100 GBs compressed to one DVD (Source JPEGs and 720p 60FPS)

Is it possible to compress 100 GBs of 720p 60fps (some of the vidoes where 1080p) down to one standard single sided DVD? I don't care if the quality is bad, I just need to compress it down. How do I do that? Is it possible? There are also a few JPEGs in there too.
Thanks!

So we've all pointed to editing in Premiere as the only reasonable way to do this.
So I decided to take the time to add up the duration of all the 641 clips and wow, who would have thought it would be soooo long! 16 HOURS! So with 16 hours with of video (between the two DVDs) is there any hope of getting 8 hours of video on each DVD?
My rule of thumb: 2 hours per disk okay quality; 4 hours per disk very poor, but Encore might do it. any more per disk I suspect Encore will reject a datarate that low.
Also, because I only occasionally filmed in 1080p at 30 fps, what if I deleted all those clips and just included the 1280 x 720 (59.94 fps) and 640 x 480 (59.94 fps--because they are the same frame rate would Encore be able to handle it?
You can't mix different formats on the same time line. so you had to separate them anyway. Deleting a small part of what you shot will not make this any more likely to fly.
There are only a few clips that I need to shorten duration with, other than that, all the clips are exactly how I need them to be in terms of content and length. I'm trying to avoid having to take all the time to create everything in PrmPro (also I don't know how to do that "link" function which you guys are referring to).
It is true that at this point, your only success will involve some luck. If your not lucky with Premiere, well, you're just outa luck! (All this said in a commiserating, sorta been there, kind of sympathy.) The big time issue will be transcoding. That is going to happen in either system.
Open Premiere. Import one of your clips. Drag it to the new item icon. Click on the timeline of the sequence that is created. Go to File -> Adobe Dynamic Link (or is it Export?), "Send to Encore". It will open a new Encore project with that sequence. That is all there is to "dyamic link."
Instead of that little experiment, you import all your clips to Premiere, I think separated into bins (folders) by the format. Now put them in the order you want into a sequence. I would create several sequences based on content also. So you've got let's say 8 sequences, 4 720 and 4 480. Any sequence that is less than 3 hours would make one DVD. You wouldn't even need to worry about multiple dynamic linked sequences.
Be sure you set you Encore preferences to using Adobe Media Encoder for transcoding. If you are 64 bit, it will be faster.
In Encore, set the transocode setting for the DL'd sequence to "Automatic." My suggesting is do not try to get more than 3 hours. Do any menu work. (simplest: one menu, one button to the one timeline.) Then right click on the sequence and pick transcode now.
Your only simple option for 2 disks? Forget Premiere. Pick no more than 3 hours of your 720 footage. Put that on one disk. Same for the 480.

How can I compress my movie dvds on mac and load to ipad 2?

Help? Newbie iPad2 owner and trying to figure out how to get my DVD movies compressed (on my 2009 Mac desktop) to load onto my ipad2. Curious to know not only which programs I need or what to do, but also step by step (I'm sooo confused)
thank you!!

You'll need to get an application that makes your dvd's into avi files. Google that.
Once you have AVI files then get the app for VLC on ipad. It'll come up as an app that can handle storage in itunes. Then import your avi's and you'll now have your video on your ipad.

Size of all clips in iMovie that will fit on one dvd burned by iDVD

I have a lot of iMovie clips that I'm putting into one iMovie project. I know that at some point, the clips will not fit on one dvd, and that I'll have to split it up into different iDVD burns. Is there a way to know the maximum number of iMovie clips (size in MB, I presume) that, after being sent to iDVD, will (just) fit on one dvd? Trial and error is removing a clip, saving the iMovie project, sharing to iDVD, trying to burn, being told there is not enough space, then starting over with removing another clip - that is taking too long.

Hi
on SL-single layer DVDs - about four hours on DL if Your Mac can burn them
To get even more - Roxio Toast™ - can squees in may be up to ten hours
BUT - TO a quality near not usably. Quality invers to amount of material.
also encoding method is limiting
iDVD 08 & 09 has three levels of qualities.
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality (movies up to 120 min.) - BEST
• Best Performances (movies less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above

How can you tell when your timeline has surpassed making one DVD?

Is there a way that Final Cut Express lets you know that you have passed a certain amount of space to record on one DVD?
Thanks,

There are many variables to this problem. iDVD, for instance, lets you record 1 hour of video [total] for the best quality. It also can record up to 2 hours compressing it down as needed, so you loose quality. If you are using DVD Studio Pro, you have many different compression options, and therefore, you can have different maximum lengths of time that can be recorded onto DVD. Then, there are applications like Burn* that are simple, and don't do menus, so it offers more room for video. Then, of course, you can use a Dual-Layer DVD, which doubles the capacity of a DVD, so there's more content you can burn using iDVD** (or just better quality). I'm sure others can contribute more than I did.

Why won't data merge allow more than one data source at a time?

I need to number tickets, 8 up on a tabloid page, in InDesign (CS5)
I have found out how to use data merge, but it won't allow me to select more than one data source at a time, therefore, making me use 800 sheets of paper instead of 100. That's not acceptable!! Is there a way to merge the pdfs if I make 8 different ones in the places they need to be? Each file that I export will have 100 pages, so is there a way to merge the files to put all eight tickets on each sheet, sequentially? This is driving me nuts!!!!!!!

Past users have solved this frustrating problem. You can find their solutions with a Google search like "InDesign data merge multiple sequential items on one page" without quotes.

I want to create a DVD of JPEG images

I want to create a DVD of JPEG images from multiple albums in my catalog. I am using Windows 7 and Premier Elements 11. I have not been able to insert more than one menu marker in my "video." Any suggestions?

BobHabig32453
I seldom ran across a question to which I could offer an abridged answer. Sorry about that.
There is an assortment of miscellaneous information to guide your path as to what you can and cannot do with regard to a Premiere Elements DVD Template that represent the Main Menu and Scene Menu set. The number and kind of menu markers that you place on the Timeline are linked to the Menus - Main Menu or Scene Menu depending whether you have placed a Main Menu Marker or Scene Marker on the Timeline. Again, do not put a Stop Marker at the end of the last file on the Timeline.
Each movie (in your case album) cannot have its own Scene Selection page or pages. All the Timeline scene markers representation found on the Scene Selection page or pages is there in the order that each was placed on the Timeline. There is a limited amount of space under each scene thumbnail, and you do want to avoid button overlap.
Each main menu and scene menu that came with the program is designed with a certain number of buttons per page (Main Menu page or Scene Selection page). When the number of Timeline markers exceed the number of designed in buttons per page, the buttons spill over to additional pages (each a copy of the first).
Most Main Menu pages come with Play All button, Scene Selection button, and some with Main Menu or Bonus Movie button. Most are text type buttons, fewer are thumbnail type buttons for this Main Menu. You see the thumbnail type buttons in the Scene Selection Page, and typically the maximum number there is about 6, may goes to 8 in some rare instances.
Once you introduce Stop Markers to separate the multi movie type setup, your Play Movie (Play All) button on the Main Menu is meaningless. And, the reminder, two menu markers cannot occupy the same spot on the Timeline.
Important to the project are the pixel dimensions of the photos and the duration of the content. If you are heading for DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc Standard or Widescreen, the pixel dimensions should not exceed 1000 x 750 pixel (landscape) – classical recommendation here and elsewhere. Greater than that typically does not accomplish much other than stressing out the program. The level of computer resources can often dictate whether the program stress will set in sooner or later. That 1000 x 750 which is not written in stone is close enough to the export standard and will leave some room for pans and zooms if needed. Look to the Premiere Elements burn dialog prior to burn to and look at the Quality Section’s values for Space Required and Bitrate. The DVD-R 4.7 GB/120 min is in reality 4.3 GB and the “for best results” classical recommendation is not to exceed 90 minutes for this type of disc. There is also the DVD double layer disc 8.5 GB (really 7.3 GB)/240 minutes to think about.
How does this all impact what you outlined for what you would like to do? Many thoughts on that, but for starters:
Are your photos sized properly for a NTSC or PAL DV Standard or Widescreen project? Are you heading for NTSC or PAL DVD-VIDEO Standard or Widescreen? Are you considering Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc in this regard for your Premiere Elements project.
How many albums do you envision in each of your planned DVD discs. I suspect the number is going to be in excess of 6 or 8. Here some of the considerations might be:
…switch the names of the .psd files for the main and scene menu (just the names) so that you can take advantage of the larger number of scene buttons on an already designed Scene Menu. The Timeline markers are Main Menu Markers in this instance, no Scene Markers. Result: One page Main Menu with thumbnails there displaying the first photo in each album.
…editing the .psd file for a DVD Template to add more buttons to the design. That requires strict adherence to requirements for doing that, including editing with Photoshop CS and later or a version of Photoshop Elements that will open the Layer Groups of the .psd so that you can get at the Folders and Files that you need to modify/duplicate and the like.
If you wanted text buttons instead of thumbnail buttons, you could look at a DVD Menu such as Faux Widescreen Main Menu Page and customizing that.
Not sure if long trip descriptions (text) would be feasible. I can offer a how to for creating a page for information before the main menu (like those FBI notices) if you thought that might be appropriate for any overview trip descriptions per disk. Lots of details, Lots of choices, but often with limitations and special considerations if you are restricted to what comes as is with the program.
Please review the above and then we could fine tune with more specifics.
Thanks.

Combine Several Movies on One DVD with iDVD?

I have a couple of slide shows I made in iMovie, and I have a DVD that has a video_ts file on it. Can I put the two slide shows and the video_ts movie all on one DVD as long as there is room? I so, I would need 3 menu choices. Can I do this with iDVD?

Here's how to do it with Toast 8. Insert the DVD that has the existing video (or place the VIDEO-TS folder on the desktop if it's on the hard drive rather than on a disc). Choose DVD video as the format in the Toast Video window. Choose DVD with the top button of the Toast Media Browser. Double click on what appears in the browser. You'll see a thumbnail image of each title on the source DVD (which may be only one title in your case. Select the title you want and drag it to the video window. Toast then extracts the MPEG video file from the DVD or VIDEO_TS folder and writes it to the Roxio Converted Items folder.
Now add your other videos. You probably can use the Media Browser for this as well by choosing Movies with the top button.
Arrange the titles the way you want in the Video window. Click on the thumbnail to scroll to the image you want to appear in the Toast menu. Edit the text the way you want it to appear and select the menu style and how you want the DVD to play (do you want it to go to the menu first or auto play the first title; do you want the titles to automatically play one after the other or go back to the menu).
I suggest choosing Save as Disc Image from the File menu when you think you have it the way you want. When the disc image is finished, mount it and preview it using DVD Player. If all is good, burn the disc image file using the Image File setting in the Toast Copy window. If it isn't what you want, continue to refine it in the Video window and choose Save as Disc Image again.
By the way, Toast automatically empties the Converted Items folder when quitting unless you change that in Toast Preferences. You don't want that folder emptied until you have your final DVD.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Burning two separate disks onto one dvd

I have a dvd with 1.7 gigs on it and another with 2.2 gigs. Is it possible to burn both disks onto one dvd or do I have to import them back into idvd and make a new dvd out of that?

Hi Larry
You'll lose some quality since its already been compressed but yes there is software that allows you to import back into iMovie via QT in addition to the great link Len provided above:

(end product sometimes looks like low quality VHS though)
May want to try the free demo first.
Hope this is helpful and good luck

How do I know if it will fit on one DVD?

So I am working on a DVD project (My first one) and I have about 12 movies that are about 20-25 minutes each in .avi format. The total size for all of these movies is about 3.07 GB.
How do I know if iDVD will be able to fit all of these movies on one DVD? Does it go by the 60min rule regardless of file size, or will all twelve movies be able to fit on one DVD? a DVD golds 4.7Gb of information right? So it should fit theoretically, but it is almost 3.5 hours of video.
Is there a fill bar or something within iDVD that can estimate how much space I have left for a DVD based upon the images, menus and movies I add to a project? I dont seem to find one in the iDVD project window and the Help file did not turn anything up.

The size (MB or GB) of the input files doesn't matter to iDVD. What matters is the length (in time).
iDVD renders/compresses/multiplexes your video into MPEG2 format which is the format of a playable DVD. With a single-layer DVD you can fit up to 2 hours of content (video, titles, etc.); with a dual-layer DVD you can fit up to 4 hours of material. iDVD will make choices of how to render your video depending on your quality choices in iDVD Preferences.

Exporting an Apple ProRes before compressing for SD-DVD or Blu-ray (or AVCH

Hello,
this is my question:
does exporting a sequence to an Apple ProRes Self Contained file helps to gain quality when compressing for SD-DVD or Blu-ray (or AVCH disc)?

Thanks for answering, Tom.
Let me try again, though. (Also, just thinking about the footage, forgetting about effects, titles, etc.)
Do you think that this applies to DV-NTSC and HDV sequences?
I've compared a DV-NTSC sequence exported out using:
DV-NTSC compression and one -using Apple ProRes.
They do look different. Wouldn't you agree to this?
What about HDV,
- is it erroneous to think that (when capturing) by transcoding to AIC or ProRes you are gaining some quality?
- or if you already capture HDV natively, it doesn't make a difference to export an ApplePro Res version to make a SD-DVD from?
I am concerned with this, because I shot once some HDV footage at night with a Sony Camera, going to a hard drive, and when I transcoded the files from the hard drive to use in FCP, (using MPEG streamclip) I noticed a relevant difference in how much the noise was noticeable on the HDV compressed files vs. the apple ProRes compressed files.
Have you ever seen these differences?
Thanks!!!

How to fit an iMovie project in one DVD

How can I tell if an iMovie Project will fit in one DVD using iDVD?

If it's just under 2 hours long ..it'll fit. (If it's just under 1 hour long it'll fit, and possibly appear to have slightly higher quality.)
iDVD compresses video for duration, rather than anything to do with file size.

Over 100 GBs of space on my HD is missing..

Hi,
I have a 15 inch Macbook Pro mid-2010 model(320 GB) and I seem to be missing over 100 GBs of HD space. I was getting the error "Your startup disc space is almost full" yesterday so I checked and noticed I had only 2.6 GBs of HD space left. I went into storage and noticed that over 180 GBS of space was being taken up by other.
I went through and cleared out about 6 GBs of space from my downloads and ran Omni Disc Sweeper to figure out what the heck is going on. After running ODS, it came back as that I was only using 192.7 GBs of space but my computer was saying I was using over 310!
I figured out a way to clear out about 18 more gigs of space with the HD Cleaner app and now I have 26.6 GBs of space.
I ran a program called Disc Art to see if that will tell show me where this hidden GB space is and that came back as the same thing, Im only using 168.9 of my HD space but my computer is telling me I'm using 292.3 GBs of space.
I have googled everything and I have checked all of the suggestions, it is not the time machine snapshots(I don't even have time machine turned on now), the mail duplication error, giant log file, or any of those other common problems.
I am so confused,
Here is a screen shot of the storage
I think the majority of it is coming from the Other category, but I am lost right now.
Whatever it is, seems to be gradually decreasing my hard drive space. Hopefully someone has run across something like this before.
Thanks for any help.

ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Compressing to a DVD using encore

I have a video file that is larger than 4.7gb that i want to fit onto a DVD. How can I go about compressing this, should I export it as H.264 or mp4 first from premiere to probably shrink the file and then import back into encore to burn it, to work like a normal DVD.
What are some of things that I can do, a non-profit organization needs to generate funds from the sale of these dvds, to cut cost as much, am trying to fit the product onto one dvd, as oppose having to burn two discs per sale.
Regards,
Jamaine

>video file that is larger than 4.7gb
What kind of video file is that?
1 - export from Premiere Pro as MPEG2-DVD, and import the two (video & audio) files into Encore for authoring
2 - export from PPro as (regular or widescreen, as appropriate) DV AVI and import the one file into Encore for authoring
My personal choice, so I don't have to worry about bit budgeting, is #2 - and I then have Encore do "automatic" encoding to make a "best fit" of video to disc
If your end result is larger than will fit on a single layer disc, you will need to use a dual layer disc

DVD to jpeg?

It seems photos copied to DVD before my old PBG4 went south was burned in a video format so, is there anyway to convert these to jpeg and transfer to Iphoto?
I burned these to DVD because there were about 500 photos in raw form, each one 5-10mbs.
I would hate to lose these photos although they do play like a slideshow on the disc.
I'd REALLY appreciate some help

How did you burn the photos to the DVD disk? If you exported the photos to a folder on your HD and then burned that folder to disk they should be in the same format as they were exported in.
If you burned them to disk directly from iPhoto using the Share->Burn menu option they will have been burned to a mini library on the disk which can be mounted in iPhoto to copy back to the library when needed. They will be in their original format but nearly impossible to locate and use via the Finder. This method is for use with iPhoto.
If you used the Share->Send to iDVD option and burned them to disk in an iDVD project then the best you can do is get 640 x 480 screenshots of each photo using a screenshot application. However, if you selected the option in iDVD to add the still photos to the DVD ROM you should be able to open the disk in the Finder and located the jpg files in the ROM portion of the disk.
If you can describe exactly how you got the photos burned on the disk we can go from there.

Burning multiple movies to one DVD

I want to burn 8 short movies to one DVD. Do I have to use a DVD RW or is there a way to burn all 8 to a DVD-R?

You probably only have a single-layer drive so you
will be limited to a maximum playing time of about
120 minutes in Best Quality mode. We recommend
Verbatim or Maxell DVD-R for single-layer discs.
BTW, iDVD compresses everything to mpg-2 so the
playing time of your content in minutes is the
important factor - the size of your original files in
MB doesn't come into play.
F Shippey
thanks for the tip on type of DVD, but my immediate problem is that when I burn to a DVD, I can only do one movie. I am looking for a way to select all of them vs 1 at a time. I tried the advanced & edit DVD contents but I still have the problem that the program will only burn one movie at a time & then because it is DVD-R, I can't add another. I need to be able to put all 8 on at once (or at least one after another). Is there a way to "combine" them for burning?
