2 hour movie not fitting

Hi,
I'm on a budget so I'm still working with DVDSP3 and with Final Cut Express HD on my old Quicksilver. In the past when I've output a 2 hour movie, I've used Compressor w/o trouble. But it's been a while since I last worked at that lenth and the version of Compressor I have that was packaged with DVDSP3 doesn't seem to work with 10.4.11 or with Final Cut Express HD so I'm forced to try to do this w/o Compressor. I can't afford to buy the whole FCP Studio Suite to upgrade.
I tried bringing the video DVDSP3 and changing the bit rate in preferences to 4.6, but no go. It shows up at 5.7 gigs. Right now, I'm going to give it a try by compressing the audio in FCE to aac and then importing it into DVDSP3 for the video compression....
Is there something I'm not thinking of? Can you help me out?
Thanks!
Cindy

Thanks! Actually I've been here for years, but changed my log in info and lost my history!
Rewelcome then
Thanks for the tip on deleting the MPEG and PAR files, I will try that. When I tried compressing the audio, I got a general error, don't know why.
Was this in Final Cut?
How much does DVDSP add? I finally gave up and used a friend's brand new system to output it (current versions of all software, brand new Mac Pro). At the 120 minute "best" setting it compressed to 4.19 gigs video / 164.8 mb audio so I thought I'd be ok. But when I brought it into DVDSP, it came in at 4.8 gigs with only one start button and nothing else in the project!
DVD SP does not add alot to the DVD, though the meter can be off. Also depending on how you looked to see 4.19 it could be off. http://dvdstepbystep.com/faqs_2.php
Note some of the presets may not be accurate in Compressor - 120 Best encodes at a rate of 5 Avg., which is higher than the calculator bu a tad. Always best to tweak down a little bit to make sure it fits and visually usually not noticable.
but there are several night shots and they are very blocky looking. Plus there is a thin black horizontal line running through all the night shots about 1/2 down the screen along the horizon line.
You may need to reencode or use some Compression markers in trouble areas. (Sometimes night shots can be difficult depending on scene) Also adjusting frame controls in Compressor can help.
What was the original format (DV/HDV) and the workflow? SOmetimes quality hits can also occur earlier in the process...

  • How to fit 3 hours move into SL?

    I have 725 Mg, a single MP4 file, 3 hours movie, that I would like to make a DVD from. The iDVD is showing over 5,5 GB, and it says that it can not make one. Is there a way to squeeze into 4,7GB SL disc? I don't care if the quality is lower.
    Thanks,

    There are two ways of achieving that:
    1. Use dual-layer DVDs. These can accept up to 4 hours of video.
    2. Use Roxio Toast to burn the single-layer DVD using its 'compress-to-fit' feature. Expect quality loss.

    Possibly.
    You could test that by dropping a largish image into a test Pages document and duplicating it until your document won't send.
    Some eMail clients have ceiling levels for file sizes, as do some receiving servers.
    Also test to see if you can simply export your file to pdf, in which case it will be retained on your iPad. That would be a first step.

  • Movie does not fit preview window

    Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I cannot figure it out.
    I made a short movie clip with my iPhone 5. Imported it into iMovie (it looks perfect when I preview it from the event library) and then dragged that clip to a new project. Then when I play the video from within the project, it has been heavily cropped, ie the movie does not fit in the preview window.
    I have tried changing the aspect ratio of the project and this made no difference. I also change the setting File > Project Properties > Initial Video Placement to Fit in Frame.
    Any help appreciated.

    A lot of people who shoot video on the iPhone will hold the phone vertically oriented (portrait orientation). For shooting movies, you will get the best results when you rotate the phone 90 degrees to landscape orientation.
    iMovie will always edit in landscape orientation (long side on top and bottom, short side on the sides) because this is the way TV screens work.

    movie 115 minutes long but does not fit in idvd project?

    Hi
    There are more to this
    • Choise of encoding method
    • Choise ot theme/menu
    • What material that was used
    • Choise of encoding method
    iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
    iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    Professional Quality (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST
    Best Performances (movies + menus  less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
    High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    About double on DL DVDs.
    • Choise ot theme/menu
    Some menus can take 15 minutes or more - No Audio, No Animation and a very simple one as "Brushed Metal" - will take very little time
    • What material that was used
    Some video codecs need to be re-encoded first then encoded in iDVD - this can be problematic for iDVD and most often gives a poor result.
    So what video/audio/photo material did You use and how did You edit it and got it into iDVD ?

  • How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

    How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

    iDVD does not care about file sizes, as it compresses the file to the standard DVD format of mpeg2.
    It only cares about length i.e. max 2 hours including titles etc.
    iDVD encoding settings:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
    Short version:
    Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
    Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
    Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
    Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
    In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
    You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
    Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
    NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
    And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

  • Project will not fit

    Hi all
    I hope someone has a solution to this one. I made a movie in FCE that was over 2 hours and found out the hard way that I would need to cut it down or burn to dual layer. Well I cut, and cut, and cut and now it is 1:43 and still the program tells me that it will not fit on a single layer disc.
    Any ideas?
    Jon

    One way around the two hour (or slightly less) time limit in iDVD is to go to the "Project" menu item, click on "Project info" and change "Media type" to "8.0GB (Double layer)". Burn to a disk image and mount the .IMG file on the desktop. The resulting VIDEO_TS file will be greater than 4.3GB and too large to fit on a single layer blank DVD. The file can be compressed to fit a single layer blank DVD by using DVD2ONEX or DVDRemaster. Both programs are shareware at very nominal cost and available for evaluation on VersionTracker.com Both do a good job of preserving visual quality while compressing the size (not the length) of the VIDEO_TS file. This is a very useful workaround for those occasions when a project is too long. The "Media type" option in "Project info" only appears when you have a Superdive that can burn dual layer discs. I have an external Pioneer K05 (dual layer capable and Apple shipped/supported in Profiler) attached to my early G5 iMac. The "Media type" option disappears if I disconnect the K05. Why not just burn to a DL disc? Two reasons: the discs don't work well in some DVD players and DL discs are $2 to $3 apiece mail order.

  • It's Official BT HomeHub 3 is not fit for purpose!

    Having struggled with BT HomeHub 3 both Series A and B since April and May it is now official.  BT have completley resigned their responsablityies and promises of supplying the latest technology and lightening speeds if you use their HomeHub 3.  They will still stand by their contractual obligations over speeds but fall back on the old chesnut that speeds are dependent on other factors but only if you are using a network cable to your hub.....
    Technical Support told me in July that I would be better off getting my own hub at a cost to myself as they couldn't help me.  Recently I tried the BT hub again and speeds vary vastly from WiFi and Cable:
    Wifi:-
    Cable:-
    I contacted Technical support and they confirm that they know of the issue, but haven't told customers, but they have referred the matter to Open Reach as they are their hardware supliers.
    They knew of the issues from May 2012 so why is it now October and the issue has not been fixed.  They still advise that because of their failure I should go and buy £140 worth of my own kit to replace their sub-standard kit.
    I wonder if Trading Standards have heard of the issue and the Advertising Standards Agency have seen their 'Big Boy' Adverts?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    DavidM,
    Thanks for the offer but I have spent over 10 hours on the phone about these issues since April and have it been confirmed by second line support in India that the hubs are not fit for purpose.  I am an IT Professional myself and am probably a pain in the side for your first line as they are only script readers not IT people.  Once I had run my own tests on the hub, Db, Frequency hopping etc... I knew it was the hub and not the setup.  One of BT Support's problems is they don't support Linux.... only Windoze and Mac...  Strange as the hubs and all your routers, servers etc. use Linux but they obviously don't understand that serious computer people, generally, only use Windose to fix client's front end issues or if a client insists on it.  Anyway, second line support did understand and the issue is confirmed officially as of yesterday.  
    "Buy your own hub as ours don't work as advertised"
    There is little point in contacting you to go round the roundabout a few more times it is just that many of your customers have these issues and they are banging their heads in frustration as not all appear to suffer the issues.  OpenReach are no doubt dragging their feet on the issue as it is a very expensive mistake unless a firmware update can fix it.

  • Page does not fit on paper when printed directly to printer

    Hi experts,
    I have developed a form in transaction SFP, using A4 as the paper format for the master pages. If I print to spool and preview and print my form from spool using transaction SP01, the form prints nicely. If I print directly to printer using the generated function module for the form (setting parameter REQIMM to true), the page does not fit on the paper (it is cropped), and also I do not get duplex printing.
    Why do I get different results when printing directly to printer as opposed to printing to spool first? How can I ensure that the form is printed correctly when printing directly to printer?
    thanks!

    Did you check the window settings of the Firefox desktop shortcut to see how Firefox opens?
    Did you try to delete the current Firefox desktop shortcut and create a new shortcut?
    Use Restore or Maximize in the right-click context menu of the Taskbar icon to set focus to the Firefox application if you do not see the Firefox window.
    Open the system menu of that Firefox window via Alt+Space and see if you can move and resize that window (use the keyboard cursor keys).<br />
    If that works then first close all other open Firefox windows and then close Firefox via "File > Exit/Quit" to save that setting.

  • How to solve Audition CS6 error "The amount of audio to burn will not fit on the CD........."?

    I have a brand new PC that is MORE than adequate. I have once succeeded in burning a CD after learning all about time tracks and merging them. (made a few with only ONE track)
    Two things:
    1) I find that I must add a CD marker at the end of the WAV because Audition CS6 erases whatever is the last CD marker I've made. Very frustrating but now I know I have to do this but I have no idea WHY!!
    2) Right now I have a WAV that is just over 1 hour and 3 minutes with a total of 637.74MB of info. When I try to export/burn a CD, I get an error message stating "The amount of audio to burn will not fit.......".  I am using TDK 700MB blanks with a Pioneer Blu-ray burner.
    Obviously it will fit.
    What am I doing wrong, all of a sudden?

    Hey ryclark,
    Thanks for responding. Something else is going on here.....
    Here's what I re-replied to our friend...
    Thanks for the response.
    When I built this computer last Nov/Dec, it was built with the second 
    fastest Intel 7i, quad-core chipset on an 64-bit ASUS motherboard. It's  running
    Win 7 Pro. It has a 500GB SSD "C" drive with another 14 TB of true hard 
    drive space. It is set up with 64 bit. I had been using Audition CS3 for  many
    years and even go back to it's origin: Cool Edit and Cool Edit Pro. My 
    learning curve was minimal, sans the CD burning, which I used other software
    for  which is now antiquated, so I need Audition for this. Between this and 
    IZotope 3 I've repaired and improved many a recording. All-in-all extremely 
    useful software.
    As for the idea "to burn it anyway", well the error message comes up and 
    that's it - if I "X" out of that message and try to burn again the message
    comes  back  - so Audition will not let me. It is convinced that this file is 
    longer than it really is, but only when I add track  marks to it!
    There are only 11 tracks.
    I was able to burn a CD of this same file but without all the track marks, 
    so the same exact file length/size will burn, only as the one track.
    I've also succeeded in burning other WAV's , both greater and smaller, with
    and without multiple track marks, without issue. Of course all with less 
    than the CD's max. capacity.
    This problem seems to be with this one file. I've even  re-made/re-recorded
    the file from scratch with no change. There's something else  going on here
    that I can't put my finger on. (I am "recording" LP's and making  personal
    CDs of them)
    Also, only from time to time, I have another error after burning a CD that 
    states it could not verify the CD. For this I assume it is the blank rather
    than AA? The first might burn without issue and with the second burn I 
    get the error. It is near the end of a stack of blanks, so.....
    As for the need to "mark the end" of the file makes a lot of sense but of 
    all the other CD track-marking software I've used, none needed one to do
    this,  but this IS Adobe after all.
    You'd think there might be a smidge of intuitiveness with Adobe, but maybe 
    not.

    Firstly apologies for not providing more information.  I am indeed trying to copy a playlist which I made and successfuly copied to a blank audio CD last week.  Today I spent over one hour online looking for help and nothing that was suggested helped.  I even tried copying an 18 min playlist (a meditation CD I use) and the same message came up ... a prompt asking me if it were ok to copy onto more than one CD - and even when I agreed to that, jsut to see what happened, the process stopped there (i.e. no copying was attempted by iTunes).  I'd appreciate some insight.  Thanks
