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 - 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.

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 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?

How can I send a large video file from my iPhone 4?

How can I send (by text) a (fairly) large video file from my iPhone 4 without it getting compressed first?
If that's not possible is there a way to uncompress the video file one it is received onto the receiving iPhone?
Or is there a way to sync or transfer a video file from iPhone to iPhone?

ExFAT would be the best file system format, as it will handle files greater than 4GB.
If exFAT is not available, go for FAT32.
Just FAT is too limiting, so avoid that

Software available for working with large video files?

Hello,
I'm working in PP CS6. I was wondering if there are any workarounds or 3rd party plugins/software that
make working with really large video files easier and faster?
Thanks.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for helping. This is the first time I shot video with my Nikon D5200. It was only a 3 minute test clip
set at the highest resolution, 1920x1080-60i. I saw the red line above the clip in PP CS6 and hit the enter
key to render the clip.
It took almost 18 minutes or so to render the clip. This is probably normal but I was wondering if there is
a way to reduce the file size so it doesn't take quite as long to render. I just remember a few years back
that when the Red camera was out, guys were working with really huge files and there was a program
from Cine something that they used to reduce the file size and make it more manageable when editing.
I could be mistaken. I've been out of the editing look for a few years and just getting back into it.
Thanks.
Mark

How to use and publish large video files in presenter 7 ?

I am creating video intensive e-learning contents in presenter 7 (updated to 7.05).
I generally, use 2 or 3 flv files (up to 50 MB size) in my presentation.
After I publish my presentation in a web site, users must wait too long for watching any single video.
Is there any method to use large video files (flv or any format) in presenter 7 and users can watch videos without any delay?
Best regards.

The problem you're facing is that Adobe Presenter output video playback is primarily Progressive Download rather than Streaming.
Options, for you, include:
1) Figure out a streaming video solution
2) Use Adobe Media Encoder to compress/squash your video into more manageable sizes before importing the video into Presenter. I have found a decent compromise is the Web Medium preset as its datarate of 600kbps is just about the most a DSL connection can handle.
3) Split your videos (instead of 2-3 50MB files, you'd have 4-6 25MB files).

My ipad locked up when trying to send a large video file. I tried to turn it off and it's stuck. What so I do?, My ipad locked up when trying to send a large video file. I tried to turn it off and it's stuck. What so I do?

My ipad 2 has locked up when trying to send a large video file. What do I do? Is there a reset button.
Thank you

Assuming that it's not still trying to send the video, then you could do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Uploading Large videos Files to SharePoint 2010

Uploading Large video Files to SharePoint 2010 for employee training portal
Saidireddy

Hello ,
The default maximum file size for SharePoint Lib is 50 MB. You can change the maximum file upload size in SharePoint 2010 .However;
a large volume of very large files can affect farm performance.
Ref to change maximum file upload size
http://aryannava.com/2011/05/30/how-to-change-the-maximum-file-upload-size-in-sharepoint-2010/
I would suggest you that instead of uploading large files to SharePoint, you can Upload those files to File server or
media steaming server and Share those links to SharePoint server.
You can embed those links to SharePoint Silver Media player in .mp4 or .wmv formats.

Can I save both DVD-R and DVD-Video files onto the same DVD?

Can I save both DVD-R and DVD-Video files onto the same DVD?

Hi Stan,
I just want the user to be able to run my video clips either on a
computer or on a standard DVD player. It would be nice to include both
formats on a single disc. I am new to this and am not sure what format
is most widely used for standard DVD players. Thanks for your response
and any guidance you can give me.

Is there a way to send a large video file through email, not using websites?

Hey guys,
Just wondering if there is an easy way to send a large video file through email, not using websites such as yousendit.com.
If anyone knows please respond, would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

No there isn't. Most all Email providers, whether your ISP or some other provider like Google, Yahoo, Microsoft with their Outlook.com or Office365 and Apple's own iCloud system, have a linit on the max size a email can be. Most are around 10MBs some slightly larger but if the vieo you want to send to someone it larger than that you will have to upload it to a website and then have the people you want to view it download it from that website.
