407957 2005-11-26 21:40:00 When trying to copy a DVD using 1 Click DVD Copy, I get a "required compression 51%" message displayed and then my computer freezes.

I am then told that there is insufficient space on my C Drive and that I am serously low on memory.

For some reason the contents of the DVD is being held on my C drive and is not being transferred (burnt) onto the blank DVD.

This problem only started yesterday - previously, I have been able to copy DVDs without an issue.

Probably the program you are using is using C: as a temporary drive to compress the file. You don't say how much space is left on the C: drive and you hjave to know that they fill up over time unless you clean them out.
You need to clean out temporary files, temporary internet files, etc.
Also be aware that if you have restore point turned on then each time you install something it creates restore points and can take more room. My 15GB partition went from 3GB used to 12GB used just due to this. I turned it off and reclaimed the space.

The problem was resolved by replacing the older registered vesion of 1 Click DVD copy that I had been using with the latest version.

Seems that I had lost a vital .DLL file somewhere/somehow along the way :(

All is now working fine :)
