over estimating export file size bug

PostMon May 28, 2018 12:04 am

so i am currently using resolve 14 and have ran into a really annoying issue, any time i go to export anything i find the file sizes estimates are massively over blown, today i was exporting a 8 minute long clip that was shot on a phone and it kept saying "space after export 105%" from 80% free, that would make the exported video file about 60gb, but when i render out, the end video is about 1.1gb as i expected, the most annoying part is it will error or refuse to render at all if it think there won't be enough space meaning im having to render out in a lower resolution, or it will render then error, the error i get is the "recording failed with error failed to encode the video frame", i'm only exporting in mp4.

Can you detail which mp4 codec, the resolution, frame rate and the disk drive info?
