Hi all,

Have a problem where when using iDVD 6 and 'one step dvd' function to create a DVD from camcorder footage I'm 'losing' a lot of disk space.

After a while it seems that a load of temp files end up in the trash that equal the amount of space I'm missing.

I did some poking about and found what looks like the temp file here:

/private/var/tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/_iDVD_OneStepDVD.dvdproj

..but why doesn't it get removed immediately after burning the DVD? Is there a preference I have set wrong? Or is this a known issue with iDVD 6?

I also notice that the OneStep doesn't always recognise the camera 1st time, have to quit and restart iDVD to get it going.

Thanks!
Monty
