    I have been transferring my old VHS holiday videos to DVD..The transfer is great. My problem is that once I have finished editing and burning, I cannot find where the files are. I have located 2 places already;1 as an "NVE Capture"; the other by searching for the file name I gave the transfer during editing. I thought by deleting these, my hard drive would be as empty as it was before the transfer.What I have really discovered is that my "C" drive is not back to what it was; after transferring 2 vhs tapes (of 2 hours each) that my "C" drive goes from 90% free to around 6% free. I have an additional drive (F) but it is not stored there either. Any help would be much appreciated. Thx.

    What program are you using, most have an option where you pick the temp working folder.

    I transfer from a JVC vcr through a Panasonic digital camera to Nero 6.6.0.18 edition...The video is stored in desktop/my docs/nerovision/captured video (saved as NVE CAPTURE).When using the "search" , I find the other file in c:doc's and settings as the name I saved it as when editing in NERO.I have done some further checking and found that I have 2 "Recycle bins"..Neither of which are on the desktop nor are they to be found by using the search function; however, if I right click on the desktop,go to properties,click on desktop tab, click on customize desktop, the next screen shows 2 recycle bins and one says full, the other says empty..This may be the root of my problem but now I don't know how to access these "hidden" recycle bins to empty them.This may be a result of my using Windows 2000 initially and then upgrading to Windows XP recently. In answer to your question, Nero has never asked me where to store the transferred video; it always places it as described above.

    Dont worry about that, the reason you see 2 recylse bins is because it is showing how it will look when it is full and when it is empty.

    The fact that no recycling bin shows up, is a porblem, so try this to restore it.

    Go to Start < Run < Type regedit
    Find [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\

    Click Edit < New < Key Then paste {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} and hit enter. Restart.
