Blu-Ray not enough space to prepare image

Keep getting this message even though I still have nearly 40Gb free? How much free space do you need to prepare a Blu-Ray? Project says disc space used is 21.8 GB

Hi,
At least double the size of your project if your using only one drive.
If you can put your assigned temporary folder to a large NTFS drive helps or put the Prepare folder on another drive. I noticed the program first prepares a BDMV disk in your assigned temporary folder for Architect 5. Then uses that to write an ISO image file.

So that means at least double the size of your project & also remember that windows reserves a little also.

Thanks for clearing that up. WOW....Blu-Ray brings a whole new set of storage and backup challenges with it. I was getting low on space and having to start juggling (on a 1Tb system). Got a new 1 Tb drive coming today which should get me going.
