Fit 2 1/2 hour program onto a DVD

I have a 2 1/2 hour program I cut in FCP7 with chapter markers for DVD Studio Pro. I tried to burn a DVD in DVDStudioPro and was told program was too long. What can I do now to fit it onto 1 DVD and still have chapter markers? I'm not much of an editor and was forced to do this project when my "real" editor had to bale.
Thanks!
This is an SD project.

The setting will tell you how many minutes you can expect to fit on a standard DVD-5 when you adjust the average data rate. Maximum bit rate will not effect how many minutes will fit on the disc. You may want to do a one minute test of a complex part of the video (lots of motion, pans, etc) to see what it will look like. You could be disappointed with the quality.
The alternative would be to make a dual-layer disc but unless you are having them manufactured vs. duplicated playback compatibility could be less than desirable with DL+/- media. Studios almost always make dual-layer discs (manufactured from a glass master at a replication facility) to ensure that the highest quality encoding can be used and will fit on the DL disc.

I am trying to burn a .mov file from fcp xpress timeline to a dvd. The popup message I receive prior to inserting the dvd is that I need 20.05 gb of space available on dvd (a 1.25 min). How can I get this program onto a dvd that shows a max of 8.5gb?.

3 hour program - Burn to DVD ?

Can anyone help me please! I need to know if there is a
software program that I can drop a 3 hour QuickTime movie file into and burn it to DVD. This movie is actually being used on a closed cirquit TV. system. There will be 2 different 3 hour movies/DVD's that I need to burn and they need to be produced WITHOUT ANY MENUS. The 2 DVD prgrams will run 24 - 7 and the menu would stop the DVD player from playing continuously. Someone suggested DVD Shrink but, I'm sure if its available for Mac or, if it would work.
I would appreciate any insight anyone might have
Thank you.

I created the 3 hour programs on Final Cut Pro 5 - exported as QuickTime movies and I do not currently have $600.00 to upgrade to Final Cut Studio. I had to replace my G4 recently and upgrade to FCP 5. So It's not in my budget. Also, I thought this was a question that only professional video producers would know the answer to or possibly a work around. I don't think to many professional video producers are discussing there problems on the iDVD board. So... if you know of any creative work arounds I would appreciate hearing them. There is probably not a lot of people that need to burn 3 hour DVD's with NO menu.

How to fit 4 1/2 hours onto a DVD

OK i dont get it. Because It says that a standard DVD fits 4.7 GBs on a DVD. So when I finished my project with FCP. I exported using QT conversion. I exported my file as an MP4 using H.264. and got my 4 1/2 hour project down to 2.4 GBs. But when I tried to import it to DVDSP it said incompatible format...
What is the best way to fit my 4 1/2 hour video onto a DVDSP project without losing a lot of quality...

I just dont understand that if I can get the files to under 3 GBs why they wont fit on a single layer DVD
I think you may be missing the basic element here. The DVD-Video specification was established so that DVD-Video discs would be properly recognized and play in DVD players from any manufacturer. But in order for that to happen, the files on the DVD MUST comply with the DVD-Video specification. That spec requires specially formatted, MPEG-2 video and multiplexed with either AIFF (PCM) or AC3 (Dolby Digital) audio in the form of VOB files.
It wouldn't matter if your file had the size of only 2mb. If it isn't in the right format, it won't work. Essentially, it isn't the size that matters in this case; it the file format you provide to DVD-SP.
When you exported your movie using QuickTime Conversion, it doesn't matter what the resulting file size is ... because you chose MPEG-4 (h.264) and that doesn't meet the DVD-Video specification, nor does it meet the requirements of DVD-SP for encoding.
That's what Compressor is for. You simply export from FCP "Using Compressor" and choose the appropriate DVD preset. In your case, you'd have to modify a preset to meet the bit rate requirements for a program the length of yours ... or use a dual layer disc as has already been suggested.
You can also export a reference or self-contained movie form FCP and use the resulting file in Compressor or import it directly into DVD-SP and let it do the encoding. However, using Compressor will allow you much more control.

ps: a single layer DVD disc (DVD-5) only has about 4.3gb of usable space even though the discs are rated at 4.7gb.

Fitting four hours onto a DVD?

Hello all.
Is there any way using Compressor to fit four hours of video onto a DVD?
When i try to compress, it gives me a maximum amount of something lie 174 minutes at a CBR of 2.
Any advice?
Thanks.

I created a custom compression setting that allowed me to get 4 hours onto a single DVD5 (the 4.7gig single layer DVDs). However, the footage looked absolutely terrible.
It is much better to go with the 150 Min compression and put it on a Dual Layer DVD (DVD9: 8.5gigs of space).
Hope that helps!

3 hours of footage onto 1 DVD?

Hi everyone,
We have a big project coming up: 3 hours (not including the menu.) How can we compress this using compressor so it all fits onto 1 DVD, either single or dual layer?
I've read in other posts that if you use AC3 audio instead of AIFF, that will help save room... but really i'd like to know more about the setting to use in Compressor/DVDSP in order to pull this off.
Thanks in advance

Do the math.
Double that maximum bit rate for twice the size of DVD5.
It will look better.
But you also might consider editing some of the footage.

I currently run the Design and Web Premium CS6 on a first generation MacBook Air and want to buy a new MacBook Pro. How do I know whether I can install my Adobe programs onto the new computer? Because I know there is some kind of limit.

Also, I had to install the software twice on my same computer before because I had to reboot the computer. I don't know if this affects the limit.

You are allowed to have two activated installations so there should not be a problem having working installations on the two machines. If by chance you have somehow tied up two activations for the one machine you can have Adobe support help resolve that thru chat.

Loading a program onto my eMac

Hi, I am hoping some one can help.............. I am trying to load a Living Book program onto my eMac so the kids don't have to load it into the disk drive everytime time they use it but I can't seem to get it to work..... I had them all loaded onto my iMac and all that took was to drag them onto the hard drive...... any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

New At This,
Insert the disc, open Applications> Utilities> Disk Utility, select the disc in the panel on the left, and from the menu select File> New> Disk Image from Disc. Save the image (.dmg extension) where your kids will be able to find it (but not, I'd suggest, on the desktop; it's too easy for it to end up in the Trash). When the kids want to run the Book program, instead of getting their fingerprints or worse all over the actual disc, have them double-click the .dmg disk image. that will mount the disc on the desktop and the program can then be launched normally, and when they're done, they eject the mounted image from the desktop. You can them keep the original disc someplace safe. This won't work if the Living Book disc is copy-protected.

To have great read/write performance, do you have to save all programs onto the SSD or can you save programs onto the HDD?

if I want to use the fast read/write speeds of my SSD, do I have to save the programs (Final Cut Pro X, Adobe After Effects, Microsoft Powerpoint, Steam, Counter-Strike, etc) onto the SSD? Or can I save all programs onto a 2nd drive which would be a HDD and still have fast speeds WITHOUT storing those programs onto the SSD? My 2012 mid Macbook Pro has a SSD as its main bootup drive and will be getting a 2tb HDD to replace the optical drive.
Any advice or comments is greatly appreciated,
Thank you!

Installing programs onto second computer

Hi, could someone direct me on how to get purchased programs onto a second computer? I bought one of the suites for my laptop, and would like to be able to use them on my desktop when home.
Thanks!

If you downloaded the suite and it is a new version, then download it again on your other machine and use the serial number from your purchase.
If it is an older (or new) version you can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.

If you have a problem finding the version in this site, provide the version you are looking for and a link can probably be provided.

When using Final Cut Pro X (iMac mid 2011 model-version 10.1.3) to burn 1 hour movie onto DVD, it seems to render but when computer says 'Sharing to DVD successful' and yet DVD is blank, what's my next move? Burning hardware is working as I burned a project using iMovie afterwards. I filmed a funeral service and family get together afterwards but can't share it with family and friends...plz......suggestions/recommendations/condemnations........

Another update to my burning problem...in my movies folder there is an img file (states it is a classic disk image-2.82GB) after I have tried burning a DVD unsuccessfully and when I open the img file I see 1) AUDIO_TS AND 2) VIDEO_TS files. I 'control' clicked the file and tried burning this folder onto a disc. Result it seemed to burn both files onto DVD but still couldn't view video.

I made an imovie project that's over 2 hours so iDVD won't let me burn it onto a DVD. What do I do?

Would I need to switch the disk in the middle of it burning so it can burn the other side
No, you do not flip over the disk. The dual-layers are both on the same side of the disk. You can't see them, they are just there, and iDVD will do what is necessary if it needs to burn both layers.
You would only flip over a disk if it were a "double-sided" disk. That's an entirely different kind of disk and it has only one layer on each side. Those are much older kinds of disks that were used commercially before the advent of dual-layer disks. I don't know anyone who uses them any more.
