How can I copy a very large iMovie file (10.08 GB) onto a disc?

I have an imovie project of my daughters wedding and I would like to put it on a disc for her, however, it is so big ( 10.08GB) that I can't find a DVD disc big enough. I bought a 16GB USB drive thinking I could copy it to that but my iMac says that it is too big to copy. Can anyone help please?
Also is it possible to save an imove file as a different type of file? if so, how do i do it?

If you want your daughter to be able to play the movie in a DVD player, you need DVD authoring software. Get a copy of iDVD (discontinued but you can still find copies of the old iLife09 or iLife11 package that include iDVD) or Roxio Toast.
Export your iMovie project to a QuickTime movie file, then import the resulting QT movie into iDVD or Toast and create your DVD. They will encode & compress your movie to fit on a DVD and be playable in a DVD player.
Note: you can fit up to about 2 hours of video on a single-layer DVD disk and up to about 4 hours on a dual-layer DVD disk. The iMovie project file size is not the correct measure here, the length in time of the video is.

How can I copy the whole directory of files from PC to iPad?

How can I copy the whole directory of files from PC to iPad ?

Get an app that reads PDF's, such as iBooks or GoodReader or Readdle Docs, then use the file transfer part of iTUnes to get those files to your iPad, through iTunes. ( I have no experience with goodreader, but with ReaddleDocs you can move the files, then create folders to put them in to keep them organized)

How Can I Stitch Together Two Large mp4 Files?

I have two very large mp4 files (close to 1 GB each) and I need to join them together into one mp4 file. Is there a free program that will allow me to do that? I tried using iMovie but there wasn't enough room on my hard drive to create an iMovie project for it.

MPEG Streamclip in batch mode will allow you to do this for free. Just make sure they are named in order , e.g. A.avi, b.avi - drag to the batch list and select join files. You will have to reencode them to something like H264 to do this. Which is probably a good idea anyway vs. whatever mystery AVI codec is in use.
If they play in QT and you already have QT Pro, just open both, set the pointer on A to the end of the clip. Then for B select all (CMD+A), copy (CMD+C), then click on the player for A and do paste (CMD+V). "Save as" (new filename) will make a new MOV file without reencoding them.
The SimplemovieX author is supposed to say more than he is the author but that he gets compensation for his recommendations. Since he expects you to buy his software. Don't bother.

How can I copy Time Machine's backup files?

I recently bought a new external HD for my iMac, a 'LaCie d2 Quadra' with 320GB. I currently have a 'LaCie Brick' of 80GB which I use for Time Machine.
My question is: how can I copy the backup files from the Brick to the Quadra drive; then turn the Quadra into the new Time machine drive and reformat the Brick?
Is this possible, or are my backup files doomed?
Unfortunately I can't keep the Brick (I promised to give it to my sister), so having two Time Machine drives isn't an option.
Who can help me out?

It is possible as described at
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20071128055047339
and read the comments as well.
Also make sure you do think about the difference between backing up (back up of the main hard drive) versus archiving (saving important data, usually off line). With backup, if you delete the data on the main hard drive, it will eventually be gone on the back up as well, when the 'old space' gets reused. You'll get a notification as this starts to happen, but over a long time period when the backup volume starts to fill up, this will happen.
All important files should be archived. Everything should be at least 'backed up.'

How do I delete a very Large "Other" File

I erroneously loaded a ton of music files to the "Other" file on my ipod classic 80g...What is the easiest way to delete this large file from the ipod?

This method deleted the huge "Other" file, but of course results in a long term issue of re-loading the ipod w/a large original file. On a external drive, I have my itunes music folder and other music in MP3/CD formats. I've tried to load these songs to the ipod, but it seems to want to place them in the "Other" file and not music. I have been manually loading these songs from the external drive and sliding them right into the music library on the itunes page. Is this the right to do this?

How can I take a very large gif and print it over many pages?

I have a gif image that, if printed, comes out all compacted (read: much too small) on one page. It is so small that it cannot really serve as a poster that I want to hang in my classroom.
My desired result is to take the image and somehow split / divide it so that I can print it over multiple pages, and the image be properly sized, which I can then connect to make a poster.
Any ideas how to get this done with Fireworks?
Thanks all! :-)

Illustrator is good for this. Its Print dialog allows for page tiling with adjustable overlap and includes a thumbnail preview.
You can print from Fireworks, but it relies on the native print options of your operating system, which may or may not allow you to print a single image across multiple pages.

How can I copy the name of a file, that I selected by a click?

Hi,
I have a device controled by a Excell (VBA) interface. Truogh this interface I control the motors and Diadem (for the report) and the data are save in a database. When I use the load button from the excell, the VBA application call the script from Diadem Load_DATA_BOF.VBS, (after I complete the new data for the report), and make the report. Now to make it work, I copy the name of the filename that I want to load in a TextBox, and all the data are store in a txt file( protocol_for_load.txt) and Diadem takes from there the data for the report.
What I want to do is to fill automatic the field of the filename in the protocol_for_load.txt, when I select the file in Diadem.
Can this be done?
Thank you for your time

Hi Brad,
I find out how to copy the name of a selected file ( with filedlgfile) and now I want to open the text file ( with the name the same like the file loaded) so I can read the data from inside, but the command textfileopen from the script can't support a variable in the description, I thing.
Fno = textfileopen ( filenametxt, tfread)
Please look in to my script to understand better.
I need to open the txt file with the name the same like the file loaded, to take the data and fill the report. This I need to do in Diadem Script, because I will call the script trough a VBA interface.
Sorry for not being more clearly first time, but I am a beginner in working with VBS.

This should give you some good insight, I'd probably store them on an External HD on the old machine and then just drag and drop to the new machine.

Hi,
Copy the content of PDF file in Adobe Reader and paset it to MS Word then create PDF file from the Word file.
This may not work for all PDF files as some PDF files are not created correctly or some content cannot be copied.
Acrobat XI Pro has features to extract/delete/crop pages in PDF files and you can download it from www.adobe.com(Trial version- 30 days free). Or you can upgrade your subscription to Acrobat Plus and see more information at https://www.acrobat.com/acrobatplus/en/home.html

How can NI FBUS Monitor display very large recorded files

NI FBUS Monitor version 3.0.1 outputs an error message "Out of memory", if I try to load a large recorded file of size 272 MB. Is there any combination of operating system (possible Vista32 or Vista64) and/or physical memory size, where NI FBUS Monitor can display such large recordings ? Are there any patches or workarounds or tools to display very large recorded files?

Hi,
NI-FBUS Monitor does not set the limitation on the maximum record file size. The physical memory size in the system is one of the most important factors that affect the loading of large record file. Monitor will try loading the entire file into the memory during file open operation.
272MB is a really large file size. To open the file, your system must have sufficient physical memory available. Otherwise "Out of memory" error will occur.
I would recommend you do not use Monitor to open a file larger than 100MB. Loading of a too large file will consume the system memory quickly and decrease the performance.
