Compressing .dv file from 6.12gb

Hello everyone.
I do not have the pro version of quicktime. I have a file I ripped from a family movie DVD given to me by my uncle. I converted the .vob file to quicktime but it's 6.12GB. Is there any way to make the file smaller? I don't mind losing a little bit of quality or resolution. I just want the file down to about half it's size, or smaller if possible.

OK, you don't use QT at all since you lose all the audio from MPEG-2 sources (VOBs) and must have used quite a lossless codec to end up with 6 GB.
So take this legal "family" movie (ho ho) and open the VOB in MPEG Streamclip (free) and export to QT and pick a codec like Sorenson 3 or download and use 3ivX for better quality and smaller files.
I suggest you mark maybe a minute of the clip in MPEG Streamclip with the in/out markers and export to a few different codecs/settings and see how good it looks and how small it is.
Then you can figure out how much a whole hour or whatever will be.
Note VOBs may span chapters - once a VOB hits a size limit a new VOB starts. So if you want one chapter converted, use Mac the Ripper to rip each chapter and you will have one VOB with that chapter in it to open and convert.
When playing the original DVD you can tell the title nummber and chapter number for the chapter by clicking on the words title and chapter in the DVD controller.
Note you need the Apple MPEG-2 playback component for Quicktime ($20) to do this, I assume you have it as you wouldn't have even been able to open it without.
Buy some RAM.

How to compress video files from 10.0.8?

I need to compress my videos to share them on Dropbox. In the share options, I only get the file to be reduced from 149 MB down to 95 MB. How can I reduce it more to better share it and use in teaching? (I need to embedd three short videos in a Power Point, now it takes about 20 minutes to upload it).
On different forums, it's described how you can export the files to Quick Time to reduce file size without changing the quality and some speak of using Compressor, however, I can't find any of this in iMovie 10.0.8.
Are there any app's you recommend using?
Appreciate all the help I can get :-)

Hi Vishu Thakur,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand you want to move videos from your computer to your iPad Air and are trying to use Home Sharing to move the files. The process of moving files from your computer to your iPad is called syncing and would use iTunes to actually move the files from iTunes to the iPad. The article attached explains the process.

Compress/zip files from the command line in Windows 7?

In Windows 7 is there a native way to compress or zip files from the command line? I'd like to do it without installing any third-party utilities such as 7Zip.

I fully agree that Compact is not the answer. There are additional concerns with the Compact command. It enables disk compression which is a total no-no. Very bad! It makes your computer very slow and is quite difficult to undo. The only time anyone should
use this command is when they're removing disk compression because someone turned it on to save space. Turning this off has to be done by booting into the recovery console, if my memory serves me correctly, and it's a real nuisance. So
definitely no to the Compact command.
If you wanted to compress files before sending them to another drive, or over a network, or by email, then Compact wouldn't actually help at all because the files have to get uncompressed whenever they're accessed, especially before sending them anywhere.
When I say accessed, I mean that just looking at a file triggers the OS to decompress it in the background and present you with an uncompressed version of it then letting you change it and recompressing it again for storage every single time you access the
file, which is why your machine gets slower. If you have folders or files that have blue text instead of black, then you've probably already made this mistake.
I would also like to know if there is a built-in command for zipping files/directories, or, if there isn't such a thing built into Windows, then I would like to know if this is feature is accessible through Visual Studio, which would be just as good as having
a command-line program for those of us that do a bit of programming.
If anyone knows if MS provides such a feature, either by command-line or through an API, then I'd love to hear about it. Good luck to those of you that have disk compression turn on.

How can I export a compressed mp4 file from iMovie (mavericks)?

Hello everyone,
I had just downloaded the new version of iMovie.
I'm very amazed to see that the funcion "Export movie with QuickTime" is not available.
I used this funcion to customize parameters of exported videos;
How can now customize parameters? I have to use another external software to produce mp4 files???
Thankyou for answers.
Gianmarco

If you use "Share" and choose 540P, 720P or 1080P it will be mp4, withH264 codec. You just have to once figure out what spefic settings (for example bitrates) are used with the defaults from iMovie 13 (look-up the exported files with info in Quicktime), and wether they are ok with you.
In the former version I already used automator to achieve some specfic settings for my web-video's, now I think I don't need that anymore.
The only way around as far as I know is the usage of QTPro7 or compressor. Export as 1080P and open the file with one of those apps.

Compressor won't compress large files from QT X Screen cap

all of my large screen capture files give a "Quicktime error: -36" when I try to transcode them in Compressor. Small ones work fine. Trimming one large file into two smaller ones makes no difference; the second of the two still fails. Ideas please..?

Need more info:
What compression settings are you using?
File size of original file?
Hard drive space remaining?
How much ram?
How many cores?
etc
Pretty much every little detail.

Lightroom 3 publish service: Sending 3 files from one photo

Hi,
I have created a lightroom 3 publish service that will export each photo as a huge TIFF file over a slow broadband connection to an external server. The external server creates 3 compressed JPEG files from the TIFF file.
I think this is too slow and that it would be much better if the lightroom publish service created those three files and then sent them over the internet. Please note I am using Mac OS X 10.8.5 and Lightroom 3.
My question is, what would be the best way to accomplish this task? Can lightroom compress the photo 3 times, or is it best to create another script on the local machine to accept each file, compress them, and then send them via the internet? What is the most secure and easy way to do this?

Well, I don't see any reason to use an external script, since your Lightroom plugin can do this without it. Since you are controlling the code of the publish service, I recommend just doing this 3 times:
local session = LrExportSession {
photosToExport = { ... },
exportSettings = { ... }.
session:doExportOnCurrentTask() -- or new task.
-- upload via FTP...
PS - SDK forum would be better place to ask this question.

Compressing PDF files in Finder - Files are no smaller after compression!

Hi,
I have PDF portfolio files (Acrobat 9) that include images (jpegs and PNGs)and PDFs. I want to compress them so i can email them. When i ctrl click them and select 'compress' the resulting .zip file is exactly the same size as the original PDF file! Can anyone explain why?!
Is it not possible to create compressed zip files from PDFs containing multiple files / types?
FYI, i have made the PDFs themselves as small as possible within Acrobat before trying to compress them, compressing is a last resort!
Thanks

Thanks. I've reduced the image sizes to what i think is the minimum for good viewing, but the total PDF size is still too big for emialing (about 25mb). Is there any alternative to resizing the images (and other files) again and making the tottal PDF size smaller?

When downloading a file from google drive and save in my phones document directory,the file size is compressed. Why?

I have downloaded files from "Dropbox" and save in phones document directory,After downloading in document directory,the size of the download file is same as the actual size in dropbox. I can also open it from document directory.Everything is ok. But when I follow the same process for google drive files, the file size is compressed(if actual size of file is 1.2Mb the download file size is 61Kb). So I can not open it from document directory.So, How can i download the actual size of the file in document directory? I am using google api objectivec client for google drive.
Thanks in advance.

Reading a Compressed File from a ZIP File, which is an entry of ZIP File

Hello, Experts,
Would it be possible somebody to help me with code example for the following problem?
I want to read a compressed file from a ZIP file, which is an entry of ZIP File, without extacting/writing files on file system. Is this possible?
Lets say we have a ZipFile1. There is ZipFile2 inside ZipFile1. And inside ZipFile2 is FileA. The scenario is reading FileA without extracting on file system.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Cheers
RADY

The classes you want to be using are java.util.zip.ZipInputStream and and ZipEntry from the same package. Construct the ZipInputStream with the input you have for the outer zip. Loop with ZipInputStream.getNextEntry until you find the inner zip you're looking for - that method returns a ZipEntry, and you get the name of the zip entry with ZipEntry.getName. Read the ZipInputStream from that point into some buffer, and read that buffer into a new ZipInputStream - rinse and repeat until you have the contents of the file in the zip in the zip...

Exported MOV file from Express - what do I compress it as for media???

I exported a MOV file from Final Cut Express. Looks great. Now I need to send it to broadcast - CNN, NBC, etc.
What format should I compress it with Sorenson Squeeze 6? I've tried different presets but want to know what's the best one to use. Please help. Need responses ASAP.

I'm sorry, I meant to write you have to ask the broadcasters what they want. They can have a lot of very different demands.
This is also very dependent of what your material is. Fine, you exported to QuickTime Movie, but what did you export. HD? SD? What specification? If you don't know, open the file in the QT player and report exactly what it says in the movie inspector.
You can put anything on a big enough FTP server provided you have the time and a wide enough pipe. It's probably going to be a really big file or files so you'd better have a really fast connection and/or a lot of time. Sometimes FedExing a drive is faster.

Compress video files for email from iPod

I manage an ipod Lab for an intensive English school. We want students to be able to email themselves larger audio and video files from directly from the iPod without having to go through iTunes/iPhoto. We often run into the problem with files being too large to email and are wondering if there is some sort of compression app that we can install on the iPod that will let us compress large files down for email. Something like ESFileExplorer for Android.
Thanks,
jHart

Video and audio files are almost impossible to compress with a separate general-purpose compressor application. Such compressors just don't work with the way video and audio files are structured and usually make a video or audio file larger, not smaller; they can't shrink the file size and just add unnecessary overhead. The only effective way to shrink a video or audio file is to re-encode the file with a lower bit rate, smaller frame size (for videos) or both. I don't know if there's any app on the iPod that can do such re-encoding, and even if there is, unless these videos and audio files are quite short, it's probable that they can't be shrunk enough to get through most email systems which usually have very low attachment sizes allowed, often on the order of 10 to 20 megabytes maximum.
A cloud-based storage solution such as Dropbox may be the only practical solution, though I'm not sure what video and audio apps would support saving to such as service. Someone else here may be able to offer suggestions.
Regards.

Compression a tiff file from 25 MB to 2-3 MB by lwz

I need help. I am trying to compress a tiff file (CMYK) using lwz format.
The size of the file is 25 MB. Photoshop (CS5) compressed it to a 19 MB-file.
I need to compress the file to at leats 2-3 MB size. Any one how to do it?

Bypassing the portion of the file is not a option in my case since a part
of the program reads the bytes and performs operation on the image when it
reads 8bim.
The image if re-saved in Photoshop gets the required metadata. (Can be seen
by using imagemagik's identify utility)
Only option that I have is to write the information for the resource in
side the Image resource block tag.
How am I suppose to write this resources when I am using BitmapMetadata
class?

HT201250 Can I restore photo files from Time Machine without the use of an external drive? I'm trying to restore lost photo files and I see them listed in Time Machine (without use of an external drive), but when I try to restore I get a error code 36.

Can I restore photo files from Time Machine without the use of an external drive? While I was transferring photos back and forth from a thumb drive something went haywire and my IPhoto was wiped clean! When I click on Time Machine I see all the dated pages (without an external storage drive connected), go back to a date where all my photo files are there, click "restore", and I get the message: "The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in file cant be read or written (error code - 36)"

Thanks so much Terence. I tried some of the fixes from that page, but then discovered the suggestion to compress the Time Machine Back up of the original library and transfer it as a zip back to my computer as detailed here:
http://pondini.org/TM/E9.html
That worked like a charm. I really appreciate it.
