I was unaware that a "temp" folder would be so limited. In my
experience the only limitation would be available disk space that the
folder was on.

Hmm.. I suggested the change because I thought you (OP) had just 468 MB
left on the C: drive, and you needed to point TMP file to a different
drive with more space.

"there are 468 MB available but the recording process will need 3479 MB"
