Playblast Error
 

When I try using Playblast to record my animation Maya gives me this error

Error: could not open or create movie file

In the script editor it says

playblast -startTime 0 -endTime 30 -format movie -filename "GA_0110_ani" -forceOverwrite -clearCache 1 -viewer 1 -showOrnaments 0 -fp 4 -percent 100 -compression none -widthHeight 960 540;

// Warning: playblast requires width and height to be divisible by 4. Modifying values //
// Error: out of disk space. Deleting playblast files //
// Error: could not open or create movie file //
currentTime 0 ;

anyone know what I need to do?

Im using Maya 2008 by the way

avoiding the warning, it shows disk space error?

Are u overlooking disk space warning?

Free some space on your HDD

I have 40 gigs free on my drive

I've had that problem before, (also with plenty of disk space)..

I found that importing all the stuff into a new scene has worked for me, give it a go.

cheers,

EDIT: Could alo try moving the -percentage value down to something like 50 while your trying to error check as I have had errors with that before.

Try writing to an image sequence, and see if that works.

I dropped the percent to 55 and got it to work, but i need to it be at 100 (as that is what i am instructed to have it at for this project) and I can also do it as an image sequence but im not allowed to do it that way either.

Tried importing it to a new scene but it just messed up my key frames for some reason....any ideas on how to get it to work at 100 percent with movieplayer?

I got it to work, I had to download a new codec and then hide my UI or it would get all messed up
