File to large for DVD

hey guys.ive just finished putting my dvd together and after building found it was 612MB to large to fit on a dvd. I changed my bit rate from the defult to two pass max bit of 6.2 and bit rate of 4 and re-built. Still the exact same result. 612MB to large. I rechanged the bit rate again three seperate time and continue to get the same problem. 612MB to large. Its a SD dvd set at 4:3. It says my total file size is 5.4GB. How can i get this to work guys?
help a very frustrated man out?
thanks

The audio is not automatically compressed to apac. If you have aifs, just use compressor and it will be quick. Some details on Compressor settings

  • How should I handle a file too large for DVD?

    I've created a 2-1/2 video of a play in FCE HD, utilizing two video tracks and three audio tracks in various spots, as well as some text transitions. With the title screens and scene index in iDVD, the movie comes in at about 8.5GB unless I switch to "Best Quality," in which case it's still 4.9GB (and doesn't look nearly as good as it should). So:
    1. Is there way to end up with a more managable file size from FCE without losing quality?
    2. If not, what's the best way to export a single FCE file to two movies (Acts I and II) to burn onto two DVDs?
    Thanks

    1) One way you could export content longer than 2 hours to DVD would be to go the dual layer route .. but you need a dual layer burner, and dual layer media. iDVD6 will handle this
    If you are limited to single layer, another option would be Compressor but that is not available with FCE, only DVD Studio Pro, part of the FCP Studio suite
    You could go the route of Toast 7 with Popcorn, but you would not get the fancy iDVD menus, themes, etc.
    Personally, I am not impressed with the quality of DVD content (single layer) over two hours by any method
    2) To split your project into two movies, create two new sequences and call them something like Part One and Part Two (gee, aren't I clever?) In you orginal sequence (Timeline) use In and Out points to define what the two parts will be ... so for Part One, set the In Point at the beginning of the timeline and find an appropriate point and hour or 90 minutes in and set an Out point.
    Open the Part One Sequence (the new one) From the Browser, drag your original Sequence (My Movie, whatever you called it) into Part One. Only the In to Out will go. You may want to put a Cross Dissolve at the end to fade to black. Maybe create a Part One Ends title there. Render everything. Set your chapter Markers. Export it and create an iDVD project from that movie
    Do the similar for Part Two

  • TFTP file too large for upload

    I'm trying to upgrade my router via TFTP. I keep getting this File too large for TFTP error. I'm using the recommended TFTP server from Solarwinds.
    There does not seem to be any setting in the server to let large file pass, It's the first time I see that, but this is the biggest IOS I had to upload. I had no problem sending the last IOS witch is only about 3MB smaller.

    correct. copy ftp://userid:password@servername/directory/filename flash:

  • Trying to copy a 10gb file to a memory stick but theres an error msg file to large for the file format of the stick. is there a way around this

    trying to copy a 10gb file to a memory stick but there's an error msg, file to large for the file format of the stick. is there a way around this

    If you use 'Disc Utility' you can format the stick (this will erase its contents) to be exFat which will still work with Mac and Windows but allow a larger file sizes to be placed onto the stick.
    Disc Utility > Click the drive on the left > Erase (tab) > Change format to ExFat > Erase > Try putting the file on to the stick again.

  • Why is Encore 5.1 AUTO mode building files just a bit too large for DVDs?

    I've been doing the same videos for a few years using Encore 1.5 and more recently Encore 5.1 (with Premiere 5.5).  The videos are typically football games with short 2-25 secs of motion menus.  If I put two games per DVD, the total running time has been up to 2 hours total per game.  I've made dozens of these with Premier writing AVI files (standard 720x480 vide) and writing in Encore 1.5 using auto settings.  With Premiere CS4 I started using the dynamic link to Encore CS4 and still ran beautiful DVDs on auto transcoding.
    Now, when using the same standard video files in Premiers 5.5, and using dynamic link to Encore 5.1, on auto transcode settings, the image files or transcode files (depending on how I order the build) keep coming out 150 - 300 MBs too large for the DVDs (typically Tayo-Yuden or Verbatim burning to Plextor/Pioneer drives). (Windows-7-X64 Intel D975XBX2 MB.)
    To see if I was going nuts, I recently saved a job as two AVI files (same length as the sequences sent through dynamic link to Encore CS5.1) and did the same DVD setup in Encore CS4 but importing the AVI files as timelines.  The chapter points didn't convert for Encore CS4 so I had to install manually. The end result, though, was a DVD image that worked fine.
    So I then went to the Encore CS5 build window and set the DVD size to manual, dropping down from 4.7GBs to 4.25.  The result fit, but then left too much free space (though the vids still looked OK). 
    I know by other discussions that others are having issues with Encore CS5.1 - or maybe it is related to Premiere 5.5 sequences.  Recently burned a set with 22 secs motion menu and 1.4 hours of video and had no problems on auto.  This leads me to believe either that Encore is underestimating the transcode sizes or there is a problem with writing DVDs at or near two hours in length. 
    Anybody have answers, suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Doug A

    Thanks, Giorgio.
    I do you imgburn quite a bit and even the new version 2.5.6.0 which allows for truncating and overburning wouldn't write to either the Plextor burners or the Pioneer 205 (Blu-Ray in DVD mode).
    I just ran another image build setting the disc size (for the burn) at 4.5GBs rather than the automatic 4.7GBs.  This helped and gave me a final image size of 4.33GBs - still not large enough to maximize the disc and the compressed code for better quality, but in this case, a tradeoff for just getting the job done.
    I hope Adobe updates a fix for this problem, if indeed, it turns out to be a bug.  Also, while I'm on the the bandwagon, the motion previews in Encore 5.1 do seem to preview in very low res.  I'll need to check to see if there is a setting for this, but I've not experienced it before 5.1.

  • File too large for volume format?

    I'm trying to copy a 4.6GB .m4v file from my hard disk to an 8GB USB flash drive.
    When I drag the movie in the finder, I get a dialogue telling me the file "is too large for the volume's format". That's a new one for me. If the flash drive has 8GB available, and the file is only 4.6GB in size, how is that too large? Does it have to do with the way the flash drive is formatted? It's presently formatted as MS DOS FAT 32. Is that the problem? Do I need to reformat as HFS+?  Or is it some other problem?

    The flash drive is pre-formatted FAT32 which has a maximum allowable file size of 2 GBs. Change the flash drive format for OS X:
    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.

  • Photoshop file as menus for DVD studio

    G'day guys - great forum!
    Can someone tell me - How compatible are photoshop files as menu pages for DVD Studio? In particular, will DVD studio make sense of the Adobe Encore naming conventions for buttons and so ensure that buttons, highlight layers, etc are treated correctly? Or do you need to fiddle?
    Regards,
    john

    Photoshop files are fine, but Encore is a different app than Photoshop.
    Quick Menus From Photoshop
    One Version of Mapping Photoshop Files
    another mapping example
    In general best to avoid layers in Photoshop files to assign background or overlay (meaning background - one flattened pict or tif and overlay flattend pict or tif) and layered menus (as oppossed to standard menus)

  • Project to large for DVD

    Hi
    Have exported my video and it 9.5GB for 45mins of Film how can i convert this so can fit it on to a 4.5GB dvd?
    I have FCP 5.0.1 and iDVD

    You are incorrectly identifying the size of the export video as the size of the DVD.
    It is the size of the encoded video.
    Use Compressor and elect the 90 minute preset for DVD best quality.
    That will yield about a 2.8 GB m2v video file for authoring.
    You need to spend some time learning how to author DVDs.

  • My file size if 3.5 GB but now it's too large for DVD Disc

    I have outputed my file using Adobe Media Encoder.  The file size came out to be 3.5 GB.  I do have some much smaller files that are in the MB range.  I have also included some basic menus. 
    I've tried burning my project on DVD but now Encore says that total file size for the entire project is 13.55GB!! This is a SD, DVD (720x480) project.  Why did my content just triple is size?  Can anyone help....??

    I have outputed my file using Adobe Media Encoder.
    As what? The "MPEG-2 DVD" format is what should be used to create a DVD-compliant file ready for Encore that will not need to transcode.
    What is the length of the video you encoded? If you can post a screen shot of the export settings panel from Premiere, that will be most helpful.
    In Encore, are any of the menus motion menus? Meaning that the thumbnails have live video rather than still images.
    Thanks

  • Best way to burn a file too large for a dvd?

    i have a captured video that is 5.5 gigs,should i split it into 2 parts?(if so with what application?) or is there another way? thanks.

    Buy a dual-layered DVD that can handle up to 9.4 GBs. Otherwise, you have to split the file, but it won't play that way. There are several utilities like:
    Split n Join
    JJSplit
    MacAppStuff Pieces
    Split&Concat
    Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • Compressed Video File Size Too Large for DVD?

    I exported a one hour and 51 minute FCP Studio sequence to Compressor. I chose the 120 minute 4:3 best quality and Dolby for the audio. It took six hours and thirty five minutes to compress. When I bring the compressed "assets" into DVD Studio Pro, it indicates 5.9 gig. That won't fit on a standard DVD-R disk. Should I have used a different compression scheme when I made my choice in Compressor? Can I fit the movie on a standard DVD, or do I have to go back to FCP to shorten the sequence? What size must it be in FCP to fit on a standard DVD after Compressor and DVD Studio Pro?
    Thanks

    iDVD encodes (compresses) the video before burning
    the DVD, so there's no problem. Your iMovie project
    will fit.
    The iDVD capacity is best expressed in time instead
    of size. iMovie 4/5 can include up to 2 hours of
    video. A little less, counting iDVD features.
    Karl
    Hi Karl
    I have an iMovie file that is 3hr and 10min long. I have a dual layer burner and dual layer DVD's to burn onto. Will this file fit onto the 8.5GB disc? or do I have to compress it somehow? If there is some software that will do this could you let me know?
    The dual layer DVD's say they will fit 215 min of video on them, so why does it reject my file when starting iDVD?
    Thanks for your help

  • 178MB file too large for 4GB DVD disc?

    Using iPhoto6 on my new MacBook, when trying to burn photos to a DVD/RW I sometimes get a message that there isn't enough room. The DVD has a capacity of over 4GB, but the File Info says I'm trying to burn only about 178MB of info (Approx. 200 photos. This also happens when I try to export a second batch of photos, but before burning the disc. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

    something similar to this happened to me as well. does your blank DVD show up in the finder's source list? or does it ignore blanks that are inserted into the macbook?
    in my case, it told me i needed a disk of at least the size of the file to be burned. so i changed the cd/dvd settings in system preferences so that it would ask me what to do when inserting blank cd's or dvd's. after that when i chose to burn that file it would immediate check the media then burn it. that may be your solution.

  • Movie file too large for iDVD

    I have a 13GB .mov file created using FCE Exported w/QT Conversion (prior it was a 30GB file) but it's still too large to place on DVD using iDVD. Is there a way to (1) Shrink my file size to be compatible with iDVD or (2) re-set iDVD to accept larger file sizes (I don't use dual layer discs)? If the answer to both of those is no, is there a specific DVD conversion software that is more versatile than iDVD? Thanks

    The length in time is what's important for burning to DVD, not the input file size. With iDVD you can burn a video up to 2 hours in length on a single-layer DVD-r (but that capacity includes your DVD menus, titles, etc.)
    Assuming your source is DV video, your original 30GB file is about 2 hrs 20 mins long. You will either need to shorten your video to less than 2 hours, or cut your video into two segments and burn it to 2 DVD-R's (one segment on each DVD-R).
    Compressing the way you did by exporting to QT Conversion is only going to make your video look worse and doesn't solve the length issue - you still have a 2 hr 20 min video. After you fix the length of the movie, you should export to QT Movie, and UNcheck the option for "Make movie self-contained".

  • Whats going on when after i have put my new project it tells me that cannot burn because my encode it too large for DVD

    I am trying to convert a video into a dVd i did one and it will not play on my blueray, but, at least it will do on my computer.  Now i am trying to do a different dvd and it tells me after i have downlowed my new project, that i cannot burn the idvd because it is too large check my encoded?

    The reason why your DVD will not play maybe your choice of disk.
    Was it a DVD + or DVD - ?
    Always use a good quality DVD blank disk, at least Verbatim and check what format your player will play.
    Next, to achieve the best quality export from iMovie, Share your Project to Media Browser.
    Then open iDVD and use the media button (bottom right) to import your movie.
    A possible reason that you are getting a too large error message is the time length of your DVD.
    The default setting in iDVD for Encoding is Best Performance (60mins) and you need to change this to either High Qualirty or Professional Quality which will allow more to be encoded on the disc (120 mins).
    iDVD > Project > Project Info > Encoding to change this setting and see on the Capacity slider if your project will fit.
    Otherwise check how much free space you have on your HD.
    Z.
    PS Slow your burn speed down to x4 for error free results.

  • 59 minute, 337 MB .mp4 file too big for DVD disc in iDVD 6???

    Going crazy here!! I have several 59 minute TV shows that I would like to create a menu for & then burn on a DVD that I can then easily watch on my DVD player. The file was originally an .avi file in PAL format. I tried creating the menu using the 'Pass Through' theme and dragged one .jpg image to drop zone 2. I then used 'Add Movie' to create a drop zone, and dragged my 1st .avi file to it. Then, I checked the Project Info window and see that the DVD Capacity is already in yellow, saying it's at 3.3 of 4.2 GBs. Video Mode is NTSC (since I'm in the US), Aspect Ratio is Widescreen, Encoding is Best, Project Duration is 59:37 minutes, Motion Menus is 0:37, Tracks and Menus are both 1 of 99, and in the Media window my file is listed twice, once for video and once for audio.
    I thought maybe the format or file type wasn't compatible. So, I then went back and used ffmpegx to re-encode my show twice. Both times to NTSC, once to .mov and once to .mp4. Tried it exactly the same way again for each, with exactly the same results.
    I tried downloading Xilisoft's DVD Creator to see if it worked there. No problems AT ALL with the .mp4 versions. Was able to put 4 episodes on one disc on medium quality, but the menus leave a lot to be desired. I'd like to use iDVD. I've made beautiful Photo DVDs with it. What am I doing wrong???

    +What am I doing wrong???+
    Did you switch to High Quality or Pro Quality encoding?
