Ok, so last night I had a movie burning while I was sleeping and when I got up to check it, it had said that there wasn't enough HD space to complete the project. I have a 120gb hd with only about 6gb available *right now*. Before starting the burn, I cleared some files and had about 11gb available. This isn't the first time i've burned a movie through iDvD before and I didn't have this problem in the past although I did have a little more space available (somewhere in the range of 18-20gb).

So, I guess my questions would be: How much HD space is needed to be available to burn a basic SL 4.7gb DvD (no, the movie did not take up all of the 4.7gb but it was close) and how the hell did 5gb randomly disappear from my hd?
