AVCHD too big, what can I do?

I have a new Sony CX105 AVCHD camcorder. It shoots in MTS, so I'll hav to convert it so I can work with it (iMovie i.e) If I convert it into MOV a 46 sec movie turns into a 250 MB monster! If I were to shoot family events and vacations, let's say 2 hrs max. how do I convert to get it to fit onto a single 4.7 GB DVD. Any Ideas? Right now I'm using Voltaic.

Yea, I have a similar camera Canon HF10 that writes everything in AVCHD. With clips that under 20 minutes or its not a problem however with longer videos it is...
Unfortunately import to HDD from iMovie wont work unless u have a huge amounts of harddisk space, and i mean 150+ gigs free. Last week I shot a 1.5 hour video and even though i was able to preview it in iMovie after trying to import it (for hours and hours), i got an error saying hdd was full (i had 80gb of space free).
After lots of research the only option so far (that i found) is AVCHD videos are broken down into 1.9gb files. So you have to go into your camera and copy them manually and convert them to h264...
On my mac this took hours upon hours. However on my PC this with the "AVS4YOU" tool it was a lot and i mean a lot faster.
Anyone else have a better solution??? I would love it.

    't' and 's' in font GFS Didot don't correspond to selected font size.  't' is too small, and 's' is too big.  Can this be corrected?
    GFS Didot is nearest listed MUSE font in appearance to Adobe Caslon Pro, which is the font used in the book which the website is intended to promote.  I would like to use Adobe Caslon Pro (I paid for it and it's on my computer, but not in the cloud). Is there any way to install Adobe Caslon Pro as a MUSE font choice in the cloud?

  • ITunes library too big - what to do?

    My iTunes library is quickly approaching the 2 TB mark and filling my Time Capsule. What can I do?
    Is there a way to spread an iTunes library over multiple hard drives but have iTunes treat it as one giant library still (meaning I don't have to switch between accounts or break up the library?). I have a lot of video content and want it to work seamlessly with my original Apple TV (streaming video content over WiFi) so breaking it all up is not a good option.
    What is the best solution? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I assume you're not using the Time Capsule to store the library...I tried that once and while it works, sometimes the drive is so asleep that it doesn't access all the media right away and you get the exclamation points.
    I'm using a Drobo firewired into a Mac Mini, myself. I store the movies/TV on the Drobo, which right now is at 6TB (expandable to 10TB at least), and has its own redundancy and drive health checking. The rest is stored on the Mac Mini and Time Machine backs that up.
    I will say the best enhancement iTunes could make for folks like us is to have a default folder, but for each media type (music, movie, TV show, etc) allow you to override the default. Right now when I download a new video source, I delete the reference from the library, move the file to my Drobo, then copy it back in holding down the Option key (which overrides the auto-move when you tell it to keep your library organized).

  • I have an 2.7 GHz intel core i5 4GB RAM Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 ad is too slow what can I do?

    If I have just 2 applications opened like safari and itunes and starts being slow, When I work with photoshop it`s so frustrating, I bought this computer 'cause they recommend for design and I'm starting to prefer PC again! what can I do???

    Please carefully read Activity Monitor to read System Memory and determine how much RAM is being used and report back with what you find, you may only need to upgrade the RAM.
    However have you done any troubleshooting such as restarting in Safe Mode to clear some caches or a SMC reset or even just restarting the computer?

  • My audio levels are too low, what can I do about this?

    I'm recording my voice, and using an external mic.
    I plan on rerecording once all edits are done, but what can I do about this? I''m as close to the mic as possible. Whats my issue!?

    Check the Audio settings in Captivate.  You may need to increase the gain value.
    Is this a USB microphone?

  • My hard drive is TOO FULL - what can I delete ?

    My 60 gb. hardrive is now down to 9 gb. and I was wondering what I can safely delete off of here that I don't need. I know the obvious - photos, itunes music & podcasts, etc. But I'm wondering about aliases, etc. or anything else that just hangs around on our machines that we don't need.
    Somebody suggested diff. languages since I only speak English so I took those all out of my applications. Now I see that I get a scrambled up window in Appleworks when I've saved a document as Claris 4.0 and it opens it in Appleworks but it still opens. I DON'T want to delete ANYTHING that's going to cause me problems down the line!! I've saved all the languages I've deleted. Any ideas what I may have taken out of appleworks that causes that problem????
    Looking forward to hearing from someone !!

    You've taken action at the right time, many leave it too late. 
    You can use Monolingual (link) to remove unwanted languages.
    I wouldn't recommend deleting things manually unless you know exactly what that file is, although you can use WhatSize (link) to find large files. Items like alias are so small on disk it's a relatively pointless exercise to spend much time looking for them.
    You should consider a larger external firewire hard drive to allow you to store more data. You'll also be able to create duplicates of your valuable data.

  • Processing cube on server taking too long, what can I do?

    I have a fact table that has 22 million rows and 16 columns.
    When I process it locally in Visual Studio, it completes in a reasonable time, about 40mins.
    However when I use the Integration Catalog services and deploy the processing.
    It takes about 6 hours.
    I have now broken it into 5 partitions using a date field, each partition has about 5 million rows.
    I have changed the cube datasource connection from native to OLEDB, I read this could improve performance up to 30%.
    I also set the partition to process data.
    Yet when I try to process a single partition in my local visual studio on a remote server it is still taking a very long time.
    I even restarted the SQL server and Analysis Services to clear all the data from memory.
    At the moment it has taken 30 mins, and is only at 410, 000.
    When I log on to the server, I can see very little CPU activity, 1% SQL Server and 0% Analysis Services.
    The server only has 16GB of ram and its currently using 11GB for SQL Server and 1GB for Analysis Services.
    It is running on a Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2630 v2 2.6.
    Despite the RAM limitations, I would expect it to be able to cope with 5 million rows.
    I have even tried reducing the partition to 1.5 million rows, and still it has taken 30 mins to do 60,000 rows and maxed out the memory.
    I suppose I can keep reducing the partition size....
    Anybody got any ideas what I can do to improve the performance?
    Thanks
    Jon

    The server is set up with just a local drive.
    How do I check the IO throughput? Is it something I can get from the resource monitor on the server?
    Anybody know what is the difference of using Process full, data and index is?
    I ran the whole lot with process index and parallel setting of 4 and managed to do it in 5 mins!
    Hi JLJ1976,
    According to your description, you SQL Server Analysis Services database contain large data, the problem is that it takes long time to process the cube, what you want is reducing the process time, right?
    As your SSAS cube gets bigger, cube processing time will become a problem. We can create partition on the database so that it allows you to process multiple partitions in parallel on a server that has multiple processors. Or we can use SSIS package
    to process the database at midnight. Please refer to the links below to see the tips about reduce process time.
