Exceeds Maximum Content

I use IDVD 4.01. I'm trying to burn an IMovie to iDVD and always get the following message:
Your project exceeds the maximum allowed content duration. You will not be able to burn your DVD.
The Preferences are set to: Best Quality. The status bar shows 5.3 of 4 GB.
This message appears no matter how much I trim the Imovie content. I've even reduced it to 5 minutes. I've deleted preferences and tried all the other workarounds but can't get anywhere. Any suggestions?

Try the menu item in iDVD to delete encoded assets and see if that frees anything up.

Project exceeds maximum content duration. New solutions?

Okay, I've done in the past few years at least 50 DVDs (from 1-2 hours long) using iDVD and this is the first time I've had this problem where it keeps telling me that my current "project exceeds maximum content duration," though the project is clearly under 2 hours.
I've searched this forum for solutions, but none came to solve mine. I'm wondering if I'll have to redo this project. I changed the Project Info to Best Quality. I looked for any stray files inside menus, and I even tried deleting a few extra movie clips.
Project: total project duration: 103:52 minutes
total project compacity: 5:570 (max. available: 4.172 GB)
That simply seem right. I've done equally long projects using same camera and iMovie edit and have never experienced this problem until now.
Any solutions? Work arounds?
Thanks for the help.

If you had some large files in motion menus, that could have been your problem. (In the standard definition mode, you can have up to 15 minutes of menu content, and this counts against the 'Best Quality' 120 minute limit.)

Project Exceeds Maximum Content Duration? - Help!

Have a new Dual G5 iMac and running iMovie HD 6.0. I've just finished editing a graduation video that is 97 minutes in length and 5.35 GB in size. When I attempt to burn after creating a iDVD intro theme, I get the message that "the project exceeds maximum content duration. To burn a DVD change the encoder settings to best quality."
Of course I have changed the setting, but the same message keeps appearing. I thought I had 2 hours worth of space? Making the video any shorter is not an option.
Can anyone help me get this burned and out to my graduates?
Many Thanks!

To repair disk permissions, go to your Applications folder, Utiltities folder then open Disk Utility. In there you will find buttons for check disk permissions and repair disk permissions. Just click on the repair one. This sort of sets a lot of stuff back to where they should be and it is generally recommended that you repair permissions, at the very least, after you install anything new. Some people do it before and after an install. And in general once in a while is a good idea. I always do it before I go to burn a new DVD with iDVD. Repairing permissions takes a couple minutes.

Project Exceeds maximum content Duration

I have a movie from iMovie that is 106 minutes long. I sent it to iDVD and/or Media Browser. As I place it in iDVD it says the project exceeds the Maximum content duration. It is my understanding that projects can be 2 hours long. The file is only 1.2GB. In iDVD it says the project is 5.85GB for some reason and at 106 minutes it exceeds the duration. Any ideas.

Hi
Yes iDVD doesn't care about GBs at all only duration of movie + menu
and 60 or 120 minutes for SL DVDs
iDVD 08 & 09 has three levels of qualities.
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality (movies up to *120 min*.) - BEST
• Best Performances (movies less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies up to *120 min.)* - slightly lower quality than above

How do I force iDVD to exceed maximum content limit?

I have a MacBook with a single layer burner. With iMovie/iDVD, I have created a project that is 131 minutes, 4.52 GB in size, which is slightly larger than what can be burned onto a single-layer disc.
The project is from two 60 min. MiniDV tapes, so how the project becomes 131 minutes instead of 120, I'm not sure, unless iDVD is adding the menu times to the disc total. Please tell me if you know.
Anyhow, the movies are 3787 MB in size, and the menus are 843 MB in size.
"No problem," I thought to myself, "I'll just save export everything to a disc image, and bring it to Nero on my PC, where I can recompress the bloated menus down in size, and then burn onto a single-layer disc."
However, iDVD won't let me export to a disc image, it won't let me save to a VIDEO_TS folder, I can't do ANYTHING with it. I try to specify a dual-layer DVD type in the preferences and project info windows, but it's grayed out due to the fact that my built-in drive is only single layer.
Anyhow, my question is, is there a way to trick iDVD to render my project as is, or at least let me export it to a disc image or VIDEO_TS folder, or do I have to delete content? I really don't want to delete content if I don't have to...
I have an older PowerMac G4 (with OS X 10.4.11) which has an upgraded dual-layer burner, but it won't run iDVD '08, and besides, it would take a week to render. Can I somehow use its burner via FireWire disk mode, or is that only for accessing the hard drive?

If you are doing OFX for Quicken, it doesn't actually have to have that extension. Rather, it needs a Quicken Mime type, which you do as follows:
response.setContentType("application/vnd.intu.qfx");
For Microsoft Money, however, it does need a filename with the extension ".ofx". To do that, use a regular JSP file (or servlet), but set the name in the header as follows:
response.setHeader("content-disposition",
"attachment; filename=\"FILENAME.OFX\"");
You can replace "FILENAME" with whatever you want to call it.
Doing this causes the IE Save or Open dialog to come up - the user should pick Open, in which case Money should immediately process it.
N.B. I have done this successfully with Quicken, but we're just starting to implement for Money, so I'm basing my view of what is needed on the MS documentation. However, I do know that the code I gave to force the filename works.

Project Duration exceeds the maximum content duration ERROR.

I can't burn my movies with idvd. The following message occurs.
Project Duration
Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn your DVD, change setting in the Project Info window.
Now, the file is about 690 MB, but the total time of the project is 1:30:00.
How do I get my movie burned?

Hi sunilinjapan
Welcome to apple discussions. How many GB's of available hard drive space do you have currently on the boot volume? Assuming it's at least 25 GB's, then try making a disc image to the desktop from the file menu within iDvd. Then use apple's dvd player to test for proper playback. If you get to this point, then chances are it' not your mac but rather the media (assuming the s-drive is doing it's job and you are not trying to burn back to back dvd's w/o allowing the burner to cool a few mins.)
Hope this helps but if not feel free to come on back.

Your project exceeds the maximum content duration.

Save as VIDEO_TS folder....
Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the Project Info window.
Is there any way to get rid of this dumb lenght restriction??? I never put them on DVDs, so lenght or size of data doesn't matter. Any one know of another program that doesn't have this crummy restriction??
To Export movie files, I simply convert them to VIDEO_TS, and then back to movie files using DVD Ripper. Quicktime Pro has the export option, but it can't handle exporting a lot of videos at the same time with out slowing the computer down, and the Quicktime exported files are way bigger than when I use iDVD and then DVD Ripper to convert them back to a movie file.

The short answer to your question is no.

iDVD encoding settings:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
Short version:
Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes, and uses Constant Bitrate (CBR) encoding.
Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
Professional Quality is also for videos of up to 120 minutes but of even higher quality (and takes much longer). Both Best Quality and Professional Quality uses Variable Bitrate (VBR) encoding. The advantages of VBR are that it produces a better quality-to-space ratio compared to a CBR file of the same data. The bits available are used more flexibly to encode the sound or video data more accurately, with fewer bits used in less demanding passages and more bits used in difficult-to-encode passages.
A detailed explanation on how VBR encoding works can be read here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_bitrate
In both cases the 'maximum length' includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
This article has useful additional information:
http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20080812050651997
NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

Project Duration: project exceeds the maximum content duration

Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the Project Info window.
this is the message i get when i try to burn the DVD. I do have a super that does or is capable to burn a dual layer DVD. How do I change the settings?
any help would be great thanks jim k.

I'm having the same problem:
I have an imovie project which I exported to the media browser on the medium setting. The movie is only 29 min 29 seconds long, 640x360, 345.1 MB. When I try to burn in iDVD I get an error message saying there is not enough disc space. I have tried it with a regular DVD and a duel layer DVD - neither work.
What is the problem? I did a longer movie from the same footage earlier with no problem.
I also went in and changed the idvd preferences to "High Quality" - still no luck.

Maximum Content Mystery

What the...?
Okay, I'm a novice w/ iDVD and seem to have painted myself into a corner. Can someone figure this one out?
I took a 2 hour 30 minute iMovie w/ 23 chapters and dropped it into iDVD. It was (of course) too long/large @ 10GB. In preferences I changed to "Best Quality" and the status meter dropped to around 5GB. Still too large. I reduced the time of the menu and it dropped to around 3GB.
I clicked burn. It took FOREVER. Still, it worked.
But then, I tried to burn a second disc and I received the "Maximum Content Exceeded" error message.
For some reason, the capacity now reads 5 GB and I'm now no longer able to reign it in.
Huh?
What happened and how can I fix it?
Any help is most appreciated.

You really should not have been able to create a DVD of 2hr 30min length. Max length for iDVD, even at Best Quality, is 2 hrs, including menus, drop zones, etc
Check that first DVD you made ... willing to bet you have some probs with it
You can use something like DVD Studio Pro to create a movie longer than two hours ... maybe Toast 7 as well, but don't quote me on that
Your best bet, if you cant trim the 30 minutes away, is to put your movie on 2 DVDs

Cannot burn in iDVD 2008: maximum content problem on small file!!

Hello all,
I am having a very weird problem with iDVD '08. I have a file that is only 15 minutes long that I edited in iMovie. The file is about 840mb, and with the menu and everything, it comes up to about 866 mb. iDVD shows everything as fine, encodes, previews, etc..
However, when I go to burn the DVD, it says "Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the Project Info window."
In the project info, I have it set as "Best Performance", and that, according to the movie should be ok because the movie is only 15 minutes!!
I have tried everything that I can think of, and it is driving me crazy. I have tried DVD+R, DVD-R, and I have even tried saving the image to the PC, and then burning with Disk Utility.
When I try to burn with Disk Utility (the file is 849mb), it says the DVD does not have enough free space!
Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
Thanks in advance.
Subhash

Hello
I'm having the exact same problem, my file is only 12 minutes @ 424 mb! I'm still trouble shooting as we speak so if anyone hears of a worthy solution please pass it on.
With a file containing only 424mb, space should not not a problem. One problem could be the DVD-RAM recordable disk I'm trying to burn to. I was told it would work.
Could it be that my video comes from my new Oylmpus Stylus 820 camera that the apple dudes said would be great for importing video to imovie then sharing to idvd so I could burn with no problem. hmmm.
Is there some crazy application that I have to download to supplement idvd?
Please help.
Thanks

UnsyncCircularQueue$FullQ Queue exceed maximum capacity of: '65536' element

dear friends:
Does anyone knows the problem like this <BEA-002911> <WorkManager ClusterMessaging failed to schedule a request due to weblogic.utils.UnsyncCircularQueue$FullQueueException: Queue exceed maximum capacity of: '65536' elements
weblogic.utils.UnsyncCircularQueue$FullQueueException: Queue exceed maximum capacity of: '65536' elements
why this happend and how to solve it?
thanks a lot!

Hi,
Weblogic has a maximum storage for Pending Request queue configured at 65536. At this point, it will stop accepting incoming request to your Server Socket port.
This means that your Weblogic server / JVM very likely has depleted its internal Thread Pool triggering Weblogic to start queuing incoming requests; eventually reaching its maximum capacity.
From a resolution perspective, you will need to investigate the root cause, Thread Dump generation and analysis will be required in your case.
Please generate a JVM Thread Dump (kill -3 <pid> for UNIX OS) and share detail on Thread contention / problem pattern.
Thanks.

ORA-01044: size of buffer bound to variable exceeds maximum

Hello Oracle Gurus,
I have a tricky problem.
I have a stored procedure which has to retun more than 100,000 records. In my stored procedure, I have "TABLE OF VARCHAR2(512) INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER". It fails when I try to get 80,000 records.
I get an error "ORA-01044: size 40960000 of buffer bound to variable exceeds maximum 33554432"
A simple calculation shows that 512*80000=40960000.
Oracle help suggests to reduce buffer size (i.e., number of records being returned or size of variable).
But, reducing the number of records returned or reducing the size of variable is not possible because of our product design constraints.
Are there any other options like changing some database startup parameters to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Sridhar

We are migrating an application running on Oracle 8i to 9i and found the same problem with some of the stored procedures.
Our setup:
+ Oracle 9.2.0.3.0
+ VB6 Application using OLEDB for Oracle ...
+ MDAC 2.8 msdaora.dll - 2.80.1022.0 (srv03_rtm.030324-2048)
I am calling a stored procedure from VB like this one:
{? = call trev.p_planung.GET_ALL_KONTEN(?,?,{resultset 3611, l_konto_id, l_name,l_ro_id, l_beschreibung, l_typ, l_plg_id})}
If setting the parameter "resultset" beyond a certain limit, I will eventually get this ORA-01044 error. This even happens, if the returned number of records is smaller than what supplied in the resultset parameter (I manually set the "resultset" param in the stored procedure string). E.g.:
resultset = 1000 -> ORA-06513: PL/SQL: Index der PL/SQL-Tabelle ungÃ¼ltig fÃ¼r Language-Array vom Host
resultset = 2000 -> OK (actual return: 1043 Recordsets)
resultset = 3000 -> ORA-01044: GrÃ¶Ãe 6000000 des Puffers fÃ¼r Variable Ã¼berschreitet HÃ¶chstwert von 4194304
resultset = 3500 -> ORA-01044: GrÃ¶Ãe 7000000 des Puffers fÃ¼r Variable Ã¼berschreitet HÃ¶chstwert von 4194304
... therefore one record is calculated here 7000000/3500=2000 bytes.
In Oracle 8i we never had this problem. As this is a huge application using a lot stored procedures, changing all "select" stored procedures to "get data by chunks" (suggestet in some forum threads in OTN) ist not an option.
Interesting: I can call the stored procedure above with the same parameters as given in VB from e.g. Quest SQL Navigator or sql plus successfully and retrieve all data!
Is there any other known solution to this problem in Oracle 9i? Is it possible to increase the maximum buffer size (Oracle documentation: ORA-01044 ... Action: Reduce the buffer size.)? What buffer size is meant here - which part in the communication chain supplies this buffer?
Any help highly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Sven Bombach
