6GB data won't fit on 8GB dvd, help?

I have a project which altogether contains around 6GB of data (which should fit as i'm using double-layer) however when i go to burn, it says the project will be 41GB. Can somebody help me?

Hi
iDVD doesn't care about Gbs at all - ONLY time and this is two parts
• Movie time
• Menu time
I have 500Mb movies that do not fit on a SL-DVD and 50Gb movies that fit's nicely.
iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
• Best Performances
(movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
About double on DL DVDs.

E-mail won't fit the screen, anyone help?

Hey all-
I just "upgraded" (sorry, frustrated with this issue) my Curve to the 9350 and for every e-mail I receive I have to scroll left and right to be able to view the whole e-mail or use the zoom feature on every e-mail to make it fit the screen.
Is there a way to have the Curve do this automatically so that I don't have to scroll four directions but just up and down? My old Curve didn't have this issue.
Thanks a ton in advance,
Brad

Hi PurdueBrad,
Welcome to the support community!
Can you please check and tell me what size the font is set to on your BlackBerry Curve 9350 smartphone? You can find this setting in Options > Display > Screen Display. Does changing the font size make any difference in the message display?
I look forward to your response.

DVD burning won't fit

Hi!
I'm trying to burn an archive DVD from iPhoto.
I have a smart album of 4.3 GB, and it won't fit. Thing is, it says that it's 6.8 GB. Basically, the info window when the album is selected shows 4.3 GB, th burn pop-up pane shows 6.8, and they both show the same amount of pictures.
When I select the entire library, the info window shows 5.8, and the burn shows 7.4.
What gives?

I think it's possible that when you want to burn a DVD archive, iPhoto probably keeps your library intact and wants to include thumbnails, all originals and modified photos.
The info window in iPhoto usually shows the total disk space occupied by the photos you're looking at, so that would include unmodified originals + the modified photos, but not the originals of the modified photos.
If you only want to save in the current state, you can drag the photos out to the burn folder or DVD icon and you will get the viewed photos (some will be originals if you've never edited them, the rest will be modified photos) but you won't be able to revert a photo to original later on.
I've not done this recently, so see if you can verify this yourself - try a smaller archive and see if all originals and modified photos are retained. I think they would be.

Project won't fit on DVD disc?

Hello,
Just wondering if anyone can help me please?
I videoed my niece's wedding which was in the avchd format. I've now compiled the video for her which is 51mins 52 seconds long with quit a few effects/transitions in, but when I go to Share/Disc the bitrate is 5.89mbps when fitting to a DVD disc (4.37GB), apparently it needs 5.93GB of disc space for it to burn in the best quality (8mbps) in SD.
So my question is, is there a way that I can burn this project to a standard DVD disc as it is without losing SD quality, unfortunately BD isn't an option at this time?
I'm currently using APE 7.
Thankyou

Well, you are going from HD to SD, and there are two good ways to do that:
Follow Jeff Bellune's HD2SD TUTORIAL, using freeware to down-rez the material.
From PrE, Export/Share your Project to DV-AVI. Then Import that into a DV Project for the authoring.
Personally, I like John T's rec. to use DL (8.5GB) blank media, and I always ONLY use Verbatim DL's - DVD-9's.
If you still have problems with the size, and do not want to go much lower in the Bit-Rate, you might be able to "squeeze" the files a bit, with a program, like DVD Squeeze. To do that, you would choose the DVD-9/DL option, but then Burn to Folder. With DVD Squeeze, you would then process the resultant VIDEO_TS folder with the IFO, BUP and mainly the VOB files. You might be able to keep a good Bit-Rate, and get the size down to fit onto a DVD-5 (4.7GB).
Any DVD player with the "DVD" logo, is certified to play both DVD-5's, and DVD-9's, but with one big caveat - no DVD player is certified to play ANY burned DVD, though most do just fine. A few, mostly older ones, balk at any burned DVD-9's, but are certified to play all replicated DVD-9's. Most titles from Hollywood are replicated onto DVD-9 discs.
Good luck,

One hour 25 minutes won't fit on a single layer

Hey People,
Using Toast 7, I get the error that 1:25 min. won't fit on a single layer Verbatim. ???
It is an export from FCE with lots of editing if that makes a difference.
iDVD is not much use; it spits out blank disks during multiplexing stage but pretends to keep burning,
a common problem I know but I have never been able to fix it.
Thanks for any insight,
Al

Hi
This is my notes on first part - From FC to iDVD (or Toast™)
FCE/P to iDVD
Several things
• How to go from FCE/P to iDVD
• Free space on Start-up hard disk
• Encoding
• Brand and type of DVDs used
• Burn speed set
• iDVD BUG
• Chapters
How to go from FCE/P to iDVD I do
• Disable Screen and Energy saver
• IMPORTANT --> FIRST in FinalCut - Mix Down Audio under Sequence Menu / Render Only / Mix-down
• Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
• Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
• Not as Self-Contained (not important but saves time and space)
• NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)
This QT.mov file I import into iDVD from within iDVD.
Free space on Start-up hard disk
I set a minimum of 25GB (for Mac OS and iDVDs temp files)
Encoding
• I use Pro Quality encoding
Brand and type of DVDs used
• I use Verbatim
• I use DVD-R
Burn speed set
• I set down this to x4 (or x1)
iDVD BUG
• One can not go back to movie-project for any alterations and then go back to
the iDVD project. It will notice and ask You to either Up-date or Cancel. Neither
of them will work.
Medicine - Start a brand new iDVD project.
Use of Chapters
• I only use a to z and 0 to 9 in naming them. NO other symbol/letter !
• NO Chapter-mark at very beginning - iDVD NEEDS TO set this by it self
• No Chapter marks in or within two seconds from a transition
(Way around this last one - Export movie as QT full quality and NO Chapter marks
Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
them except at very beginning - still)
Material used to build movie
• video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this e.g. .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
• audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
• photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
Trash iDVD pref. file and run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.
from post ??
May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screen-saving

How to fit video to DVD-5?

Hi: I have been reading the faqs and forums, and pulling info from a variety of sources, but I am still confussed about how to fit my video to a DVd-5 using Encore. I have previsouly made DVds using Encore 1 & 2.0, so I know the process. But those were smaller projects under 1 hour running time. My current project is approaching 100 minutes for the main feature with small extras, and some basic menus.
I have read that I should be able to fit 110-130 minutes max on a DVD-5. I have also read to realistically expect something closer to 60-75 minutes. Which is it?
My footage is sport oriented so their is movement and & action, lots of transitions, & some composting.
Can someone tell me how do I fit 100 minutes to DVD-5, if that is possible?
I am editing my feature in PPro 1.5. I export 5-10 minute segments as DV AVI files, and then color adjust etc in AE 7.0., which I have been saving as Microsoft DV. I was planning on final assembly of all segments in AE 7.0, & export the whole feature from AE 7.0 as Microsfot DV. But I think this makes my feature file too big and it won;t fit to DVD-5. Is there another codec I should be using for final output to Encore?
What if I assembled in PPro 1.5 and exported to AE for final color. Is there a different codec I should be using to help it fit later on?
Also, I usually leave Encore set to automatic transcode and let it figure whats best. Should I be picking soemthing different?
Thanks and sorry if this has been cover before

IDVD burned discs won't play on any dvd player

When I burn a dvd using Idvd they will not play on standard dvd players.
Is this a problem with anyone else?
I noticed it was a problem in the early 2000-2003 but apparently something got fixed, because I couldn't find an incident where this problem continued to occur.
I am new to the Mac world and I don't always understand the acronymns used when I read responses. However, here is my problem.
Burning dvd's using Idvd:
1. the burn seems to run and function normally
2. when I insert the burned dvd into a dvd player one of the following things occur:
a) loading takes a very long time, then I get a message saying "wrong disc"
b) loading occurs fast, reads the file as a dvd, the dvd begins playing the music and showing the main menu screen, after accessing a menu option the dvd begins to play the slideshow with the music then after a minute or two, it freezes, and is no longer readable when attempting to reload it, the message is "wrong disc"
3. I've tried using dvd-r, dvd+r, dvd+r dual layer, and changing the burn speed to 8x, then to 4x and then to 2x. Nothing seems to matter.
4. I have noticed that in Idvd the dvd type is for an older version of dvd's such as single layer 4.2 gb and double layer 7.7 gb. I'm wondering whether the Idvd software on my MacMini is up to date, even though when I check for updates under the apple it comes back saying my system is up to date.
I'm using a MacMini running Mac OSX v 10.6.8 with processor 2.26ghz, Intel core 2 duo, memory 2gb 1067 mhz ddr3, and my dvd drive is a pioneer dvd-rw dvrts08, firmware q81f.
I really need help to fix the problem with the IDVD software or to know that I need to purchase another DVD maker software for my Mac. The product below says my Mac is running OS X v 10.7.2 but it isn't it is running v 10.6.8 as I stated.
URGENT!!!!

My macmini is under 2 years old. I reviewed your list of affects and I am going down the list to determine possible cause and effect.
I did try the PRAM process. The DVD still won't play on my DVD player but it did play on my son's Sony blue ray. I burned it at 2x burn rate after the PRAM process completed.
I can assume that's progress. The audio did however skip a couple of times while playing. That is new.
I will continue down the list using different type of blank dvd's etc.
Question: As I was reading through some other issues I'm learning that Mac/Apple is discontinuing IDVD, is that correct?
Are you aware of some other software to purchase that will create dvd's on the mac? If so, I may as well go that route rather than wasting more time using a defunct product. What is your opinion?

IMac can't/won't boot from Leopard DVD

My 1GHz G4 iMac can't or won't boot from the DVD, although I know the media is good.
I get stuck on the grey screen, the rotating bug stops rotating after about 5 minutes.
It will still boot from the hard disk fine, and will boot with other DVDs as well. Hardware diagnostics check out fine.
I did try single user mode, it will get there OK.
Verbose mode spits out a lot of messages (who knew? - lol), but nothing that seems to point to any one issue. It too stops spitting out messages after about 10 minutes.
Any ideas?

I did try the clicking the mouse thing just for the heck of it... no joy.
I do see a few other threads like this one, so I'm not alone on this.
The error messages I see are (not going to type them out all the way):
launchd[1]: Failed to count the number of files in /System/Library/StartupItems no such file or directory
Then a bunch of mDNSResponder errors, also saying either no such file/directory or invalid destination port.
Then a message saying Folder Manager is being asked to create a folder (cach) while running as uid 0
Then Cannot use ATS Persistent Store - switching to old FODB cache code
kextd[47]: root filesystem is read-only; skipping kernel link data generation
followed by a couple of errors from configdp[41]
Then nothing....
Still stuck...

T420 - fan repaired, but now the SD card won't fit into slot

I'm going to post a couple of the current issues my daughter, freshman ID student is having with her brand new t420 laptop. Here's this one...
My daughter had issues with a very noisy fan. She had it fixed, and I'm not sure what they did. However, now her SD card won't fit into the SD slot (which it used to do). Any ideas on what might be wrong?
Thanks!!
Linda
Solved!
Go to Solution.

@Linda,
Did it get stuck when putting the SD card in? If the SD card is inserted correctly but can't fit in properly then I would suggest to send it support for them to check.

TS1362 My blank cd says 80 min. or 700 MB. Playlist in Itunes says 1.6 hrs., 213 MB. It won't burn, itunes says it won't fit onto cd. What's up with this?

I don't understand why itunes won't burn my playlist to a blank CD. CD-R says 80 min, or 700 MB. Playlist shows 176 MB, 25 songs, 1.3 hrs. I don't understand why it won't fit onto one CD.

If you are burning an audio CD, use the time/length of the playlist.
If you are burning and MP3/data CD, use teh size (MB) of the playlist.
Note that there needs to be room for directories and other info on teh disc which will nto be displayed in teh size of the playlist.
The disc may hold 80 minutes but a playlist of 80 minutes will not fit.
Usually, you can get ~70 minutes max.

Hi guys I'm really in need of some help. I have an IMac I3 for a while now I've been having a problem of my machine refusing it shut down , it goes to a blue screen with a spinning wheel but doesn't shut down. And now won't boot from install DvD

Please some one help me ...
A) my mac won't shut down with external HD connected (if it's been used)
B) there are disk permissions that can't be fixed SUID stuff ..
C) I have now verified the Mac HD and it tells me it's corrupt in bold red writing and to start up from install DVD
D) it won't boot from DVD so I cannot run the repair , initially the machine was spitting it out on start up , now it appears to be attempting to boot off DVD , well it sounds like it is .... BUT it's hanging with the Mac Logo and a wheel ... For um .... 30min now...
E) weirdly when OSX is booted off the hard drive , it won't recognise the Install DvD or the applications one... It just spits them out....
I had an old PPC 17" and it was a beaut .... Never had a single problem with it ...
I bought this one December 2010 and it's been nothing but issues for a computer in excess of £1000 I'm extremely disappointed ... And weirdly the shutting down issue started when it was a week out of warrantee ... I feel conned and am almost at the point of throwing it at a wall and buying a PC

Ok so I've done what you said and this is what it's come back ....
I don't know that these are the errors , but they're the things which don't look right ...
Throughout the shut down there is a recurring line ;
It says ;
Com.apple.launchd 1 0x100600e70.anonymous.unmount 301 PID still valid
Then there are 2 more which I think are related ;
Com.apple.securityd 29 PID job has I overstayed its welcome , forcing removal.
Then the same with fseventd 48 and diskarbitrationd 13
Oh and on Launchd1 : System : stray anonymous job at shut down : PID 301 PPID13 PGID 13 unmount...
Then the last process says "about to call: reboot (RB_AUTOBOOT).
Continuing...
And stops ...
Hope this means something to you ... Thanks again for your help so far :-)

How do I delete duplicate songs in my iTunes? I have hundreds and I don't want to delete them one by one. They were all added on the same date, so sorting by the date won't help.

How do I delete duplicate songs in my iTunes? I have hundreds and I don't want to delete them one by one. They were all added on the same date, so sorting by the date won't help.

Hi, if this is in regards to your library simply open up itunes and do the following steps:
Click File
Scroll down to "show duplicates"
A list will then appear of your duplicate song titles.
Be sure to CAREFULLY review each song to make sure it is a duplicate ( as I have some music that is the same song but live, acoustic etc...)
Proceed to manually delete each song from the list and leave alone any song that you wish to keep.
Best of luck,
Cait

I just bought a MBA and I need to move my photos and itunes to an external hard drive (from my old MacBook Pro) because they won't fit on the Air. I got the photos moved fine and I followed an online tutorial to move the necessary files for itunes, but it didn't work. The files copied fine, but when I tell iTunes on the Air to look at the external drive for the library, it doesn't find anything. What I copied was the entire iTunes Media folder. So, how do I move the necessary iTunes files from my old Pro to a external drive so I can access them from my new Air? Whew!

iTunes- How to move the library to an EHD
After you move the library you need to open iTunes by first depressing the OPTION key then launching iTunes. You will be given a choice of which library to use. This can then be made a permanent change, if you wish, in the Advanced section of iTunes preferences.
