How can I send a large .MOV file to a USB?

We had an event a few days ago, and made a movie with iMovie, when I finally finished making it and adding what i wanted and edited to my like I exported it. The file is currently 9.86GB. I have a 32GB USB thumbdrive but everytime I try to "drag and drop" it tells me the file is too large for the volumes format. Now, I'm confused. I also tried exporting it directly to my USB but that didn't work also. I've tried sending the movie through an ethernet cable I had, and I succeeded but the quality downgraded and the movie was converted to a 8.42GB movie. I want the full HD video I took and edited, and thats on my mac. By the way I'm trying to send this movie to my VAIO PC. So does anyone know how to copy .MOV files to a USB? It's a PNY 32GB USB thumbdrive.

Here's how I did it:
1. Open disc utility
2. Select the USB drive on the left
3. Click the "erase" button
4. It will give you a "Format" pull down bar, select "Mac extended journaled." That will give you the complete USB to use. I don't suggest case sensitive journaled.
5. Click "Erase and Reformat"
Success!

How can I send a large pdf file (42MB) attachment by email in Icloud ???

That's a bit excessive. The website http://convert.neevia.com/pdfcompress/ can compress files up to 5 MB in size. You may want to print to PDF single smaller pages, or print the document and scan it one page at a time to PDF, and then use the PDF compress tools to shrink it further.

How can I send a large video file from my iPhone 4?

How can I send (by text) a (fairly) large video file from my iPhone 4 without it getting compressed first?
If that's not possible is there a way to uncompress the video file one it is received onto the receiving iPhone?
Or is there a way to sync or transfer a video file from iPhone to iPhone?

ExFAT would be the best file system format, as it will handle files greater than 4GB.
If exFAT is not available, go for FAT32.
Just FAT is too limiting, so avoid that

How do I send a large movie file via email?

Hi - I've been reading through the manuals about how to stream movies to be accessible to friends.
Is there a way that I can post a short movie that I've created so that a friend overseas can have it stream onto her computer. I have created a number of versions using Quicktime Pro with the last using quicktime to save as a self-contained movie and an exported file using Movie to Hinter movie settings. I now have a quicktime movie of dimensions 960x540 and 168.6 MB. Is there any way that I can send this somehow to a friend's email address?

Here's one way to make it available online. This assumes however you have ftp access to a server and web site and your friend has a Mac with Safari.
1: Create a page with the Quicktime movie linked and upload the page and movie file to your server.
The web page address might look like this: http://www.websitename.com/moviename.mov
2: Email your friend with a link to the page.
3: If the receiver has Safari, they should click on the link to launch the web page, then go to the Menu bar > Window > Activity.
4: In the Activity window, a link will appear with the movie file.
5: Select that link, copy it, open the Downloads window, paste the link into the Downloads Window.
The file will download to your friend's computer. All this however does assume your friend has the luxury of being on a Mac.
Tip: Export the file using Quicktime Pro's settings for Web first to make the video's file size smaller.

How can one send email-sized photo files as attachments in Mail, without the photos appearing within the email?s

How can one send email-sized photo files as attachments in Apple Mail, without the photos appearing in the body of the email? If it can be done, it's not at all obvious, at least not to me. Thanks for any help you can provide.

The "View as icon" option shrinks the photo to an icon in the sender's Apple Mail, but how it appears to the recipient varies dependingy on what e-mail client he/she uses.
Using Apple Mail 5.0 (the Lion version) at both ends, the sender can use the "View as icon" option to shrink his view of the photo to an icon, but the recipient also using Apple Mail 5.0 still sees the full photo in line with the message text. The recipient can then use the "View as icon" option to shrink it to an icon, but I don't think that's not what jackofarabia is looking for.
As far as I know there is no way in the current Apple Mail to do what jackofarabia wants. There should be, but there isn't.

Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.

How do I handle a large movie file?

My wife created a DVD using iDVD containing both slide shows and a couple of movies. The movies play fine in Preview mode, but not on the burned DVD. I read the help files for iDVD and they said that movie files larger than 1GB may not play correctly, and indeed, the files in question are larger.
My question: If we update to a newer version of iDVD is this problem (or limit, I guess) solved?
Is there a way to break up a large movie file into smaller ones, but still have iDVD play them sequentially? (And with only one menu item on the main menu?)
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Dave,
I have never heard that large movie files may not play correctly. I have filled up many a DVD without experiencing this problem.
Now on splitting the movie up. Since the movie is already in iMovie, you just need to do a Edit>Split at Playhead to chop up the clip. As long as you don't put anything between the adjacent clips, they will play seemlessly when viewed on the DVD. You will not notice that they were split at all.
Hope this helps.

In what file type and compression format did you download the YouTube content? I.e., to avoid such issues, you would normally download the source files as content that is natively compatible with your target player or convert incompatible file type/compression format combinations to files that are compatible with your targeted media player.
