Does anyone know how to pull a clip from a dvd but make it smaller?

I have downloaded a DVD taken by another parent and need to remove clips from that for a highlight film. It downloaded as 4 separate 8 minute clips for some reason. That's fine but now I want to pull specific sections from those clips and move them to the movie I am creating. When I do this, they retain the original size of the entire clip (1.61GB) when I really need them to be smaller. I have iMovie 5.0.2. Can anyone give me some guidance?

OK so it sounds like you have the content off the DVD and onto your computer, yes? If so, which format is the footage? DV, MPEG2, etc.?
You get them into iMovie ok? If so, then you just need to shorten the clip and export or use the smaller part?
Do you know how to use iMovie in general to trim and edit clips or is this your first attempt at iMovie?

  • Does anyone know how to copy my files from my ipod to a different computer?

    Does anyone know how to copy my files from my ipod to a different computer? I tried to do it, but all that it did was erase my files. What i want to to is use my ipod to transfer my files to another computer (which has itunes as well) PLEASE help!

    You will need to enable your iPod for disk use. Then, you should see your iPod in "My Computer" and you can open up your iPod's folder there and drag the files into it. You can store the files on the iPod, then connect it to the other computer and drag-and-drop them from the iPod into the designated directory in that computer. Make sure individual files are not larger than 4 GB.

  • Does anyone know how to convert the output from the standard report to xml?

    Does anyone know how to convert the output from the standard SAP report to xml?

    since it a standard report which you cannot modify you can only do the following.
    submit report exporting list to memory
    then
    list from memory and then
    use the returned itab along with CALL TRNSFORMATION key word to convert to xml.
    but this only going to place the whole list content (including data and formating lines,etc) into a xml element and not the actual data alone in the list .

  • Does anyone know how to load a file from the source directory?

    I have a Photoshop panel  that uses the Texturizer function. I would like to use the images in the src images directory of the  project. I need to reference the /src/images directory of the panel when the project is running.
    Does anyone know how to access the source directory using action script?
    I have tried a number of options but only seems to work if I hard code a location
    public static function Mat02(): void
    // Works
    var myTexture:File = new File("C:\\Users\\Ed\\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\\LayoutBuilderSuite\\src\\images\\mat 02.psd");
    // Tried - no luck
    //          var file = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("mat 02.psd");
    //          var file:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("mat 02.psd");
    //var file:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory;
    //file = file.resolvePath("mat 02.psd");
    //var myTexture:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("mat 02.psd");
    //var myTexture:File = File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("mat 02.psd");
              var desc5:ActionDescriptor = new ActionDescriptor();
              desc5.putEnumerated( app.charIDToTypeID( "GEfk" ), app.charIDToTypeID( "GEft" ), app.charIDToTypeID( "Txtz" ) );
              desc5.putPath( app.charIDToTypeID( "TxtT" ),   myTexture  );
              desc5.putInteger( app.charIDToTypeID( "Scln" ), 150 );
              desc5.putInteger( app.charIDToTypeID( "Rlf " ), 4 );
              desc5.putEnumerated( app.charIDToTypeID( "LghD" ), app.charIDToTypeID( "LghD" ), app.charIDToTypeID( "LDBR" ) );
              desc5.putBoolean( app.charIDToTypeID( "InvT" ), false );
              app.executeAction( app.charIDToTypeID( "GEfc" ), desc5, DialogModes.NO );

  • Does anyone know how to move ePub ebooks from Adobe digital editions to a Kobo?

    Does anyone know how to move ePub ebooks that I've purchased onto my Kobo eReader?  I've tried everything...help from where I bought the books, surfing the net, etc. but even though the book is in the library of my Adobe Digital Editions I can't drag it onto the Kobo library.  The dragging stops at the border of the Adobe site.  I've spent hours and am SO frustrated - hope somebody can help.

    Have you tried contacting Adobe?

  • Does anyone know how to solve my Ipad from blacking out during apps?

    My IPad is blacking out during apps and going back to the main screen.  It will do it in Outlook, Internet as well as games.  Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

    Sometimes its bescause you have to much memory being used up. Id try:
    1. Double tap the home button to bring up the bottom. Hold your finger down on any app until they wiggle. X out of any apps you are not using.
    2. Reboot. Hold the home and power button at the same time. Ignore the red slider. Until the screen goes black and the apple logo appears.
    Try your game or app again. I know if you have a bunch of stuff running in the background, and run a game like infinity blade or a high processing game. The app will close on you.

  • HT2008 Does anyone know how to save an ichat from my iphone to my mac laptop?

    A dear friend of mine passed away, and I want to save an important ichat of ours to my Mac laptop. (I believe part of the ichat an SMS text and part is an ichat but it shows up as one long text over several months). Does anyone know how to do this? I'm running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4. Thank you very much!

    HI,
    So this is a conversation that is on the iPhone that has taken place over a period of time and has involved SMS  and iChat type Messages.
    I did this on my phone
    Go to Messages
    Go to the conversation you want to "Save"
    Use the Edit top right.
    Scroll the Conversation to the top
    Tap each line you want to send (somewhere)
    Each will get a red tick and the Forward  and Delete option at the bottom become Active.
    Once I had several lines ready I chose the Forward Option and sent them to my Apple ID I use in Messages Beta  (i.e I sent is as an iMessage)
    The result is a single iMessage with all the lines (selected) justified to the left  (it does not separate you and your Buddy's parts)
    Picture
    If your iPhone is in the United States and the Carrier support AIM SMS forwarding you may be able to send it to yourself, in iChat, via that method.
    You may have some luck with http://www.apple.com/itunes/inside-itunes/2010/04/how-to-grab-screenshots-on-iph one-ipad-and-ipod-touch.html
    I have yet to find a way to email the Messages/Conversation.

  • Does anyone know how to deactivate a hyperlinks from a PDF exported from Pages?

    I have created a pages doc that I needs to be exported as PDF. In pages, I all the hyperlinks are deactivated, but every time I export it to a PDF the hyperlinks are reactivated. Does anyone know how to make sure the hyperlinks stay deactivated once the doc is converted to a PDF?

    If the links are spelled out (example:http://www.somewebsite.com) and not actual hyperlinks where the links are embedded under regular text, Reader will recognize them as links automatically unless the user has that option turned off (it's on be default). You can't keep that from happening unless the text is an image.
