Cant fit as much on Idvd as on Nero on PC .Is this just a setting?

I have some avi files (they say they are DivX. They are about 30 minutes long each)
If i burn them with IDVD I can get 3 on a dvd before it says "too big"
I have a PC and thought I would try it with Nero. I got 8... yes 8 of the same 30 minute movie files on a DVD and it runs out fine on my TV DVD player complete with a menu.
Have I missed a setting in IDVD to allow me to get more on an IDVD ?
I heard on this forum that IDVD has a 2 hour limit..is this the problem?
I sure hope not.. Why would the PC software allow me over twice as much files and therefore playing time on it?
Both take about the same time to encode which is very long about 3 hours.
I dont want to use the PC as the themes are pretty low tech but look ok
Any ideas, comments or "tricks" to get more video clips on an IDVD session?
Thanks

iDVD is designed to work with DVD video stream content and will put about 2 hrs of it on a DVD in Best Quality mode. The key here is TIME.
It is NOT designed to 'pack' lower quality content onto a DVD. Roxio's Toast or Popcorn will let you do this 'packing' on a Mac.

    I had the same experience with a new iPhone 5 that I bought  last week. Did not have a chance to measure battery life before the 6.0.2 upgrade installed but I set up my phone exactly like my 4S and immediately started running out of power after short periods. Went to Xmas get together with fully charged 5 and 4S. Heading home the iPhone 5 shut down for low battery and the 4S had 65% power. Both phones had two half phone calls on then and no data usage.
    That night I fully charged the iPhone 5 and, without lighting it up, put it on my night table. Next morning I picked it up and looked at battery indicator and I had 42% charge with NO activity!
    Tried it again next night and wound up with 37% charge. (Slept longer).
    Today I called the carrier and reactivated the 4S.  Took the 5 to Apple Store and they kindly gave me choice of new replacement phone or refund. I took the refund. Uniquely, the Apple Store said it was Verizon CDMA phones that were coming back.
    The are other strings on this with temporary solutions, but from my experience with 7 firmware changes on an HTC 4G phone the problem will continue because the solution will be hardware caused. We are in the days where RTM means Rush to Market - not Release To Manufacturing.
    I fear the only solution is to either wait for the next model (I did not notice a really major change in performance over the 4S in LTE heavy Seattle area) - or switch to another manufacturer.
    It might be useful for these forums to indicate if you have a GSM or CDMA phone to see which have more problems.

  • "Cant fit into specified packet size" error when adding new metadata

    I get a  "Cant fit into specified packet size" when I add my own custom field in a different name space and use "myFile.PutXMP(meta);". The Schema example in SDK dumps RDF in separate files but I want to add a new field in the metadata of an existing file. How to expand the metadata content in the file from which metadata was read?

    Re: That garbage is unreadable.
    If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
    Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
    I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

  • When I republish my site the updates save to a different folder within public_html so it cant be viewed..... How do I change this?

    When I republish my site the updates save to a different folder within public_html so it cant be viewed..... How do I change this?
    My site is up and running but if i make changes on iWeb they get put in a new folder within the public_html folder. I then click on this and they are all showing in there but i have to manually move them to the correct folder for them to be shown on my website. The folder that is made is always named whatever I enter into the SITE NAME section on the screen where the ftp information is entered.
    How can I get the updates to go directly into the public folder without it make a new folder? I have checked the settings but there isn't much I can see.
    ALSO......
    The names of the folders come up in the domain bar... how do i change this?
    thanks
    Charlotte

  • I want to use icloud on my macbook and cant because I am using OSX10.6.8 - I want to upgrade this but I cant upgrade to mountain lion as my mac does not support this - cannot find a way to go to Version 10.7.4 which i understand supports icloud - help

    want to use icloud on my macbook and cant because I am using OSX10.6.8 - I want to upgrade this but I cant upgrade to mountain lion as my mac does not support this - cannot find a way to go to Version 10.7.4 which i understand supports icloud - help to do this please

    If you purchased Lion for your iMac, just log into the Mac App Store from your MacBook using the Apple ID under which you purchased Lion and go to the Purchases page. You will be able to download and install Lion there. 
    searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7
    The only place you get get Lion is from the Mac App Store. If you found some other site, that was an illegal copy and almost certainly tied to someone else's Apple ID and hence unusable by you. If the link was just to the Mac App Store, see above.
    As to the problem with synchronization to iCloud, that's not a 10.6 question, so I'd suggest you take up that specific issue in either the Lion or iCloud forums, providing full details, and someone there can probably help you sort things out.
    Regards.

  • HT1338 i cant find iPhoto or iMovie in my iMac ....isnt  this suppose to come preinstalled when i purchase my iMac ?

    i cant find iPhoto or iMovie in my iMac ....isnt  this suppose to come preinstalled when i purchase my iMac ?

    Did you purchase the Mac new?  Or did you install Mountain Lion and do a clean install?
    iPhoto and iMovie and Garage Band do not come with OS X.  However, they do come with a new Mac.  The first time you set up a new Mac and launch the App Store you will be prompted to enter your Apple ID and "register" iLife to it.  This lets you re-download them on any Macs you own.
    However if you do a clean install of OS X they're not installed, you'd need to go to the App Store and re-download them.
    If you purchased a Mac used, the original owner registered them and you don't have rights to them.  You'd need to purchase them on your own.

  • IDVD working till I installed 2TB ED. Keep getting message"There was an internal iDVD error during the last action. This is not a movie." Any help is appreciated.

    iMovie message "There was an internal iDVD error during the last action. This is not a movie." comes up after trying to create a movie to burn to iDVD. Recently added a 2TB external drive to free up memory from HD. iDVD was working fine till the ED was added. Can't burn DVDs anymore. Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?

    What  folders did you move to the EHD? Any of the basic Home folders?  What format is the EHD?  It should be OS X Extended (journaled).  Do you have any files that iDVD uses on the EHS, i.e. project files, media files?
