Compress a video file to 10 Mo Maximum

Hi everybody,
I have to send a video file who last 16 minutes on a website of a society who protects authors, and they don't allow more than 10 Mo.
I work on iMac OS X 10.9.2.
My original file exported from Final Cut X Pro in H.264 weights 1,49 Go.
Compressing the file by clicking on it in the finder doesn't change the weight.
And the exports in low quality from Final Cut Pro X or Compressor doesn't go below 100Mo. Unless I do the operation several times and we can't see anything when we read the file !
This is urgent ! What do I have to do ??
Thank you for your answers

ahhh - I see: that service, e-dpo.com in your link is meant to create a sort of ©opyright! ... by documenting you did deposit your work to a specific time/date... they offer 'snail-mail' to send in usb-sticks and other media; the online service is limited to 10MB, indeed - meant for example to upload scripts, docs, photos, not complete movies...
In Europe, there's very little need for such a service, due to the 'Urheberrecht' = sorry for using the German term, but 'copyright' is something (completely…) different - there's no copyright in Europe, just Urheber- and Nutzungsrechte (and Aufführungsrechte - a speciality in Germany) ... again, I'm lacking skills to  speak lawyer-lingo in a foreign language. This is 'permitted' automatically to the author ... euro-continental law differs dramatically from US-law (here: the artist is protected, there: publisher is protected, art vs. business - diff. history results this)

Any lawyer can 'proof' the timestamp of your work ... no need to use such a ... service. Or any 'official' person, a major, a priest ... (!!)
In theory, any publication proofs it ... unfortunately, when you use services as youtube/vimeo/et al you usually give away copyrights, not Urheberrecht, which can not transferred/sold ...
complex issue ...

  • Can someone help me with compression of video files?

    I am trying to compress some videos to put on my iPod video. I run them through QuickTime Pro 7 or whatever the latest one is, and I compress the file using the "movie to iPod" preset. When it finishes, it gives me the original .mov file which is huge still, and this other file that is about 1MB. then if I try to throw away the original file, the new one will not play. Why is isnt it just giving me a smaller file of the movie after compression?? I dont understand whats going on. If I wanted to put a movie on my iPod, do I have to keep the original file which is like 20GB? It doesnt seem right. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!
    Thanks

    It should be part of the "save as" dialogue.
    (Hinted streaming is an elephant.)
    P.S. Try the QuickTime forum if you can't get it to work.

  • Compressing large video files on to a dvd

    How can I put 10 GB of raw video footage on a 4.7 GB dvd? What kind of compression would I use to keep good quality?

    As pointed out, if you want a video DVD, then use 90 Minutes Best, and you will want to compress your audio to an AC3 file. Then you have to bring both into DVD SP to actually author a disc. You cannot just files on a disc to create a video DVD.
    If you want to send files to someone else so they can edit the video, then you do not want to compress the video at all. If you compress the files, then someone edits it and then compresses again (to DVD, web, etc.) then the video will be double compressed. This always results in the loss of quality. Never compress video you want to edit, only compress the final output.
    That being said your file will not fit on a DVD. Two choices, use a portable hard drive, or use Toast to automatically segment the video onto as many discs as needed. The person who you give the discs to (Mac or PC) can then re-combine the segments on their hard drive using a program that is automatically burned onto the discs.

  • More then 2hrs to compresse 60minutes VIDEO file in MPEG 2 DVD BEST QUALITY

    On my Dual 2.5 GHz 4GB RAM, is this normal ?

    It took 3h30 minutes. Will I see a difference using DVD Fastest Encode ? For exemple, can it be possible to have a problem like the DVD freezing in some DVD player because I'm using a faster Encoding setting like DVD Fastest ?
    This is my workflow for now:
    -Export from FCP, AUDIO ONLY current settings, self contained.
    -Export from FCP, VIDEO ONLY current settings, self contained.
    -Import to Compresor the self contained files and compress the audio file using Dolby 2.0 before sending to DVDSP.
    -Import to Compresor the self contained video file and compress using DVD Best quality MPEG2 2-pass before sending to DVDSP.
    I do NOT export from FCP directly to Compressor.

  • Compressing large video files to MPEG4

    I am creating long HD video files (10 hrs long) in FCP that I want to compress to MPEG4 with AAC audio. My iMac handles the files easily but the compression time in Compressor is obviously outrageous. Can anyone tell me how compression times would compare with a Mac Pro dual processor 2.66GHz Intel Xeon X5650 "Westmere" CPUs?

    FYI - My iMac is a 2.33 MHz with 2 GB Ram and 1TB HD

  • Compressing large video files - help!

    I have about 114GB of video files on my hard drive, and with only 250GB of HD I was wondering how I can compress the files and not lose quality. Is there any software out there, preferably free, or is using the built-in compression option the best?

    Hi gaz_reid;
    It is now time for you to decide to either get rid of some files or get a more disk space with an external hard drive or larger internal drive.

  • Best way to compress a video file for burning a Bluray disc?

    I just got an OWC Mercury Pro external Bluray burner that came bundled with Roxio Toast 11 Titanium.  I'm editing with
    FCP6 as part of FCS2 and my version of Compressor is 3.0.5 so no "Share to Bluray" template is part
    of the default options.
    The default Compressor options are:
    DVCProHD 720p24     (the footage was shot and edited using this codec)
    HD DVD H.264 60 minutes
    HD uncompressed 8-bit or 10-bit
    I've also considered exporting a Quicktime .MOV file and letting Toast do the compressing.
    Thanks for your help!

    I feared you might come back and mention juddering. Is this more noticeable when panning?
    Are you observing this from your Bluray burner into your Mac, or through a Bluray Player into a TV?
    If from Bluray Player/TV then you may have to select the Motion Interpolation mode on your TV.
    From Wikipedia
    Names of motion enhancement technologies
    The commercial name given to motion interpolation technology varies across manufacturers, as does its implementation.

    Vizio – SmoothMotion [11]
    Sceptre – MEMC (Motion Estimation/Motion Compensation)
    I play around with HDV which is Interlaced , you are dealing with Progressive.
    If I maintain the workflow as Interlaced then I do not get judder for Bluray via Toast, irrespective of Motion Interpolation ON or OFF.
    If I export/Share in a Progressive mode , say 1080P AIC, then the only way to stop judder is to select Motion Interpolation on the TV.
    Also I find that Progressive gives a slight grainy texture to the video which may be what some call 'FILM LIKE"
    but I am not a fan of it's appearance.
    As I maintain Interlacing in all that I do then I do not have to worry about what my TV is set to and more importantly nor that of any friends that  I happen to do Discs for.(not very often)
    I have also played around in ensuring that I am judder free for any DVDs that I do.
    The following give me judder free DVD for TV set to Motion Interpolation OFF .
    DV interlaced into iDVD
    HDV interlaced into iMovie (converted into AIC on import) Shared as AIC 1080i (size 1920x 1080 HD) then into Compressor-DVD Best quality and then into Toast for burning DVD.
    I can of course use HDV in iMovie but the export used for use  in iDVD will give me judder if the TV Motion Interpolation is set to OFF but no judder if set to ON. And, strangely, exactly the same for iMovie HD 6 .
    Is it possible that the majority of people who are satisfied with their iDVD videos  have their Motion Interpolation set to ON and those that are not satisfied have their Motion Interpolation set to OFF ?
    Are you able to experiment with any Interlaced footage? Can your camcorder be set to record Interlaced.If so then you may be able to establish whether or not the issue is down to Interlaced versus Progressive.
    Not trying to rub salt in the wound,( but trying to give you encouragement ) but it is possible to produce really good quality DVDs and Bluray.
    Would be interested to know how you get on.

  • How do I compress a video file so I can send it via email?

    I am trying to email a slideshow I just created in iPhoto.  My email won't accept the file because it is too large.  I tried to compress by right clicking on the file in the Finder application.  It gives me the option to compress it so I said yes.  It appears to have compressed it but it is still the same size and I can't email it.  What  am I doing wrong?  What do I need to do this?  I know people compress files all the time to send them. 

    You didn't say how long the slideshow is.
    FCPX has a preset which, at its smallest, downsizes the resolution to 240p. But a very long video might still not be small enough.
    So how long is it?

  • Compressing Digital Video Files

    Does anyone have any suggestions to compress the original DV files in iMovie? I would like to save all of original imports in case I would like to edit them for a separate project in the future, but I need to conserve hard drive space. Thanks.

    The problem with compressing is uncompressing later for edit. The two cheapest ways to save video is to 1) export back onto DV tape, or 2) save the movie on DVD using iDVD and then buying a product called DVDxDV ($25) which can extract the video from the DVD.
    I just bought DVDxDV and was pleasant surprised to see it extract a movie made with iMovie/iDVD back into a full DV/Quicktime movie. I had a customer who needed to delete a few minutes from a DVD I made from her VHS tape but I had trashed my work files. DVDxDV saved me having to start over and redigitize her original VHS tape.
    A third option is to buy another hard drive. On Black Friday, I bought a Western Digital terabyte drive for $200. I can remember when a 500 megabyte drive sold for $500. Ah, the good old days.

  • Compressing large video files in QT Pro

    Hello,
    I've been recording videos with my Kodak Zi8 camera set to 1080p, as I figured it's easier to scale down later than to scale up. As a result, I have some .MOV files that are 4 GB for 90 minutes long and consist of 1920 x 1080 video in H.264 format with AAC audio. What is the best way to edit such a video so that it fits within Vimeo's 2 GB upload limit? I have QuickTime Pro but no other commercial video package (though am open to affordable alternatives). I know video is an intensive process and would like to be able to convert at least one video a day.
    Thank you,
    -Ken

    Thanks for the suggestions, all.
    I guess what I'm asking is: what is the best process by which to shrink this file? Should I transcode it into a different format or compression method? If so, which one? Or should I scale down the resolution? If so, by how much? When I previously tried scaling it down, it appeared that it would take 24 hours to convert the entire video. Is that an accurate estimate?
    -Ken

  • How do I compress a video file on mac

    Please help!!  I have just created a movie using iMovie which is 175 mb. How do I compress it so I can email it to a friend?

    If the file is longer than a minute in time then it may be too large for email.
    Better to use an online file sharing service to send the 175 MB version.

    MP4 is a container format. The video inside (which is probably what you're talking about) is already compressed. If the compression is insufficient, you change codecs or parameters (eg, size). If you're trying to upload it to YouTube, than you need to convert it to a different container format, Flash Video; you should convert to .f4v, not .flv. Either way, the quality of the video will be affected.

  • Compress a video file -- just a little bit..?

    I got 3 hours of 16:9 60i XL2 documentary footage that I'm cutting in FCE and then iDVD -- of course this was a bit too much to fit on one standard single layer DVD.
    Well, so I've now managed (with quite a bit of effort) to edit down my material to 2 hours and 15 min -- but yet, iDVD complains that I'm a mere 100MB over the limit.
    Since I can't trim the footage any further, I tried to compress one of the longer video clips a little in FCE (using its "Quicktime Conversion") but after a few hours(!) of processing, it hangs every time (yes, I have ample computing power and disk space).
    I wonder if anyone can give me a pointer or suggestion on how to cram those last minuscule 100Mb onto this DVD before I'm going completely nuts.
    Any help appreciated,

    iDVD supports dual layer media thus doubling the length of your movie to 4 hours limit (if your mac has a recent superdrive model supporting dual layer DVD blanks as MartinR suggested).
    Or what do you think about a two disks project ?
    I'm cutting this disk as a master disk for DVD duplication, so a dual layer disk won't do (my "clients" would kill me). And no, they will also smack me for making this a double-disk project -- it's a continues theater play that they want on one disk. Rats.
