I was encoding to an external 400 gig USB2.0 Seagate Hard drive, so I knew something wasn't right. I realized after pulling out all my hair that the drive came pre-formatted as FAT32, and not NTFS. DOH! Sure enough, when i reformatted it, my 14 gig file was created by Premiere without a hiccup. I have about 1500 gigs total on all my hard drives, and decided to make convert about 3 other drives to NTFS because of this. Anywho, good luck! Now you shouldn't have "out of memory" issues when you know you have enough space! Peace!
o ok ty so are there any drawbacks to using the NTFS File System or is it jus basically the same as the FAT32 but supports bigger files?
NTFS is more stable. It was used in the Windows NT OS back when Microsoft had two types of operating systems, the consumer version which was Windows 95, 98, etc. and the 'business' operating system, Windows NT, 2000. Now we have Windows XP, and the various versions like Home, Professional etc which can use NTFS or FAT32. Bottom line: NTFS is more stable, performs better when you have more data in your hard drive than FAT32 (ie. file access times, organization, compression if you use it). I would highly strongly suggest going the NTFS route, esp if you are doing video ripping, encoding as it will be more efficient. If you want a side by side comparison go to www.ntfs.com and if i remember correctly they should have a table there. I have always put together my own systems from scratch and format to NTFS as a standard for my comps. I just forgot that when I bought the Seagate external 400gig drive, it came preformatted as FAT32! DOH! Hope this helps...
