If there isn't enough room on your computer's hard disk, a multiplexer preparation error may appear when you try to burn a DVD.

Products Affected

iDVD

Symptom

The following message appears when you try to burn a DVD:

    "Multiplexer preparation error: Not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets."




Solution

Before burning your iDVD project, make sure there is at least 10 GB of hard disk space available on your Mac OS X startup volume. This will ensure that there is enough space for the elements of your iDVD project to be encoded into the DVD-Video format. It will also keep your hard disk from becoming completely full, which could degrade its performance.
