If you run out of space while transcoding your job will exit and probably without a proper error code. There is a setting in mythtv-setup to set aside a certain amount of space in your storage that mythtv will leave there and auto-expire programs once that threshold is met. I leave 10GB on each of my drives so I know I have room to rip a DVD and not completely fill it up before it has time to (slow) delete the required space.</div><div><br></div><div>Of course the better option is a new hard drive.
