i just installed winavi to convert files to dvd format as i am new to dvd burning but whenever i start to convert i always get a bubble saying i am running very low space on local disk. i already did all of the things they recommended me such as deleting old files n programs, deleting temporary internet files and changing the percent of space used by the system restore points lower. i already deleted all that i can, but the pop up still shows all the time. it is making my computer work really slow and sometimes i cant even work anything because of its low memory. can anyone help me or give me some tips please. i would really appreciate that. thanks

I was with you until you got here:
"fat has to be broken down in <4gb sections i think"
AFAIK, FAT32 is limited to about 4TB.
If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
