• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I've been transferring home movies from VHS into mp4's then editing in imovie and burning disc images with iDVD. As far as I know, I've been saving all my big files on a drive other than the main drive containing the OS (firewire external drive and other ATA internal drive). However, my main drive has filled up since I've been doing this.

Does imovie or idvd (version 5) save large hidden files or cache files onto the main drive somehow? I've searched for files by size and date modified, but nothing is showing up. What am I missing here? I'm stuck until I can find and delete these files.

Thanks!

Andrew

Found them - they were saved in the documents folder under my user. I don't know why they weren't showing up in the search though. They were idvd and imovie project files.
