Yeah, I saw that. It was about 36G, and I removed it. Still the harddisk |
| 18 |
remained full. What I did not take into account was that that file was still |
| 19 |
open. So it didn't get erased from the harddrive. Logging out and in again |
| 20 |
solved the problem. |

On the other hand, this kind of behaviour makes avidemux unusable. |
