Additional hard drive space being used during conversion
Posted: Mon Jul 18, 2016 2:44 am
A friend of a friend suggested I use MakeMKV as an option to help digitize my DVD collection to free up physical space in my place. So far it's definitely an easy program to use, but I've noticed after converting a disc with approximately 4 files totaling in size about 7-8gb (not unexpected), the amount of free space on my hard drive actually goes down by about 12-14gb (or more). I'm not super tech oriented, but is there maybe a temp file, or some kind of duplication that needs to be cleared out to make the free space reduction match the actual output?
I'm using the program on a computer that doesn't have any other programs and I'm not using it for any data intensive programs.
Apologies if this question has already been asked and answered in a previous topic, I did a search and didn't see an answer.
Any ideas would be appreciated, and thanks in advance!
