Burning 45 minute Video on Mac

(1) I use a Mac, and burned a 45 minute video from Timeline, (it was not rendered) and it tookapprox 10 hours to burn. I use Verbatim X16 Discs. I need to burn further videos of similar length and need to speed up the process. On the one I am working on now, I have rendered it first. If I burn directly from Timeline on my internal iDVD, will it take just as long to burn ?
(2) I have saved this file as a mpeg2 file on the computer, in your discussions you mentioned using ImgBurn software, but as far as I can tell, it will not work on a Mac.
If I were to use a different software for burning, would it be faster than burning direct from Timeline, and would it use the PE Disc Menu and Chapter Menu Markers.
I look forward to your suggestions.

Steve,
I am really confused by your reply, as when I made enquiries in 
February, as to the correct codec for 8mm Cine Film Conversion, you 
replied as follows :-
Cine is providing you an editable hi-def video, the ideal format is a 
Main Concept MPEG at 1440x1080 anamorphic 25i. This type of video 
will edit perfectly in a project set up for HDV editing. (1440x1080 
anamorphic video produces the same 16:9 as 1920x1080 square pixel 
video.)
As an alternative, they can provide a 1920x1080 25i as AVCHD -- but 
they MUST use the Sony AVC codec or you're going to have problems. 
This type of video can be edited in a project set up for Full AVCHD.
Insist on either of these specs precisely! Close isn't good enough. 
You'll know they got it right because, when you set up the project 
using the settings I discussed above, you'll have no red lines above 
the clips when you add them to the timeline.
Remember, they work for you. Do not accept anything except what you 
need, and don't let them tell you that what they're giving you is 
good enough or, worse, that it's BETTER.
Consequently, I instructed the Cine Converters to give me mpeg.
To be fair, it does work, but its the time to burn a DVD that is 
driving me to despair.
I am a convert from iMovie, as I was told that Premier Elements had 
many advantages.  From what you say, I am simply going to have to 
continue to burn all night and for many nights to come, I just hope 
my DVD Burner does not throw in the towel !

  • I am trying to burn a DVD with a 50 minute video.  I repeatedly get the message that the content is too long.  What have I done wrong??

    I am trying to burn DVD with a 50 minute video.  I repeatedly get the message that the content is to long.  What am I doing wrong??

    Is this using iDVD?
    iDVD encoding settings:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1502?viewlocale=en_US
    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)
    That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
    Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced two-pass technology to encode your video (The first pass determines which parts of the movie can be given greater compresson without quality loss and which parts can’t.  The second pass then encodes those different parts accordingly) , 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 about the time taken.
    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.

  • TS4522 Attempting to burn to DVD with no picture files I cannot get share to progress beyond 66%fon a short 2 minute video.

    I cannot get share to progress beyond 66% when trying to burn to DVD a 2 minute video without pictures or titles.

    The encoding process is probably complete but the actual burn job action hasn't initiated.
    What often works is to go to the DVD Share dialogue window and under Settings>Menu Background, click the Add button.When the next window opens hit cancel.
    To test whether it's wnow working, in your project, select a short section with the Range tool. Then share to DVD, choosing Hard Drive as Output Device.
    If that test is successful, chances are good your full project will work as well.

  • 11 minute video is 4.7 GB

    I have a 11 minute video in iMovie and when I share with iDVD or to Quick time the file is 4.7 GB. Is there a reason why this is so large. Because of this I am unable to burn it on to a DVD. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    I imported short quick time movies from my Fuji digital camera and a Flip video camera. I added titles and transition and some music. I then proceeded to share the video to iDVD. When iDVD opened up and I started to change the title then iDVD freezes. I then tried to share it through a Quick Time and then place the video into iDVD. It still freezes up. That is when I thought it was because of time size.

  • Doing a 30 minute video created 15 Gigabyte of Internet usage. Why? And how can I stop this!

    Created a small, simple 30 minute video. Burned a few CDs. Downloaded one (1) sound track (a few MB). Internet usage soared to an unbelievable 15 GB!
    All data, files, etc on my PC, yet Premiere Elements used the Internet constantly, especially when burning CDs.
    Why? There was nothing to upload or download (except 1 sound track). This maxed my Internet allowance, and has cost me a lot of cash for extra capacity.
    How can I stop this data gluttony.
    Or do I have to junk a new, expensive program? (Premiere Elements 13.

    Contacted support.
    They say that this is 'impossible'!!!
    Went for Option 2. Accept one-time waste of Internet capacity. Write it off to painful experience. Junked Premiere Elements 13.
    Problem solved.

  • How to store HD videos on Mac?

    I have acquired a Canon HF200 HD vamcorder, and I can't figure out how to manage the files on the Mac: a 1 minute video takes about 200 MB in the camcorder's flash memory, but it becomes 950 MB after importing using iMovie. That means 60 minutes = 60 GB (more or less).
    I understand that it has to be uncompressed for editing purposes, but after the editing session is finished, is there a way to stuff the genie back in the bottle? The "archive" method offered on the Mac only reduces the file size by about 30%. So how can I store these raw files in a more manageable form?
    If I copy the camcorder's memory card to the iMac HD, iMovie will not accept the AVCHD format from the HD as an input source. Does that mean I can shuffle the compressed AVCHD files to the Mac HD, but have to move them back to the camcorder's flash chip in order to import them as clips into iMovie? Tell me it isn't true!
    What am I missing?
    BTW -- Canon supplies some really poor video editing software for Windoze, but it does manage to retain the smaller file size while editing the video clips.
    thanks

    PS I posted this to iMovie '08 but didn't get any response, so I am cross posting it here

    Thanks for the reply. Sorry, but you lost me somewhere in the Disk Utility operations.
    I created a folder on my HD and dragged the AVCHD folder copied from the camcorder memory to it.
    I create a new image in DiskUtility: File>New>Blank Disk Image
    I can't find any menu items resembling "Choose size from Backup folder/create"
    I did manage to create an image whose size I could choose (can't remember what path I took to get there) but when I try in iMovie to File>import Movies, and I select the image where I dragged the AVCHD folder it wants me to select a subfolder but is not happy with any of them.
    What am I doing wrong?
    BTW it is my intention to buy a 1TB drive once I learn how to do this...

    Hi
    There are several layers to this Q
    A. There are no HD in DVD - DVD is as standard only SD-Video what ever tools used to produce it !
    iDVD or DVD-Studio Pro or Roxio Toast™ - will only make SD-Video on DVD
    B. DVD can be better or worse
    • Using "Share to iDVD" is no good way - Better is Share to Media Browser and as Large (NOT HD as result will be worse)
    • Using iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - are not tools to chose if highes quality is of importance - iMovie up to HD6 or FinalCut any version is far better as they send over all lines to iDVD and not only every second one.
    • Using Right encoder quality depending on movie and Manu duration is very important
    • Use of high quality brand of DVD - is important - I use Verbatim DVD-R
    • Type of DVD - DVD-R plays on more DVD-Players (even old ones)
    • Burn speed - I set it down to x4 - resulting in less burn errors - plays on more players
    • I secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up Mac OS hard disk as iDVD and Mac OS needs this and it can not be taked from other hard disks - has to be here.

  • I recently got a MacBook Pro and want to burn my videos taken with my iPhone to DVD. What is the easiest program for me to accomplish this? Help!

    I recently got a MacBook Pro and want to burn my videos, taken with my iPhone, to DVD. What is the easiest way for me to accomplish this? I've been told I need to download a DVD creator/burner. I've downloaded 3 different free versions, but none of them seem to recognize the video files from my iPhone. I don't need anything fancy or complicated. I just want a way to store these vidoes and be able to play them on our DVD player. Help!

    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder on your PC to /Music/ on your Mac.
    Then delete what you don't want.
    You will need to authorize yrou computer for the iTunes account yoru mother has.
    You should create & use your own iTunes account for any more purchases.
    You don't need to export anything and definitely don't need to (and shouldn't) convert anything.

  • One minute video no longer plays on my web page (but it used to!)

    I have the latest version of iWeb.
    On one of my pages I had a short one-minute video that played fine. Then I must have done something problematic, because now that video does not play when that page is opened. The video does play on my desktop iWeb (the working iWeb) but does not play on that page on the Internet.
    The video is at this URL:

    Where the video used to be, there is now a white question mark in the Quicktime icon.

    A few quick things to check -
    You are burning an SD Dvd and not an HD Dvd right?  (You can check to be sure in the Disc window/General/DVD Standard)  An HD Dvd will not play in a regular dvd player.
    If you right click on the dvd on the desk top and select Get Info, How much space does it say is used?

  • 10 hour export time for 2 minute video

    Hi,
    I am using Premiere Pro CS3 with Windows Vista.
    My laptop has 50gb of free disk space and 4gb of memory.
    I have recently purchased a new Cannon camera that records video in Mov with res 1920x1080.
    I have a six minute video clip that is 860mb in its original format. I am attempting to resize the video to 1280x720 whilst also altering the levels and changing the speed/duration to 220%. With this alteration to the speed the clips length is reduced to around 2 or 3 minutes long. I wish to export the video as a Mov, keeping it in its original format.
    When attempting to render by hitting enter on the clip, or skipping straight to exporting, I recieve an estimated time of 10 hours to complete. The exportation seems to be going ahead but only by 1 frame every 10 or 20 seconds.
    Would really appreciate any tips with where i'm going wrong with this. I'm fairly inexpiernced with premiere pro and therefore do not know if this is a problem with settings I am using or just with my computer.
    Thanks Very Much

    1st - the average laptop is going to be VERY slow for video editing (more below)
    - Laptop Video Editing PC http://forums.adobe.com/message/4578948
    - go to http://ppbm5.com/ and check the laptop results to "guesstimate" where your brand/model would place
    2nd - even a fast computer may be slow, depending on the video file and with "combined" effects
    More on why the "average" laptop is slow... plus, of course, the average laptop has a 5400rpm drive instead of 7200rpm
    Trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
    You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
    Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
    You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
    A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
    You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything
    Partition = Crash http://forums.adobe.com/thread/957286
    I find that the three drives I use work very well for me, for editing AVCHD video... some people use a 4th drive, so video INPUT files are on drive three and all OUTPUT files are on drive four... I only bought a mid-tower case instead of a full tower case (my bad... but had to fit in the space available on my office desk!) so I use the three drives that will fit
    Depending on your exact hardware (motherboard brand & model AND USB2 enclosure brand & model AND external hard drive brand & model) AND the type of video file, you may... or may NOT... be able to use an external USB2 hard drive for SD (Standard Definition) video editing

  • Burn a video to a playable DVD

    I have queried many of the folks at the Apple stores for advice in burning a video to a DVD that is playable on a DVD player for TV viewing. I don't have Apple TV and an HDMI to HDMI connector won't solve my problem if I make a video and send it to my Grandma. I just want a simple video authoring program that works. I've heard that iLife '09 and iLife '11 has iDVD,  but they have been abandoned by Apple and it is not currently the "state of art". Many of the available apps are either free or not free, but the complaints have been mostly universally negative. Is there a reliable program...as iMovie is incapable of doing what I want it to do. And, I'm unsure if Final Cut Pro X is worth the costly investment for what I want out of it. Folks have mentioned, "lemon wire", "Nero", "Burn" and the Apple store folks seem reluctant to suggest third party software names.

    There is no adequate substitute for iDVD.
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

    Having problem playing HD (1280 x 720) video on mac 2.5.1 and linux 2.5.1, bad framerates. StageVideo looks sweet.

    Brian,
    Two parts of the question.
    First, I don't know if you can use a USB stick to transfer files to the XBOX hard drive. If you can, that's cool news to me.
    Second, I have used compressor to create movies that are viewable on an xbox connected to an HD projector. Try the MPEG-4 setting, found in the Apple/Formats/MPEG-4 folder. It should work for you. If not, you can try a bunch of different settings, compress the same vid like 8 or 10 different ways, and try them all on the xbox and see which one plays. That's what I did to see what works. Just compress a 1 minute movie with a bunch of different settings. But I am pretty sure that the MPEG-4 setting works.
    Thanks,
    Ken
