Hi,
I'm using Ulead's MovieFactory 3 SE to convert mpegs to a DVD ISO file. It's been working fine until today, when I noticed my hard drive was running out of space. I was a little puzzled as to why (I've always deleted the ISOs and mpegs after burning them) , then noticed that Ulead keeps a "scratch folder" where it appears to copy the mpegs before converting them. It doesn't delete them it seems, because there are files in the folder over a month old.
I figured I'd clean up a little, so I removed some of the older mpegs-- not all of them. Now, when I try creating a new dvd, using new mpegs, the program takes forever to convert the files. Instead of 30 minutes on a 3 GB mpeg it'll take maybe eight hours. I don't know the exact time because I quit before 15% through.
Has anyone seen this before, and short of uninstalling/reinstalling the program, is there a way to fix the problem?
