blu ray disk burning problem

Hi !
I am a guy from Denmark having aproblem for the first time burning a Blu Ray disk.
I am running Vegas Pro 10 on a laptop with windows7, and are saving everything on a external Hard drive ( 1ghz )
I have rendered the movie on Vegaspro. Then I have lots of Slides on a picture compulation.Totally my project is around 8GB.
My shooting have all been made with a Canon 5Dii.
I have previously used a Sony HC1 without any problems at all.
Beeing almost 3/4 in the process of rendering I get the following error:
"File name: Sommerferie 2012 -11.iso
Status: FS Component::CImageFile::Open::IO Error --- It failed in creating the image file. --- Der er ikke tilstrækkelig plads på disken."
In english it states that thereare not suffisiant disk place.
This is wrong as I under the various settings have directed rendering to an external disk with almost 1t- byte of disk place.
So I am a little confused as to what is wrong ???

Any sugestions ?

Best regards

bo

Often, rendering to your internal disk solves this problem. Then you can move the file to your external disk.
Also, 11GB is pretty slim for rendering 8GB of source. You should have at least twice the source, or 16GB+ free.

It sounds like it might be a FAT32 external disk formatting problem. It is common for external disks to be formatted with FAT32 because this format is compatible with both Macs and PCs. The problem is that there is a limit of 4GB for the largest file you can write with this format. If this is the problem, formatting with NTFS or EXFAT will fix it. I have been using EXFAT lately because it is compatible with both Macs and PCs and doesn't have the 4GB file size limit. Negatives with EXFAT are that it has to be done with a PC (disks formatted with EXFAT on a Mac won't read on a PC for some reason that nobody seems to understand). Also, EXFAT formatted disks are unusable with older versions of either Windows or Mac Os. With current Windows and Mac operating systems however, EXFAT is an excellent choice.
