In mythtv setup you can set aside a minimum amount of space on your myth
drive. I have mine set to 10 GB so that I have room to create dvds and
.iso files which I then move to my videos folder.
Its also possible you are creating your dvds on the partition with your
operating system and don't have room to spare. Take a look at your
/var/log directory to see how much your logs are using. You may need to
enable log rotate to keep your logs in check.
