So I have this TS file I'd like to burn to a DVD. Problem is that it
checks in at about 4.4 GB and when I just click on the default TS
Compilation selection in Toast, I get an error message telling me that
it is out of memory. (It says "Could Not Record the Disk Because there
was not enough memory. Result Code =-108") I am assuming that it means
that the disk is too small. (Using a DVD-R Disk at 4.7 GB) If it is a
system memory thing, at the time I have (according to iStat on my
Dashboard) 330 MB of free memory.
How much free space is on your hard disk? Toast could be trying to load
a large propotion of the data into memory, which would require extensive
use of virtual memory, and creation of swap files on the hard drive.
If you don't have at least 2 GB of free space on your startup volume,
that could result in Toast not being able to allocate all the memory it
needs. More free space would be better.
Toast might also be trying to create a temporary disk image to hold the
entire compressed DVD, and that would require about 4.3 GB of free space
(on top of any virtual memory swap space required).
The actual size of a blank single layer DVD-R is 4.7 GB if you interpret
1 GB as 1 billion bytes (10 to the power of 9), but the file/folder
sizes reported by Finder uses "binary" gigabytes, where 1 GB =
1073741824 bytes (2 to the power of 30). In Finder's terms, the space on
a blank DVD-R is only 4.38 GB. I've confirmed in Toast by getting info
on a blank Imation DVD-R: it reports 4.38 GB, or precisely 2298496
sectors, which are 2048 bytes each, for a total capacity just over 4.7
billion bytes.
If Finder is reporting that your VIDEO_TS folder is 4.4GB, then it might
be a little too big to fit on a single layer DVD (hence Toast will need
to compress the video), but it may have just been rounded to one decimal
place and could actually be 4.38 GB or a little smaller.
