DVD Size- Please help

I am in a little bit of a panic right now. I am rendering a movie in IDVD that I brought over from Final Cut Express. It's about 52 minutes long and 11GB. I put in a DVD that's only 4.7GB. I didn't know this was the problem. I put it in last night before I went to bed and this morning I got an error. I am assuming this is why I received the error. I am really new to all of this. Are there blank DVD's that will accomodate this size file and will they work with a MAC? Please help. I have to have this done by noon today.
Thank-you so much.

size doesn't matter in iDVD.. only length.. any under 120min is ok.
recommendations:
in iDVD: don't just 'burn', but select 'create image'.
in FCE: don't 'manually' convert into something by choosing 'Export/Quicktime Conversion', just 'Export/Quicktime Movie' - drag that into iDVD.
be sure, FCE project and iDVD project fit the same framerate/standard (25/29.97fps)
don't 'overwhelm' iDVD's dropzones with 'hours' of content.. those dropzones are meant to fit a few seconds (minute) of material..
be sure, your projects contain 'any' audio (even an audio-track of 'nothing' is audio.. but no 'empty' audio track in iDVD please).
when image is created, launch apps/Utilities/DiskUtility to 'copy' disk image onto a 'real' DVD.. choose Verbatim or Toyo Yuden -r ... burn speed 2-4x .

Optical drive does not read CD's but DVD's please help!

My disc burning read-out is:
HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4165B
when i place any type of CD in my optical drive, after a few seconds the drive ejects. When i place any type of DVD media in the optical drive it reads perfect. any one have a solutions please help..
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5) Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5

Well, I bought a CD/DVD cleaner kit, and nothing happened--it didn't even recognize that the cleaner disc was in there and it didn't do anything.
I checked for an optical drive update, but the only one I found was for older Macs for 4X DVDs, which had nothing to do with CDs. Since even music discs won't mount, nor will discs that mount on every other Mac in the house, Macs both older and newer than my G5 and discs both older and newer, I suspect my drive is toast. Dang.

Exporting for DVD? Please help, I'm going nuts.

Hi all,
Pretty huge issue at the moment. I have a deadline to meet and I can't export my movie out of Final Cut to a DVD. How can I export the timeline for a DVD quality finished product? I don't have Compressor installed and I think this is a major issue. I tried printing to tape so I could bring the project over to Adobe Premiere and use Encore to publish the DVD, but every time I try to print to tape it constantly drops frames and it's hopeless.
If anyone has any suggestions at all please help me!
Thanks,
Daryl

thing is, I don't have FCS...I have FCP. I had my software installed where I bought my mac from, and I've came to realize now that I have nothing else but FCP installed...there is nothing else there that came with FCS. It's not really a huge problem because I can take my mac back whenever I want to get the owner to install any software I need, but that's kind of an issue at the moment considering I have deadlines. I can't afford to have my mac sitting at their office for a day or two at this point.
If I can just figure out how to print this thing back to tape so I can bring it into Premiere on my PC and use Encore to make the DVD everything will be golden. I'm just having HUGE issues trying to print this to tape...which shouldn't be a problem in the first place. (that I have encountered anyway).

Video_TS folder error! can't get a quality burn for my DVD! please Help

I am currently working on a project in DVDSP 3. i have had problems with the computer freezing while trying to burn my DVD. If the computer didnt freeze while burning the Log (while going through the process) would bring up 2 error signs. One was: "The Video_TS folder will not be included in the final disc." And directly after that it would say: "the VOB_DATA.LAY file will not be included in the final disc. The burn was successful but when i viewed it the quality of the image was fuzzy and not up to par with previous burns.
I found out i had a bad hard-drive. So i replaced it. re-formatted my hard-drive and re-installed all my applications (i.e FCP, DVDSP). I re-compressed all my movies and re-created the entire DVD menu. But the problem still persists!
Please HELP!

When i am about to burn my project should i choose simply "burn" or "build/format" ?
Either one will create a folder on your harddrive with the TS Folders AND burn.
These warnings signify nothing. They're just to inform you that the certain files used by DVDSP to "contact" your initial build folder won't be included in your TS folders.
I can't figure out why Apple states these warnings - they do nothing but scare people

Should I make an HD DVD or an SD DVD? Please help!

I have footage that I shot in HDV quality (1440x1080i). I have edited them and now have 46 moviefiles of between 2 and 2,5 minutes each. The DVD will be used for mass reproduction, so I need to make sure it is playable by all (including older) DVD players.
Does this mean that I cannot make an HD DVD from it and that I should stick to a SD DVD? Is an HD DVD playable on any player? Or does the high resolution give trouble? Please help!

HD-DVD is a now defunct format, it has been replaced by Blu-ray, which DVDSP cannot author to. So if you're sticking with DVDSP, and you want it universally playable, you'll need to stick with an SD DVD.
On another note, this may be of assistance:

I installed Lion, now my dvd drive doesn't recognize any files on dvd. Please help.

I'm a photographer with tons on images on dvd and my dvd drive now doesn't recognize any files on any of my dvd's. Help!!!

After 3 trips to the Apple store this week, the issue is still unresolved. The photo dvd's open just fine on Snow Leopard, but are not recognized at all on Lion. I'm guessing since the DVD's were originally burned on a PC, they will no longer work. After finding out that PowerPC is no longer recognized by Lion and I can no longer use Nikon NX2 (Photo editing software), I will be re-installing Snow Leopard. According to the Apple store in Lancaster, Pa. there is no refund available for my Lion purchase. I have a ton of photo DVD's, most of which will not open since I've only recently switched to an IMAC system. It has made me think about returning to the PC world. I'm VERY unhappy with these developments and I really need to re-think my computer situation. I don't do much else besides photography. My purchases and time spent with my IMAC has aparently been a great waste.

Problem with DVD drive, please help

Hi people, please read the whole story and give me some advice.
Last Friday, took the train from Stoke on trent to Birmingham to get to Apple at the bullring as the DVD drive is not recognising DVDs. Everytime I put a dvd in, the blank dvd message comes up! They told me they can replace the drive, but it will take a few days unless I pay for Apple pro care, as I needed it done quick, I paid, I roamed around the shops waiting for the phone call that it is ready. After an hour, got a call saying that the NEW DRIVE they have in stock is faulty, so I came back, they told me that they will call me when they get another one in stock. Went back home after having wasted a day in birmingham.
Monday, got a message on my voicemail, the drive is in stock, pop in and we'll replace it. As I was working all week, I thought I'd give them a ring to arrange for the repair on Saturday where they can fit me. I tried to call all week, THE BULLRING STORE DOES NOT ANSWER THEIR PHONES!
So, I popped in today, they said that they cannot do it today as they were busy. I asked to see the store manager and explained to her the situation and how annoying it is not to be able to get in touch with the store. She told me she'll get it done before closing time.Luckily by 2 pm it was ready, picked up , hopped back on the train to stoke. Got home tried a DVD, it works, then suddenly STOPS WORKING.
The Macbook now doesn't recognise the drive at all, and I've got a DVD stuck in it.
I have wasted another day in birmingham + train fares + Apple pro crae (79.99). I am very frustrated, I am now having second thoughts on the quality of apple products. If the matsui drives are crap, why don't they get another manufacturer to make it for them.
I would appreciate your help on what should my next move be, I cannot keep loosing my time like this, I paid good money for this kit and I need it to work.

Have a read of this article. You definantely should be able to get a full refund (whether they will do that is a different matter).
If you don't ask (firmly) then you don't get. A 12 month warranty is there for a reason so use it. I can't believe they've actually charged you for work already within the 12 month period. I have also being trying ot look for an article about claiming unfair travel to and from a shop for repairs but I cannie find it.....
Would you consider asking for a replacment laptop. From what I have read on the forums, if you call apple they will be more likely to help out, maybe give them a try and avoid Birmingham all together.
ps, i'm from Stoke too -Small world eh?

HD File Sizes - Please Help

Hi there... i imported files from my camera, on my camera is 120GB, and i can film 13 hours in Full HD (1080) when i imported it to my mac, a 5 min clip was 5 Gigs. i dont get why its 5 gigs, i can record 13 hours on 120 Gigs... does anyone know how i can reduce the file size without loosing quality? thanks for all the help.

AVCHD is a compression file storage format. That compression needs to be decompressed in order to be viewable as video for editing. It's like having a zipped or stuffit file backup of one of your programs. While compressed it is small and thus there is room for more info on the storage device. But, when you're ready to use that program, you uncompress it, suddenly it's much bigger.
When you are ready to burn a DVD, iDVD, TOAST 10, or whatever you choose will compress the video again as it burns your disk. As you may see in other posts on this forum, iDVD will compress as much as necessary (within reasonable limits) to be able to fit 2hr. of content on the DVD disk.

I need to Paste without Photoshop changing the pasted size, please help!

Hello all,
I'm learning to use photoshop and could really use some help! I need to cut and paste an image from one photoshop doc to another. This I can do just fine, but when I do, it resizes the image I pasted and makes it smaller. Since I'm wokring with scans that need to retain their exact size, this is not good.
Can anyone please tell me what I'm doing woring?
-Also, the piece of the doc I'm cutting from is a little bit bigger than the 8..5 x 11 letter size doc I'm pasting into.
Thanks so much for your input!
Anna

Problem with image size, please help!

I have spent the last week editing several photos I took for my cousin of his newborn baby (removing backgrounds/people, editing colours etc etc).
I went to get them printed but the image size is only around 800 x 400 pixles. I checked my original images from my camera and their 4000 x 3000, why are my photos once imported into photoshop suddenly being drastically reduced in size?
Really need some help here as I'm afraid I might have lost a whole weeks work as the images are now too small to get decent prints from.
Thanks,
Sacred

The pixel measurements are 3000 x 4000 when taken straight off my camera but for some reason after editing the photo its gone down to 800 x 800, this wouldnt be too much of a problem but its at a density of 300dpi where as the original pictures are at 72dpi.
I've tried my hardest to replicate the problem all afternoon going through the various stages of importing, editing and saving that I normally do and I can't get it to do it again? Really confused as to whats happened, its not the first time though I had the same problem back in 2007 after shooting someones wedding, edited a few of the photos (no cropping) then found the sizes had dropped drastically.
As far as I know I don't have any scripts, actions or image processes set up to do anything on any of my images.
When I open the file I've retouched its gone from a printable measurement of 60 x 40 inches to a printable measurement of 3 x 3 inches, this image has been extensivly cropped (just over half to 3/4) but no where near as small as 3 x 3 printable inches (I'm talking in printable size and not pixles because it can be missleading as saying the size in pixles doest equate to a physical size).
From what I can tell the image has changed size after editing and saving, I only noticed a few days later when I attempted to have the image printed that it had reduced in size so much. Which leads me to believe that the image problem must stem from the way its being saved each time??
Thanks a lot for your help and time guys

White screen when playing dvds. Please help.

When I fast forward or rewind a movie on my Macbook the screen becomes white while the movie still plays. It takes about a minute for the white screen to go away. This has never happened before. Is there a problem with my Macbook or is it the dvd?

I actually figured out what was wrong. On my "viewDeactivate" event, I was cleaning up all object references (including the StageVideo instance). So everytime viewDeactivate was dispatched, the blank white screen would show up.
For anyone who runs into this situation (on the iPad), you should know that the viewDeactivate event is dispatched not only when moving between views, but also when alerts (or notifications) popup, when going back to the Home screen, and also when you double tap the Home button for the multitasking bar. Likewise the viewActivate event will fire when you return from any of the above mentioned states on the iPad, not just when moving between views. Knowing this helped me to fix the issue I was facing with StageVideo.
Hope this helps someone.
