Burning a Blue ray disc with vegas - ERROR MESSAGE

hello, Faith Granger here, brand new to the Forum. the VASST people suggested I post here to get help. So here I am. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I need to burn a High Def DVD in Vegas and was told to go under

"tool" - "burn disc" - "Blue Ray Disc"

and that it would burn a HIgh Def DVD to my regular DVD burner on a regular DVD.

I tested this with 15 second worth of my vegas timeline footage and it worked OK, but when I tried to do the same with my 10 min short it was a NO GO.

1- NO image file was rendered, it tried and was probably more than 60% done when it gave me an error message:

filename: STREAM/00001.m2ts
Status: TSWrapper.dll::CTS Wrapper::ProcThreadMain::IO erroe
No space left on device

Note that I checked, the image file estmated size was 2.6 GOg or so, my harddrive had about 250GIG of free space! And the DVD can fit more than 4GIG... So ????

Does anyone know what this error message means?

MEANWHILE PLEASE READ ON:

Meanwhile I also have another question. I was asked to do a Blue Ray using the 60i template (SONY) but my timeline is 24P, the footage was shot with a HVX200 at 720-24p and while rendering to that 60i template I could see horrible horizontal lines / artifacts. So I saw the other template (MPEG) has two 24p templates I could try: one has a 25 rate and the other 8.

I burned a Blue ray disc successfully using the 24p template at 8 rate, but I can tell the file is way too small to be of good quality. It was about the same size as my SD render file. So that leaves me the 25 rate option... Which is the one that gave me the weird error message.

I HAVE A DEADLINE AND RACING AGAINST THE CLOCK. Can anyone help me burn the 10 min 24p footage as a Blue Ray with Vegas, my regular DVD burner and one regular DVD.

Please walk me through it step by step.

4eyes you were CORRECT. :)

You said: "If your using 2 drives go into the preferences and assign your temporary directory to a folder on the large disk drive.

For some reason sounds like your running out of disk space maybe.
Blu-Ray burning in Vegas (as of now) uses much more disk space than the actual project file size.
"

I had already assigned the render file to a folder on my super huge X drive. What I didn't know is that Vegas needed about 5 or so GIG of free space on my C drive to do the job. What I also didn't know is that my computer tech, when he last rearranged all my many drives and consolidated them, had removed my old C drive, used my 500 GIG F drive and partitioned it, into a C drive and a F drive. On my end I could see a C drive listed. When I checked the available space left on that C drive it was now only 3 GIG. And THAT is what that message meant "device ran out of space". It did run out of space.

Ironically I figured it out all by myself while taking a short nap last week. "LIGHT BULB" went on, I got up and checked, zapped a few files and freed up about 5 GIG and then the render "almost" worked. Failed at 93%. I zapped a few more files, freed up another GIG or so and surely enough, I was in business.

I am happy to report that from that moment forward the process was, in deed, as Spot had said, a breeze. I am however not sure whether the finished DVD will play for him, since it is 24fps template. I have no means to double check so I guess we'll have to see how it goes.

Many thanks to all of you who tried to help,

PS: Wanted to add: "The rendering of the video & audio is done in your assigned "Temporary Directory" under the Vegas Preferences settings.
"

I guess that was probably set to go to a folder on my C drive, hence my problem. thanks for pointing this out, I will look into it and change the path to my X drive, that explains why it was needing space on the C drive. I need my tech to fix the partition anyway, not enough space on C regardless.
