Insufficient Space?

[nexx9]

Sorry if this subject has already been covered or if I'm missing something obvious. I've looked, changed, tweaked all to no avail.

I've set up the drive to be recorded-to as a drive other than C:. It's got over 10 gig free. Whenever I try to record, I get the 'insufficient space' message and the recording stops after a few seconds; always in the 600-700 kb range.

My very first 1 hr recording worked. I haven't had any recording over 680k since, despite there being amply sufficient free space. The only thing I changed was the drive.

Resetting recording options back to C: (with 8 gig free) yeilds the same message. Both drives are NTFS and both have lots of space free. The buffer file seems to want to remain on C: (in the default docs & sets\all users etc etc), and I don't see a problem with that. I've set quality back to the original. To long play. To other bitrates. Same prob.

Scratching head. Any help appreciated. Nex

I highly doubt this is the problem, but you can take a shot at it.


Start / Run / "perfmon"
Right-click on Graph
Select "LogicalDisk" (might be numbered if you have more than 1)
Add the "Free Megabytes" counter.
Remove all other counters and set the graph height so you zoom in.

Run BeyondTV in a windowed mode and start a recording keeping an eye on the graph.

Other issues you may have: PageFile maxes out your HD while recording (not enough memory) and empties upon stopping [add a Page File counter]. TV Buffer starts filing up and eventually maxes out the HD [make timeshifting buffer smaller].

You were right, that wasn't it. BUT:

It is Fixed.

The culprit? Boclean, a trojan detector/destroyer program. Without it running everything works fine. It has an exclusion list, so I'll try that next. But thanx for your help.

The authors of the BeyondTV might want to take note of this and add it to their program's incompatibility list. Nex

Boclean's program exclusion list works fine and so does recording in BeyondTV while Boclean's running now.

All is well. Nex
