by using Pinnacle Studio and can get my movie recorded.

If C:\ is only one partition on a large hard drive divided into pieces then
get Partiotn Magic to change sizes.

Or if you have more than just drive C, change the working directory for
Pinnacle.

How large is your hard drive? How many drives/partitions do you have?
You may not even have enough space for a DVD which would require you to
purchase a second hard drive if say you only had a 5-10 GB Hard drive.
Even a 20 GB hard drive might be pushing it depending on what programs
you have installed.

You can run disk cleanup and see if you can remove anything there.
Right click on your C Drive and click Disk Cleanup. You can also
disable Hibernation support from Power Options in the Control Panel.
This will free up some space (could be a lot depending on how much
system memory you have), but you will not be able to use Hibernation
after doing this.
