DVD Plugin Temporary Storage Location

[Conrad]

I had set BeyondTV to create a DVD overnight since it was going to require transcoding. However, Windows Update forced a reboot right in the middle of the process.

Does anyone know where BTV stores its temporary files while it is preparing to create a DVD? I don't think BTV deleted those temp files after the reboot, and I'd like to do it manually.

Also, can this location be changed by the application user?

Thanks for the help,
Conrad

Found it (and sure enough, hadn't cleared the temp files after the reboot):
/Documents and Settings/<username>/Temp/Sonic1.tmp
(Does this mean that the DVD burning plugin is based on Sonic's MyDVD? Neat!)

Anyway, can that temporary location be changed for the DVD plugin alone? I'll see if a registry entry exists either for BeyondTV or for Sonic's MyDVD.

Yes, I believe the temporary location can be changed. Go into the web admin -> Settings -> DVD Burning Settings -> You can change it in the Temporary folder section.

Thanks eMpTy3000 - I feel a bit foolish for having missed that.
